“Great position, great for a family”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2011

Good location and easy walk into Vieux Port. Great views from restaurant and breakfast area. The rooms are a good size for a family of four. If you want a view you will need to pay for one. Otherwise it is views over back of park,parking area and dumpsters. Superb swimming pool area, which gets really crowded in summer.

Room Tip: Pay for a room with a view of Vieux Port

good location close to the vieux port, decent rooms with all necessary equipment.
Best of all: very nice spa (shared with the sofitel).

“Good value, good location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 October 2011

Hotel is located with a view to Old Port (hence the name Vieux Port). The Novotel rooms does however not have view over the Port, this is exclusively to the adjacent Sofitel.
Rooms are ok, but old. Bathrooms are functional, but needs a revamp.
Hotel does share pool and restaurants with the more expensive and exclusive Sofitel. Nice pool area.
Nice lobby bar with extremely slow service.
Very good restaurant at the terrace just outside the lobby (with port view).
Limited English spoken by front-desk staff.

this i a part of the former sofitel hotel.
but the older part and anyone can see it .
dirty carpets all over , missing paitings at the walls , elevators who work only when they want,an car park which is designed for bicicles but not for cars.
in my room i could not even count the spots on the carpet.as said the paitings at the wall have seen better times , i asked for another romm but - fully booked !!!
A N D
last but not least :
inpolite , incompetend and unfriedly staff.
fortunatly i have seen the bugs only at the last day .
i love annimals , but not in my hotel rooms .
for me it is clear : SABENA ( such a bad experience , never again )

Was disappointed with room> Granted hotel was fully booked, but should have had transparency in offering the room by describing it properly. as room was on groiund floor the view was of driveway and mainentrance. please advise customers before assigning them to room.
