I recently stayed at Novotel for work purposes. Upon check-in, I was advised that breakfast was not included in my booking. After confirming with my workplace that breakfast had in fact been pre-paid and included, I returned to reception to clarify. I was then asked to pay for breakfast upfront and told that, if applicable, a refund would be processed later. Given the clear confirmation in the booking that breakfast was already included, I did not feel comfortable proceeding with an additional charge due to the risk of being double billed. Also noting this seems to be a common problem in the reviews. This created an unnecessary inconvenience at the start of the stay. The room itself was adequate but unremarkable. As there are no opening windows, the space felt quite musty. The bathroom unfortunately had a noticeable odour reminiscent of dirty feet, which impacted the overall comfort. The air conditioning unit was loud and did not cool effectively, while the fridge was even louder and froze all items placed inside it. Overall, I would consider this a three-star experience. It serves its purpose as a place to sleep when needed for convenience near the airport, but there is room for improvement in both service clarity and room maintenance.
Novotel Brisbane Airport - Convenient and Comfortable, But Self Check-In Needs Work I recently stayed at the Novotel Brisbane Airport and overall had a very positive experience. The hotel is perfectly located for early flights or late arrivals — just a short drive from the domestic terminal and an easy shuttle ride from international. The rooms are modern, spacious, and well-appointed with comfortable beds, good blackout curtains, and everything you need after a long day of travel. The bathroom was spotless, and the soundproofing is excellent, which is crucial near an airport. The hotel itself feels fresh and welcoming. The pool area is a nice bonus, the gym is well-equipped, and the on-site restaurant serves decent food with friendly service. Staff members I interacted with were helpful and professional. That said, I was disappointed with the self-check-in machines. They felt like a very poor touch for a hotel of this standard. Not only did the system struggle to properly recognise international names (mine required several attempts and manual staff intervention anyway), but the whole process feels impersonal and transactional. It strips away one of the key elements of what staying at a hotel should be — that human welcome and sense of genuine service. After a long flight, a warm greeting at the desk makes a big difference. Machines simply can’t replace that. Despite the check-in frustration, I would still recommend the Novotel Brisbane Airport for its convenience, clean rooms, and solid facilities. Just be aware that the arrival experience could be warmer. A better balance between technology and traditional hospitality would make this place excellent.
Great stay and location is perfect next door to DFO.Check in was very easy staff were very helpful and friendly. We stayed 2 nights in a Premium king room with breakfast included. Buffet breakfast was really good.Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable. We will definitely stay again.
We had a great stay at Novotel Brisbane Airport. The location is fantastic, especially if you’re heading off on a cruise. It’s conveniently close to both the airport and the cruise terminal. Having DFO right next door was a real bonus, with plenty of shopping, food options and a Woolworths all within easy walking distance. The beds were very comfortable, the room was clean, modern and surprisingly quiet, making for a great night’s sleep. Check-in was quick and easy, and we were pleasantly surprised that our room was available early. We’d definitely stay here again on our next trip.
Customers are expected to check themselves in. If I had know I wouldn't have booked. Luckily there was a staff member ( Tershia i hope I got the name right ) who changed this awful experience ( Self Serve check in) she completed it for me. Wonderful experience with this staff member. So much for a 5 Star Hotel.
