Very Decent

Jomebr Solo travel - 8/3/2025 TripAdvisor review

Underwhelming Novotel

Shane S Business - 7/31/2025 TripAdvisor review

I came for a full and long day at Parliament House. We had a few rooms and understood the rooms wouldn’t be ready. Just to get checkin to let us check in and then collect the key later seemed out of the ordinary. Nothing proactive to say they’d put our bags in our room when the room was available. We had to come back and do that in the afternoon then head back to meetings. Lucky we did as when we returned after 11pm, no one was at reception. The room itself was dated, very basic. Was it an Ibis? My shower had 2 shampoos and a conditioner, no body wash. I wouldn’t stay there again.

Outdated and unclean

amg1979 Families - 7/27/2025 TripAdvisor review

Inconvenient, old rooms. Shabby.

Gai Thangayer C 7/21/2025 TripAdvisor review

School holiday nightmare! Can't book parking! We had lots to unload, couldn't be done. 20 trips round the block. No off street unload/load options. Even if u score a space it can be taken by someone else. Paid later for overnight $32! after we saw someone leave. Then had to pay another $16 at the gate. Room was grubby dirty carpet. Pointless huge desk. Noisy, lifts were the slowest in the world! Massive queue for brekky. Go to Blue Olive Cafe instead,. Says it's great for mountain biking, snow sports but the bike racks were not very secure in parking area. Guy said there was a camera but there wasn't. Learnt later that there was a foyer store that can fit a whole 2 bikes,! We had snowboards that we would have like to take off roof too and store, but there's nowhere you can put sports equipment. Basically it's a 2 star hotel with no parking charging 5 star prices.

Another great stay

jppetty 7/21/2025 TripAdvisor review

We have stayed here many times and will keep coming back.The ease of experiencing the city close to public transport and the shopping centre are a bonus .The accommodation is ageing and yet very much in touch with what is needed for very comfortable pleasant clean stay.The rooms are very clean and serviced daily if you wish or you can be green and be rewarded and there is parking on site .The restaurant serves a wonderful selection for breakfast and a sumptuous amount of choices for dinner.And I guess what makes a memorable stay is the staff and they are so amazing in helping with any thing that you might need
