My friend didnt have any bed sheets on his bed. We had planned to watch Netflix and use the Chromecast which wasnt working. Apparently the chromecast hadnt been working all day which we werent told when we checked in, until I went to the front desk to inform them to which the woman at the front said "oh I was hoping no one would notice." And suggested I go swimming instead. I didnt bring a swimming vostume so their solution was a trip to Primark. I was honestly gutted at the lack of solutions and they didnt seem apologetic at all. Ive stayed at 5 different Novotels and this is honestly my most di

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Staff at reception were very polite and helpful. Rooms were a decent size with everything you needed and very clean. The negative is the pool which wasn't warm and the sauna and steam rooms were very small however, for the price you pay I would definitely return. Another negative is you cannot pay with cash.

Firstly the hotel has a nice look reception staff friendly and restrurant/bar looks good too. I did eat dinner there and it was lovely I stayed in room 220. Very clean good products in bathroom . Nice to have a fridge. Bed comfy. Negatives bath an odd shape tight fit to lay down a big person would struggle. But worst was the heating . I had to put extra clothes on it was so cold . I told reception next morning and they put an electric heater in the room which helped. For a lovely hotel and the cost its not good enought and the heater will not be enough when the weather gets colder. For that reason I wont return unless this issue is fixed.
