Called in at the bar for a Saturday drink. Outstanding service from Bradley. He made us very welcome and suggested the best drinks and place to enjoy the view of the river. Lovely modern hotel in the centre of Hamilton.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Outstanding Stay! Novotel Hamilton completely exceeded my expectations from start to finish. The bed was unbelievably comfortable – the best night’s sleep I’ve had in years – and the shower was hot with perfect pressure, a real treat after a busy day. But what truly sets this hotel apart is the staff. Every single person I met was friendly, attentive, and genuinely happy to help, making me feel completely at home. A special shout-out to Candy, who was an absolute standout – warm, professional, and so thoughtful. She made my stay extra special with her kindness and attention to detail. And the food? Simply incredible! Hot, fresh, full of flavour, with a great variety and all dietary needs catered for effortlessly. Without a doubt, this is the best hotel dining I’ve ever experienced. I will be back without hesitation – Novotel Hamilton is hospitality done right!

First time visit for a conference up the road at Claudelands. Staff & service levels very accommodating. Rooms was nice & bed comfy. We only had lunch one day and breakfast which was good. I wouldn't say food was exceptional but on par with other 4 star hotels. Would stay here again.

Overall this was a nice hotel. Beds very comfortable and the room was clean although a bit small and quite tired (the carpet was coming up in places). Little things like no help with luggage at all, no information on check in or in the room, no water in the room, no instructions for the guest laundry so I did lose a few dollars and I was not offered a refund on this - instead the porter was at pains to very politely explain what I had done wrong (despite there being no instructions at all by the machines) I felt terrible but in the end I had to walk away from him droning on at me. Restaurant was excellent, although a little chilly at night.
