Unfortunate Stay

Customer review rating 1.0/5

B Couples - 22/02/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Our stay was ruined because of alarms going off for 45 minutes starting at 6:45 on a holiday Monday. The alarms were going off to test the system, and did not need to be done at that outrageous hour on a holiday. There was no room service of any sort. The staff were rude over the phone on multiple occasions. When I asked if I could get a late checkout because of the alarm, the front desk staff threatened to call the police on us if we didn't get out of the building at 12 noon.

Safe visit

COVID and fire - poor communication

Customer review rating 2.0/5

Shannon Couples - 28/01/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Were not informed of any covid related changes to the average hotel stay (though we assumed there would be some) prior to check in/at check in. Had to call the front desk 2 days later to figure out how to dealt with garbage, not enough toiletries or new towels. Fire alarm went off at 5am. Obviously not the hotel’s fault but it was extremely confusing and the back of the door explanation of steps to take incase of the fire were not consistent with the messaging.

Great staff and awesome neighborhood

We enjoyed this hotel. Reception was very helpful and professional. The room was spacious and modern with nice updates touches. The bathroom was clean and well lite. The bed was very comfortable and good selection of pillow. We would stay here again.

Norma S 14/11/2020 TripAdvisor review

Despite the fact that Toronto is almost an "epi centre" for COVID at this time, I felt that the Novotel downtown was making every effort to keep its patrons and staff safe. My room was spotless and there was evidence of frequent cleaning throughout the lobby area. My only regret is that this hotel, as with most others, has removed its bath tubs.

Dear Norma, Thank you for taking the time to review your recent stay at the Novotel Toronto Centre. As you mentioned we are cleaning our lobby hourly to provide a safe environment to our guest. All our safety measures can be found on our website. We hope to welcome you back again soon ! Paul - Manager, Operations

Overall this property is great, easy access, good parking, well maintained and good Covid 19 best practices. I wish hotel kitchen had easier access and better options then 4 items during covid. Elevator Hand Sanitizer is often empty.

Room was disgusting

TripAdvisor rating 1.0/5

Voyager20201028 28/10/2020 TripAdvisor review

Policy is they can’t rent the same room within a 48 hour window BUT when given my room it smelled like cigarettes, ashes in the bed frame and dog food in the floor. Clearly the cleaning staff are idiots and just made the beds and probably didn’t even clean the sheets. When brought up to the manager on site she said it wasn’t that bad and she didn’t see what was wrong and gave me so much attitude. I asked for a different room and it was asking them to make me the CEO of Novotel, it was a fight to get a new room. Terrible service and terrible management. I definitely wouldn’t stay here again.

Downtown Toronto Stay

Betsy O Business - 27/10/2020 TripAdvisor review

We havent stayed at the Novetel for a few years, but business brought us into town. We where greeted as regular customers, and recognized by some of the staff !!! Our room was exceptionally comfortable, updated, and couldnt ask for anything better. We ordered from the take-out menu, and where allowed to eat in the lobby by the fireplace, so that made up for the Covid restrictions, also, our server gave us REAL silverware with our meal..??Bonus Breakfast, again was a take out, and when we went to pick it up Merick, Greeted us with such Gusto, He said it was so nice to see a Regular Customer, Thank You Merick !!

Shockingly Bad experience. Be very weary of booking here.

golfergirl2020 08/10/2020 TripAdvisor review

Our rooms were dank and outdated. We spent 80$ on dinner one night and received uncooked, cold French fries and stale corn chips that quite literally tasted like cardboard. The entire meal was inedible. We wanted to get a refund but the restaurant was closed. Our shower leaked buckets of water every time we showered and we had to clean the floors each time we used it. On top of that we had to pay huge amounts of money to park our rental car on the premises. Pretty shocking experience considering how nice the photos looked online. Hugely regret staying here.

