Raelene W. Families - 15/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

The staff were brilliant and treated us very well. However, I rang the reservation team to book the hotel as we were coming to New Plymouth for a funeral, it took two day for someone to get back to me, as an Accor member I was not happy with the late response.

Kia Ora Raelene, Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at the Novotel New Plymouth. We are thrilled to hear our staff looked after you during your stay. I am sorry that your booking experience did not meet our usual expectations; please allow me to express my sincerest apologies.

Everything was perfect exceptthe shower was cold on the morning that I vacated the hotel.

Kia Ora Duncan, We very much appreciate your comments regarding your stay at the Novotel New Plymouth Hobson. It is great to hear you enjoyed your room and facilities overall. I am sorry to hear you did not have hot water in the morning of your stay. It appears we had a boiler malfunction that particular morning, our electricians were called and immediately started working on this. We do apologise for the inconvenience caused during your stay and do hope our staff were of some assistance during this malfunction. We appreciate your sharing your feedback, and do hope you return to our hotel in the future. Kind Regards, Sarah Toon Marketing / F&B Manager Phone : +6… fb…

Spacious room, modern hotel close to city centre

Curt203 13/03/2020 TripAdvisor review

We enjoyed our brief one night stay in a spacious room, and our dinner in the restaurant downstairs was very good. Staff were friendly, helpful and efficient. Easy parking undercover with direct access to the lift was also useful. The only annoying thing -- on checkout I was asked if we had used the mini-bar and I replied that we had not (as we never use these on trips ever!) Upon arriving home a separate charge for a mini-bar item was made on my credit card which of course I had not approved. Obviously I am not going to complain about an incorrect $4 charge, but it is frustrating to be charged after departure. Over the years this has happened to me many times worldwide. Too bad we cannot ask for a lock to be put on the mini-bar door if we know we are not going to use it or even better, have the items removed on arrival and allow us to use the refrigerator for our water!

Kia Ora, Thank you very much for taking the time to review our hotel. We very much appreciate your comments and I'm pleased to hear you had an enjoyable stay with us. It is always a pleasure to receive positive feedback and I will be sure to share your comments with our team. I am terribly sorry to hear there was some confusion over your mini bar and bill. I will be sure to look into this to make sure we avoid this happening in the future. We do regularly receive requests for mini bar to be taken from the fridges, so please don't hesitate to call reception and request this, if you are ever staying with us again. Thank you again for your feedback, if you are ever in the region again, we would love the opportunity to welcome you back to our hotel. Kind regards, Sarah Toon Marketing Manager

Comfortable and quiet.
