Below average, but food was good.
Our stay was one night. The food and service in the restaurant was good. The room was dated and dirty, but luckily the bedding was clean. There are some things that are easy to fix. If a chair is that dirty it's better to not have a chair if the hotel chain cannot afford new ones (see attached photo). The "Art" on the wall is also not necessary... Maybe no art is better than some art. The bed wasn't very comfy but there was no noise so we did manage to get a sleep. €120 is very expensive for what we slept in.

Works well for an early flight
Check in was easy. Staff were friendly. The room (perhaps got the hotel.com special?) was clean but small and had a very strange layout - not like other Novotel I’ve stayed in. The restaurant was good but very busy and seemed understaffed. All in, with the free shuttle the hotel works very well for an early flight. I would stay here again.

Only option for food was a buffer at 33 euros. The bus arrangement is not great. I'd probably prefer to pay more and stay at a hotel closer to airport with an actu6 choice of food. It unreasonable to get a bid to this hotel to find there are no options other than 33 euros buffet.

Loved the facilities at the Hotel. The staff were quite friendly and responsive to our queries. The place was super quiet even though we were right next to the airport. The breakfast buffet was really good, with a good selection available. We made the smart choice of including breakfast when we made the reservation, otherwise playing something like 24 Euros per person for breakfast might be a bit too expensive for some. The hotel airport shuttle was super convenient to get to the airport on time.
