Nothing to say. Everything went very well. Nice breakfast. Good location. Spacious and clean rooms. The fitness room is a plus too. Altough I had forgotten my gear, I defenitely plan on goign for a run on my next visit to Le Havre. Perfect price-quality equation.

We decide to spend the afternoon and night in Le Havre (on our way back to the UK from the Vendee) and booked the Novotel because they are always reliable. I also did not know Le Havre having only driven through it from the ferry before; both did not disappoint. Arrived outside the hotel and immediately got sent to the adjacent 'Parking de la Gare' (don't be frightened by the charges as the hotel has an arrangement, so pay at reception not in the machines). Reception staff were helpful and had followed my email request to have adjacent rooms for us and our children. After checking out the rooms (exactly as one expects in a Novotel, including the international TV channels that a previous reviewer bizarrely could not find???!) a helpful receptionist suggested we explore the new shopping mall opened in the former dock warehouses opposite. Loads of shops, art exhibits, restaurants (including a Japanese but we ended up with pizza to suit the children), play areas and even a cinema. We even went back the next morning before catching the ferry. Did not eat in the hotel but did have a nightcap in the bar. Excellent staff, great hotel and we had a fun time in Le Havre. The latter is not as beautiful as some of the French coastal towns but has an interesting maritime history and we were lucky enough to see the enormous Cunard ship Queen Elizabeth in dock.

The location of this hotel cannot be any better although it hasn't got its own car park we were given a discounted 4euro for 24hr parking rate which is not bad. I advise that you park in front of the hotel and quickly drop your luggage before parking if you have a lot of luggages. The reception was a little bit too dark for me not enough natural light. The ambiance is nice. The check in was warm and fast. We were allocated 2 connecting as we requested as we requested but I only booked this hotel because I had no other option as there website does not indicate they have connecting rooms but I still went on to request one and I found out to my surprise that they do them. The rooms were clean and I enjoyed the power shower . we had a safe and minibar in the rooms. the corridors to the rooms is a good architechural piece. The railway station and coach station is just next door. We also enjoyed the free wifi and my son also liked the x box in the lobby. I would have expected the sofabed to be prepared in advance but I found that this was the norm in 2 novotels we stayed during our travel round France.

This place is nicely located and just a short walk from the shops ( they are opposite) and the restaurants are about a 10 minute walk up the road- you can drive and it is probably easier if you have kids. The restaurants all round this place are nice and cater for vegetarians too. the hotel itself is clean and the receptionists are very helpful. We initially had a problem with the first room but they swiftly located us to another one without any fuss at all. I wouldn't stay more than a couple of days here though but it is good a s a stop over.