TripAdvisor rating 4.0/5

Adventurer713516 07/10/2020 TripAdvisor review

I enjoyed every minute of my stay in this beautiful, well located hotel. The thing is I was allocated my first night in room 321 and next to us there is a man who from what I was told by the hotel, leaves there.... sings, has people over, speaks LOUD. I had to change room at 1h am since the man never SHUT UP!!! He had women and men over, they were arguing, talking from 8hpm until 7ham. I had to leave my friend in the room since she does mind the noise. Staff was very nice and helpful and changing us room even at 1h am. Now I can laugh about it but then I was not!. Very clean, safe, I will go back there .

Good hotel

Noem-N7 11/08/2020 TripAdvisor review

We choose this hotel because we got a promotional price, the room was very modern and nice but the hallways and reception need an update. The room seemed clean however we found an old gum stuck to the bed’s headboard. The lightning behind the bed headboard was also burned out. We noticed a funny smell as soon as we entered in the hotel but it was a good experience overall. A bit pricy if you have to pay regular price in my opinion

Great stay

hughhs2020 Business - 07/08/2020 TripAdvisor review

Upon check-in, I received two bottles of water, gratis. That is a nice touch! Room was clean, quiet and modern with nice furniture including a couch. There was a quiet fridge as well as a housecoat with slippers and toiletries. Note: the coconut soap didn’t agree with my skin as it started to peel. I was on the south side (stare across to other building). Bed was comfortable and central air made all the difference in terms of getting an undisturbed sleep and having a comfortable temperature in the room. Note: If your hotel uses air conditioners in the windows it can be noisy enough to disturb your sleep. Novotel has sealed windows and central air. I stayed in August, which was a good time because the hotel was not busy and their restaurant was open. Novotel staff accommodated my requests for food from their restaurant and packages being delivered to my door during self-isolation. I appreciate it that they did not charge extra for this service. The restaurant’s fish and chips were good. I would recommend this hotel and would consider staying their again. As well, the location is superb with the restaurants, shops, downtown core and Harbour Front within a short walking distance.

Great Location for Safe Summer Getaway

TripAdvisor rating 4.0/5

d0nnaachim0v Business - 28/07/2020 TripAdvisor review

The Novtel is located in the St. Lawrence Market district and is a great place for walking around downtown Toronto. The staff are welcoming and friendly. The only consideration is that they should advise at check-in that the rooms will NOT be cleaned for the duration of your stay unless you stay longer than 4 days. Their COVID cleaning only kicks in after a 4 day stay which means your garbage is not emptied (unless you leave it outside your door) nor will you get fresh towels, unless you go to reception to request them. None of this is a problem but it would have been nice to know at check-in to manage the stay.

Four night Stay

JohnCherry 28/03/2020 TripAdvisor review

We arrived from the UK at about 15:00 and had a good sized room on the 6th floor at the front. In the evening there was a little noise from outside as there are bars and eateries opposite but no problems. The beds were comfortable, the bathroom well equipped, the staff helpful and at breakfast there was a good choice of food every day. And good coffee. I would stay there again if we returned to Toronto which is a great modern city with plenty to see as well as Niagara Falls being a couple of hours away.

Dear John, We very much appreciate your comments regarding your stay at the Novotel Toronto Centre. It is always a pleasure to receive positive feedback. I will share your comments with our team. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we hope your next visit will be as pleasant as the previous one. Sincerely, Marina - Dir. of Room

The room is nicely decorated and I love the nice big shower and soft towels. The bed was very comfortable and it was very quiet too. The tv in the room was huge. We enjoyed the coffee too. Also great location close to the train station and shopping downtown.

It was interesting since it was the weekend everything started closing due to Covid -19. The hotel was stylish and very convenient but Toronto was shutting down making it hard to enjoy.

Uta S. Families - 22/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

A very lovely hotel situated in a touristy area within easy distances to many local attractions all within walking distances. Aquarium, CNN tower, lots of good restaurants, St. Lawrence Market and Antique Market..... A marble modern bathroom which was very clean and well stocked with towels..... liked the European bedcover touch (no heavy bedspreads) and enclosed large artsy wall with the built-in TV. Well done.

A+
