Very nicely run hotel. Close to the beach. Very clean with very helpful staff. One issue a few people had was the glass door from gym and spa was left open sometimes and people including me got stuck in the wrong lifts. This door should be kept shut with card access only for the residential side.

Wasn't expecting two single beds pushed together when I paid for a king size and finding somewhere to park that wasn't illegal so we could check in was a bit challenging but once we got that sorted it seemed to be relatively easy. Clean and tidy and a short stroll to the beach. Can hear nightclub music on the weekend though.

Great staffing and beautiful hotel

Would have scored a 10, however the fire alarms went off in the morning, and we had to scurry into the courtyard...in pyjamas awaiting further instructions. There were no signs how to evacuate from the internal courtyard to the side of the main building.

Before our trip I received an email stating that Novotel had increased it's cleaning. On our arrival you could see that the room had been cleaned at some stage but not recenlty as there was dust on furniture. After 2pm on the Saturday we had to ask if they were going to do our room! This was done but very roughly, the bed to sleep in that night was was uncomfortable, the bathroom was also a hit and a miss. As an Accor Member I wasn't treated in the way I had in other Hotels. The location was great and the staff were very friendly and helpful. For the cost on my stay I expected better.

Love the staff

Staff are awesome and always friendly. Unfortunately my dinner - room service was forgotten but the staff were great in following up and only charging me 50% which was a nice gesture.

The staff were all friendly, good location. but the food at the restaurant was well below par. Order garlic chilli prawn with pasta, could not eat it, the pasta was cold and look like it had been in the pan for a few days, even with and knife and fork could not cut it, the olives on the dish had so many flavours it was disgusting, husband had the veal which was not good either. We have eaten at other Novotel establishments and the food has been great very disappointed with that aspect. Also received and cheese plater in the room which was nice but there were no implements to cut the cheese.

Fine- advertised price on website when I booked wasn’t what it was when I paid. It was advertised at approx $330 per night but the actual breakdown was $220ish for the Friday night and $420ish for the Saturday

Katherine Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

Overall quite nice stay. Rudely awakened at 7am on Saturday morning by staff member phoning through to room, who didn't identify themselves and asked (with an accusatory tone) how many adults were staying in my room. Turns out she meant to call room 308 rather than 302. Could have been handled better. Staff at breakfast on the other hand were delightful.

I have taken appropriate measures to address the problem and this should prevent future reoccurrence. We appreciate your sharing your concerns, and it is our hope that you will give us the opportunity to better serve you in the near future. Sincerely, Abdallah El-Ghozze Front Office Manager

Breakfast was Terrible

Customer review rating 0.5/5

Anonymous Friends - Confirmed reviews ALL

From the beginning they charged a group booking more expensive than online so we had to negotiate the price. Melanie who organised the rooms was lovely. From there it was all downhill the breakfast was a none event, no food, cutlery, cereal, coffee, bread it was an embarrassment for the 14 rooms we had booked for a breakfast after the wedding the previous evening. Two people in the breakfast area so people from the front office were coming to empty the dirty tables. Guests continued to bring in coffee and food from the café next door as none was available from the hotel. The experience was a embarrassment from the moment we arrived for breakfast with no apology to any guest or the people who came into the hotel to meet for breakfast. Being an Accor Gold member we supported Accor, no points were credited to our account.

In difficult times for the hospitality sector with staffing etc this hotel's management has managed to excell. Service was exceptional at this ideally situated hotel, close to surf and the top end of town.

Andrew B. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

Pretty Poor. No room servicing , no bed making, no fresh towels. Breakfast on first day was cold so we went elsewhere on following days. The coffee machine was out of order. We were told to find a table which had no utensils, and it remained like that for 10 minutes before I got up and went to the serving kitchen entry area and requested 2 settings. A glass of shiraz cost $12. Medalions of veal for my only dinner there were tough and tasteless. As for hygiene, the hand sanitiser container in general foyer was empty for the nights we stayed there. There was no internet for the first day. Didn't bother with it after that. A very disappointing experience. Worst for the many years of being an Accor member.

Charged for parking which was not available

mattheyburgh TripAdvisor review

I was charged $25 for parking which was not available and had to park my car on the street. I approached the duty manager to make a complaint and was advised that parking is not guaranteed and that i had not been charged for parking (I had).I wrote to Novotel requesting a refund and did not receive a response. Not impressed.
