Good accessibility from the station (two stops direct train from the airport). Booked in a superior room which was expensive. A nice enough room and quiet but photos on Expedia show coffee machines in the room class booked. The reality was a very limited number (2) of instant sachets. Asked about breakfast time when checking in, wasn't informed despite the high room rate what had been booked didn't include breakfast. Ok, but on attending in the morning, it didn't even include a black coffee either. Disappointing for the price.

Good hotel located close to Hardbrucke train station (7-10 minutes walk) which is 10 minutes from airport or city centre. There is a big Co-op nearby which is very convenient.

The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. The strict early check in process was lengthy although I paid extra for it. They need to realize that a customer who have travelled far and is tired they need refreshment. so the staff needed to clean it up earlier espcially when I had contacted them early. The second issue was it was hard to get hold of hotel clerk over the phone from overseas.

I would not stay here again.

Our bed was two single beds pushed together so you kept falling down the middle of them during the night! Which meant me and my wife could not hug! The pillows were really hard, like rocks! Did not sleep very well. The morning buffet was so expensive, even though the kids were “free”, it was still 31 Swiss Franks per person!!

Very unexpected response from Novotel Resv team

I was very disappointed with the customer service from the Novotel Reservations team. Unfortunately, my wife fell sick and we had to cancel my plan partially. Even after describing the whole situation and sharing all the the travel documents with the Reservation department, they simply ignored my case and avoided to help. It was not expected from a reputed hotel like Novotel. If they care about their customer and discuss this matter further, I would love to talk to them.

Great Location. Friendly Staff. Price was Right.

First and foremost the Staff was very attentive to our needs whether we needed extra pillows, extra blankets, any info or recommendation on sight seeing or restaurants to eat at the staff was great. It was my wife and two 21 year old daughters staying at the Novatel for 5 nights for holiday from the States. . Rooms very clean. Hotel located in a good location. Not very touristy (which we like) but walkable to train station (about 20 minutes). Lots of restaurants to choose from on the walk toward train station. Grocery store across the street 2minute walk.
