Bedroom layout. Including a sofa meant bed was too close to bathroom doors. Having a separate toilet, means you have to walk round to wash hands. Bath very slippery. Access & egress could be dangerous for the less agile. No continental breakfast is worth 19Euro. On the positive, the room had a coffee machine and kettle. Parking is excellent and the hotel location spot on. Reception staff are very friendly but restaurant staff either don't like the English or are over worked.

A good choice

This Novotel was good. Nice room (520) , - and cozy restaurant and nice small pool. Friendly personal. Very within small walking distance to both old town and the harbor. One bad thing: Please cut out this meaningsless "telling room number" to breakfast. Everyone can say a number. And someone did. Up on our check out, they want to charge us for a brekfast we never did enter. Must be very easy to just put up a scanner, and scan room key card when enter for breakfast ?Even more easy just to let it be included in room price.

I cancelled more than 24 hours in advance due to a flight delay and was advised that the refund would be processed through expedia. When Expedia contacted the hotel to process the refund, it was denied. That is a dishonest practice to refuse to refund a cancellation.

HOTEL SURNOTE A OUBLIER Le parking est très sûr car fermé en permanence à cause des barres d immeuble qui entourent l hôtel si vous êtes côté parking vous ne verrez que ça le parking et les immeubles. Si vous avez besoin d une facture passez votre chemin vous n en n aurez pas surtout si vous êtes passé par une plate-forme, ils refusent tout simplement de l éditer, donc pas de remboursement possible par l entreprise! Le plats ne sont pas fait maison c est uniquement de l assemblage dans la salade cesar les petitres tranches de poulet etaient toutes colérs les unes aux autres ils n ont pas pris la peine de les séparer
