Dear Buzzstar18 Great to hear you enjoyed the Hotel and your stay. It is a shame that if you were not happy with the allocation of your room that you did not let us know as I am sure that the Duty Manager would have been happy to move you to a more suitable room. It is disappointing when some... More

We stayed three nights for our honeymoon in the Novotel, in the Superior room. The room was well presented and very tidy, the bed very comfortable. The bath was a bit small for our liking, but the Spa was available most times and we could just use that. The shower seemed to shoot very hot water at random times which... More

Good service in general excepting for the diner . Staff should be a bit more present in the room not just disappearing and then you have to wait to asked for a drink or ordering. As well not very smiley staff!! Not lot of choice concerning the menu in the evening quite poor I will say.

The location is all this hotel has to offer under present management.
