Donald A. J. W. Couples - 24/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

It was an unusual stay. We checked in the hotel and went to our room. A little later we decided to check with our flight scheduled for the next day - it was cancelled so we looked a flights on the day we checked in and there was an open flight which we booked. We checked out 2 hours after we had checked in and the desk clerk was very gracious and reduced the fee that we paid. She didn't have to do that but we were impressed at her kindness. It is a stressful time and it was nice to see an act of kindness like that !!!

Disappointing

Customer review rating 4.2/5

Anonymous Solo - 18/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Id booked for only 1 night between connecting flights and thought Id treat myself to a really nice hotel. My experience was however very disappointing !! I had to call 2 times for tbe shuttle and waited over 30 minutes for it (staff apologized and offered a welcome drink) ....If Id known I would have walked. Room was smaller and not as spacious as I expected from the photos and I found the ovef all appearance rather old and lacking in chic expected of high standard chains like Novotel. I also found hair on the pillow and the wall of the shower as well as stains on the wall above the desk....coffee or..... Otherwise very convenient for Terminal 1 of course which was 1 of the reasons Id chosen it. However other budget options would have been just as good in view of my disappointment and a good rate offered by my company. Sorry but I wont be booking again

Florentina Business - 20/02/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

The room temperature was too hot and I could not open the window or cooling the room down. It's a shame because it ruined my night. The breakfast was really nice and it was really quick to come from the airport, my flight landed at 22.30 and I was in my room before 23.00 ; that's really good when you are tired of your trip and only want to go to bed.

Cyril Business - 26/01/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Every year, I go to this hotel in January to Mars, every week for business. I left last week with a rather mixed impression. I must say that this time was much better. The personnel is as friendly and efficient as ever. Happily they also made their best effort to provide me with a quiet room, a blanket and a sheet and far from the elevator. I could rest much more and better this time.

Useful hotel, close to the airport

TripAdvisor rating 3.5/5

893cyrild Business - 21/01/2020 TripAdvisor review

Being a recurring client of Novotel in multiple locations, I have the opportunity to compare the service and overall experience. The hotel is currently being renovated, which should improve the overall experience in the future. A few things are however to improve. First, I explicitly asked before going, and then when I arrived, to replace the duvet with a blanket. I did not get any feedback or explanation why this was not done. Then, the restaurant has to improve. The food looks microwaved and not cooked on site. The result is disappointing, for a rather hefty price. Being a gold member, I expected a form of upgrade if the hotel was not full - not there. The status does not seem to provide any specific advantage (besides a free drink). In Paris, there is a upgrade to a large room in the last floor (with Nespresso machine), sweets, and a few more attentions - and a blanket as requested. The personnel is very friendly (reception, restaurant) and the management is also on the ball. This is why I continue to go there, but I hope that they can improve a bit.

Reception and collection from the airport excellent. Restaurant food and service first class. Room and aménités reasonable except for the plastic glasses provided which were very fragile, two of which could not be used as they already had cracks probably caused by mishandling.

Very good hotel with a couple of issues

Customer review rating 4.2/5

Anonymous Friends - 20/12/2019 Confirmed reviews ALL

We enjoyed our stay very much. On the positive side, the hotel's location is excellent, within easy walking distance of Terminal 1 at Nice Cote d'Azur and with very convenient transportation to Nice city by tram. The shuttle to and from the airport is great. For those with cars, there is ample underground parking at the hotel at a reasonable cost. All members of the staff were very helpful, professional and friendly. I would especially like to compliment the gentleman in charge of the breakfast room whose name, unfortunately, I did not get. The rooms and bathrooms were fine and had all the necessary conveniences including a large screen smart TV. They are somewhat dated and could use a refurbishment. On the problematic side, I should point out that the rooms on the eastern side facing the airport become very warm and stuffy due to direct sunlight during the day. It is not possible to open a window, and since at this time of year the AC is off, the rooms can become rather unbearable. Some solutions to this should be found. We were kindly offered a change of rooms to the shaded side. Public areas of the hotel are undergoing renovation and in fairness, I believe this fact should be brought to the attention of those reserving. The work is being done in a way that minimizes bother to the guests but nevertheless it degrades the hotel experience and is something that the hotel should bring to the attention of those interested in reserving. On one day of our stay, there was a 5-6 hour water cut-off. I believe that in addition to informing guests the hotel would be wiser to make some gesture as we are paying in full for far less than optimal service. At the very least, large bottles of water should be placed in the rooms. Preferably some kind of discount should be offered in compensation. Breakfast is quite good and tasty. I believe though that offering only one vegetable, tomatoes, is not sufficient and that at least cucumbers and lettuce should be available, as is the case in most Novotels that we have stayed at. Bottom line, we would definitely recommend this hotel for visits to Nice.

You hotel made fraud , becaus in web pages nothing not staying information the gues must after arrivals preauthorized extras . Newer again not in used any Accor services and deffonatly not recommended your brand no any other guest .

Dear Mr Konstantin, Thank you for your comment, I'm really surprise about this and I don't undersatnd very well. Your credit card has been refused before your arrival and we never charge anything on your credit card. When you've arrived at the hotel, Sandie, my assistant ask from you another credit card as a guarantee for your room and payment has been refused again. Sandie offer to you a coffee and you've stayed at the bar for a while. You've canceled your booking then, and left the hotel Could you send me a proof that we have charged your credit card for 3 nights? 400€ ?? You have to know that we have some rules to respect at the front desk and we are sorry if you've decided to cancel your booking. Staying at your disposal, Regards Anne LEJEUNE Front desk manager

The room was too hot, air-conditioning wasn't working

Customer review rating 4.2/5

Ellen Couples - 13/12/2019 Confirmed reviews ALL

This was a real shame that the air-conditioning wasn't working. We pick this hotel to stay at as we had a very early flight and wanted to get a good nights sleep. Unfortunately it didn't work out this way as the air conditioning was not working. We were not notified that this was the case when checking in. I think this is an area that the management needs to look into.
