I loved my stay at the Novotel in Brisbane, the room was big with 2 queen size beds and beautiful bedding. It also had a sofa, large flat screen TV and plenty of room to store luggage. The bathroom had a shower over the bath which was fine for me but difficult for my elderly mother to get in and out of. The pool and gym area was large and clean. Staff were very helpful and always cutious. The position of the hotel was a little out of the way and up a very steep hill from the city, I never realised Brisbane was so hilly until this trip. Parking is available on site for $28 a day, you do have to get you ticket validated from reception staff first otherwise you get charged each time you leave the hotel. The best part of our stay at this novotel as the food. We ate at the bar, the restaurant for dinner and breakfast. I have stayed at novotels all over the world and would rate there dinner and bar meals as some of the best I have had and very reasonably priced, as I have a accor advantage plus card meals were half price. The breakfast was a bit below standard and the coffee was terrible, dried up bacon, shrivelled eggs, but i have to say the yoghurt, burcher muesli and rice dish was lovely. They also have an organic section with beautiful banana bread. Overall I would rate this Novotel as 8/10 and would stay here again.
