The hotel is not in a bad spot has a clean appearance from the outside, with an impressive reception and bar area. We got to our over priced room and the disappointment began. The room was clean and the first thing I wanted was a cup of tea, which at Novotel means if your in a double room you only need 2 tea bags, 2 sachets of white sugar and 4 pots of UHT milk.
The seperate toilet is a wonderful gesture, but why make it look like something out of a 1960's tower block? Glad we always take our own toilet paper with us because the quality used at this Novotel would leave you itching for days, it looked like bleached loft insulation.
£65 quid a night and they have the cheek to charge you £3 quid to use the car park!!!!!
Breakfast £13.95 per person........they are having a laugh, Moon Under The Water Restraunt around the corner £2.20 for full English £3.97 for an extra large!
First and last time at a Novotel, not impressed felt robbed. :(

Very easy check in with welcoming attentive staff explaining the drill for breakfast, meals, room service etc. Asked if we would like to open a tab or pay as you go, which we chose. Many services offered such as wake up calls, newspapers delivered to your door etc.

The hotel itself is in an excellent location for accessing the city centre ( a few minutes walk away ), the bus and train station are literally on the hotel doorstep.

Rooms are modern and light with internet tv, tea coffee facilities, mini bar, huge power shower and clean comfortable beds. Also an iron and ironing board.

Would highly recommend.

Stayed 2 nights on a business trip. Rooms are large and modern. Separate toilet from shower and sink which made me smile but apparently Novotel always do this. The bed was a foam mattress and was very comfortable - also very large. Reception staff were excellent as were those in the breakfast room. Lots of choice at breakfast. My preference is always the full english and wasn't disappointed. There was also plenty of fruit, cereals, pastries etc. Stayed here due to recommendations from Tripadvisor and am glad I chose this one and recommended it to 5 colleagues who were also working away with me- Phew!

Stayed here whilst on a two day course with work so we were all booked in on a delegate rate to include room, breakfast lunch and evening dinner. I have never stayed in a Novotel before and I wasn't expecting a lot, however I was very pleasently surprised with the dinner menu which contained a nice choice of starters and mains which were very good indeed!

Standard rooms are very clean but quite basic, almost clinical and not very homely, but that's my own personal taste.

The bar area is typical hotel chain and not the sort of place you would want to stay in all night especially as the choice of draught beers and lagers is very limited. The price if a pint of Carling stands at £3.75 whilst Guiness is a whopping £4.20!

I would stay here again on business but not out of choice on a personal basis.
