The hotel is clean and in a good location in the city. The room I had on the 1st floor had been renovated (not fully) since I last stayed and featured a Queen size bed that was comfortable, flat screen TV a desk etc. The bathroom was a little tired and there were a few stains on the carpet.

Our experience at this hotel started with a 20 minute wait in a line up of cars all wanting to enter the hotel driveway to check in and use the hotel valet service. With the circular drive already full of parked and running cars, no on street parking available, no idea where the hotel parking might be and no staff... More

Dear Mel. Thank you so much for your feedback on the check in on Friday last week. I am very sorry that the arrival at the hotel was not what you could expect. That Friday it seemed that all guests were coming at the same time and therefor we had cars backed up on the street. Glad to see that... More

I felt the bathrooms very small and need to be upgraded... Shower over bath with tap behind glass water shield really hard to get to the tap and turn it on.. Separate shower would have given 100% rating..

An absolutely ideal location right in the center of the CBD and very close to the cassino if that is your place to make money. My only comment is the breakfast needs a revamp as far as selection goes when I compare this location with other Novotel locations. The staff are brilliant - friendly, helpful, as a guest I could...

Amazing place, no major views unless you get room 146,246,346 or 446 which is a corner view of the whole city. You have to pay to use the street carparks, you have to pay for internet and you have to pay for food delivery!

Dear Guest. Thank you for your comments in regards to your stay with us. Unfortunately we charge for valet parking, room service and internet usage, as most other hotels do. I apologize if this was not explained to you properly upon your check in. Best regards, Dick Breukink, General Manager, Novotel Tainui Hamilton. More

I was disappointed with the Novotel. When I first made contact I was quoted $180 for a room, which is on the high side but the location really suited. However, I was actually charged $199 for the room and then charged an extra $15 to park my car (outside on the street). This is Hamilton not Auckland, why is a... More

Great Hotel, good location in the centre of Hamiton . Exceeded all expectations . Rooms were nice, clean with everything you need. We will definately will be staying again. I liked the Decor in the rooms, it was not plain nopr over done . The bathroom was not dated and i really like the extra seats/louger in the room.

A good hotel in a great location. Right in the middle of the Hamilton City Centre with a nice walk along the Waikato River just at the back of the hotel. Initial check in service was somewhat detached and impersonal but it was a busy weekend with the Armageddon Expo in town. Bit peeved that I wasn't made aware of... More

We recently stayed here with family whilst traveling through Hamilton. The hotel was very accommodating and we enjoyed our stay here. The facilities were standard for a hotel of this class - comfortable and inviting.
