I appreciated the convenient location of Novotel Melbourne Airport, perfect for my early flight. Plus, I enjoyed the excellent breakfast and the quiet atmosphere despite being near the airport. However, the automated check-in machines didn't work, and I found the restaurant's pricing to be quite steep, especially for the portion sizes.

The hotel featured good amenities. but I felt the information provided about services like the mini bar could have been clearer. Instead of a text message link, a traditional info sheet would have been much easier.
