I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The location is excellent, close to the riverside, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy the view. The hotel itself is very clean, with spotless white bed covers and towels. The staff were friendly and very helpful, ensuring a smooth experience throughout my stay. Check-in and check-out were quick and hassle-free. The only minor issue for me was that the mattress was a bit too soft for my preference. Overall, it's a great place to stay, especially for whom appreciate cleanliness, good service, and a convenient location.

Horrible Stay for a Returning Customer My recent stay at the Novotel was not only disappointing — it was deeply unsettling. As a returning guest, I had hoped my experience would improve from the last visit, which, while far from perfect due to inattentive and inconsistent service, was redeemed solely by the absolutely AMAZING concierge, George. His professionalism and warmth were the only reasons I chose to return. Unfortunately, my second stay quickly turned into the worst hotel experience I've ever had — anywhere in the world. I was travelling alone for business and had booked several nights. On the second day of my stay, a man (who was not hotel staff) entered my room while I was in bed. He was as shocked to see me as I was to see him — he immediately backed out and left. I was horrified. I contacted the front desk expecting urgent action. Instead, I was met with an unresponsive and indifferent attitude. After about 15 minutes, someone finally came to check the door’s card reader, only to discover it had been faulty since the moment I checked in. I was told they would review the CCTV footage, but I had to keep chasing them up for any updates or action. The front desk manager seemed more focused on explaining why they couldn’t see the man on the cameras than on addressing the serious safety concern or taking responsibility. It took nearly an hour of back-and-forth before they moved me to another room — without a single apology or acknowledgement of what had happened. There was no follow-up, no check-in, and no consideration shown for the fact that I am a woman travelling alone and had just experienced a major security breach. This experience was not only unacceptable — it was deeply distressing. I felt dismissed, unsafe, and completely unsupported by the hotel staff. I tried to share my feedback privately through the post-stay survey that was sent out, but the form didn’t work — even after multiple attempts. So here I am, sharing this publicly on Google, because guests deserve to know what kind of response they may receive if something goes wrong. Novotel seriously failed in its duty of care to a guest. I will not be returning again.
