Great location for walking distance to the airport. We were able to check in early and the kids could have a swim. We left the hotel at 2.30am for an early morning flight but felt safe and only took 10 mins to walk to the airport.

Staff were excellent. Especially the greeter at the breakfast and the person doing the barista coffees at breakfast. Room was big, modern and comfortable. Pool was good. V close to T4 but easy walking to all terminals. Food was fine for a Novotel. Nothing special but not bad for a chain.

Rooms are great and an easy walk to/from the airport. The gym is the largest I've ever seen for a hotel, absolutely fantastic. Even had compression leggings. The restaurant was great and breakfast was excellent. There aren't many food options around otherwise though, and we found UberEats etc did not deliver around the airport.
