    unappetizing breakfast

    The rooms were comfy, and the location was perfect for exploring the Cathedral and nearby eateries. We were especially happy with the friendly staff. Make sure to check parking availability, as it can vary a lot around the hotel.

    However, I found the breakfast could've used some improvement. the bacon looked unappetizing and the tea wasn’t great.

    helpful staff
    limited space
    non-responsive air conditioning
    family setup challenges

    The central location made it easy to explore nearby shops and restaurants. The room featured a comfortable bed and was well-suited for a short stay, though space was limited for a family setup. Breakfast was a highlight, particularly the fried oysters, but the air conditioning did not respond well to adjustments. Despite the minor issues, the staff's friendliness and willingness to assist were reassuring, enhancing the overall experience.

    tricky parking
    shower temperature

    The location was fantastic, just a short walk away from the city center and the beautiful Cathedral. I loved how clean and cozy the room was, and the heated bathroom floor was a welcome surprise! However, navigating to the parking area was a bit tricky at times, and I noticed some issues with the shower temperature during my stay. Overall, it was a great experience, especially for exploring the area with my family.

    parking issue
    shower temperature

    The location of Novotel is unbeatable, right near restaurants and the stunning cathedral. Walking to the park with my daughter was a highlight. she loved it! The staff were friendly and attentive, always ready to help. Our room was spacious, very comfortable, and the breakfast included was delicious. However, there were some issues that needed addressing. The parking situation was not ideal. it was quite limited and a little confusing to navigate. Also, some of the shower temperatures were inconsistent, which disrupted our routines. Despite these hiccups, the welcoming atmosphere made the overall experience pleasant.

    Great spot in the heart of the city!

    We just spent a night here and loved the super friendly staff. Our room was nice with a beautiful view, and it was so quiet. The breakfast setup was kinda cramped, but the food was decent. Honestly, the small bathroom situation was a bit annoying, but other than that, we had a fantastic time!

    convenient location
    loud air conditioning
    basic bathroom setup

    The scones at the hotel's restaurant were a delightful treat, paired with a brilliantly brewed coffee from nearby The Caffeine Laboratory! Staff were not just helpful but genuinely friendly, making our stay feel extra cozy. Conveniently, we were a stone's throw from Foundation, which had some killer eats too.

    The basic bathroom setup could use a bit of an upgrade—nothing major, just some polishing needed.
