Great ,
Great accomodation, close to the airport, great quiet sleep . What kept bringing us back was the restaurant but last time the food was not as good and the prices very high for a meal, otherwise everything else is fantastic, hopefully the kitchen is back to what it was when we are back next

Convenient Location
The Novotel is a short trip to the T1 Terminal, either by foot or vehicle. If you take the Airport shuttle it is first drop off/last pick up, so no long rides before getting to the Novotel or Airport T1 terminal. Novotel offers all the usual amenities and is clean and comfotable.

Close to airport set in a lovely area
Great hotel near airport. We spent one night before our morning flight. There are many Asian eateries nearby and we enjoyed walking around the park across the road. There is a shuttle bus that takes you to the airport which costs $12 per person. It only takes 10 minutes to get there.
