Novotel Brisbane Airport
I want to sincerely thank the front desk staff for their incredible patience and kindness. My English isn't very strong, but they went above and beyond to help me with everything—especially one gentleman from Hong Kong who even helped translate the restaurant menu. That was such a thoughtful touch! The chef, KK, is actually Chinese, and he personally customized dishes for us—perfectly suited to our taste. The pizza was delicious, and the yogurt fruit salad was fresh, generous in portion, and absolutely refreshing. A real highlight! The only downside was the airport shuttle: it costs $8 and sometimes waits up to 30 minutes, which isn’t ideal. Taxis to the airport run around $20, which feels a bit steep. Still, despite that small issue, the overall experience was excellent. The hotel is well-located, clean, and staff are genuinely welcoming. If transportation were improved, this would be a perfect stay. Highly recommend for travelers looking for comfort and great service.
