Checking in was smooth. Staff was very friendly. Rooms seemed old. Bath towels were terrible - rough and old is an understatement. Hot water was almost nonexistent. Breakfast buffet was ok - nothing extraordinary.

It was just an average hotel stay. No microwave in the room. Room service never showed up despite multiple requests. Servicing staff in dining area was very friendly and nice but the people in dining checkin were not friendly at all and didn’t even bother responding to the greetings much less do a greeting themselves or have a smiling face

Service was fabulous. The male spa facilities need urgent attention. The pool was being renovated but we didn’t know this until arrival. We would have picked another hotel with a pool if we knew. Management compensated us for this inconvenience though, which was very efficient. Rooms ok, just a bit damp in bathroom. Tap leaking in kitchen and shower leaking all over the floor in bathroom

Avoid at peak times

Very average stay. Reached the hotel at 5pm (check-in time was 2pm) and still waited an hour to be checked in. Eventually was given a People of Determination room which we accepted since we did not have the energy or patience to waste more time. Wifi in the hotel is extremely slow. Taxi are easily available and the hotel was clean and staff was friendly.

This was my second time within 2 weeks I stayed in Novotel, the same story. Not very good customer service, smelly room, horrible pillows, AC was blowing cold air straight into a nose, couldn't change this set up, AC controller was failing apart, found hairs in the bathroom, shower was leaking.
