Pool area was subpar. There is no service there as BBQ and other outdoor areas are under renovation, as well as facade of the hotels. That didn't bother us as much, as we had planty to di being in the heart of Surfers Paradise. Buffet breakfast was good enough and all and all we really enjoyed the stay. Staff was friendly, but pool area was a bit of a disappointment.

The room itself was nice, but I expected a walk-in shower as advertised. The towels had some stains on them, which made us question the overall cleanliness. We went down for the buffet breakfast, and at over $80 for two people, it felt overpriced considering we only had one plate each. The tables and cutlery also weren’t very clean. We ordered room service for dinner, but my drink was forgotten, and I had to call an hour later to remind them. Breakfast service was also disappointing — we waited about an hour and twenty minutes on the first morning, only to get a call saying there were no eggs available and to order something else. I’m not sure if we were charged extra for the change. The room wasn’t as soundproof as we’d hoped either. We could hear the shower running in the rooms above and next door, as well as the banging from housekeeping while they were cleaning. Overall, it was an okay stay, but the service and cleanliness didn’t meet expectations for the price.

Wonderful stay at the Novotel. Staff were friendly, buffet breakfast was awesome, pool was nice and it was in a great location. Parking got a bit crowded on Saturday evening and difficult to find a park in the surfers mall car park, frustrating when you’ve paid $25 per day and had to drive around for 30+ minutes to find a park to get up to your room. Overall, it was an excellent experience and I will be staying at the Novotel again.

I booked a 3 stay in a executive room ocean view to celebrate my wife’s 30th and our anniversary.. I clearly mentioned to them over phone call about this.. I also emailed the hotel and Harvey hill reservation agent assured me to look into this.. I expected small amenity as a surprise for my wife.. but nothing was arranged or organised.. though I was willing to pay for it.. really disappointed about the arrangement .. room was not even cleaned properly.. just the bed was made.. dirty cups and stuffs were left behind upon cleaning.. tea bags and toiletries not topped up.. staffs were friendly and locations is just WOW.. but overall I enjoyed my stay.. good and lively environment.. plenty of options around.. breakfast and dinner options available .. but definitely worth the visit.. Gold Coast you have my heart..
