Nice Hotel in NYC

Pros: Everyone of the staff I came in contact with was exceptional, from checking in, then the bar/restaurant service was simply 5 star.
Cons: Not much to do about room size so no recommendation.
Location: Easy walk to Rockefeller Center, Radio City and center of Times Square.
The room was smaller than I had expected for what I paid, I just checked the current pricing and was amazed how the rate had been discounted 25% which is more in line with the room I had. However the staff was 5 star. Therefore I would recommend Novetel.

Where's my coffee maker?

Rooms were nice. Beds very comfortable. Bathroom showers needed more shelves to put items during showering.Great view of Times Square for the extra money! But where is my coffee maker?????

Couldn't ask for a better location!

Pros: The location was, of course, the best part. The hotel staff super nice and helpful. Very modern hotel that was just cool to stay in. Great views!
Cons: The DJ with the party music was on the outdoor area right below our room. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't pleasant either.
Location: Everything is nearby! You can walk to so many things if you are inclined. From shopping to food to Central Park... it is right at your fingertips.
Ian started it off right with a quick check in and great local information. Hotel was very clean and comfortable. Our room on the 17th floor faced away from great views, but it was still nice. On our first night the light behind the mirror in the bathroom went out, but our housekeeper took care of it and even flagged us down in the hall to make sure it was working okay the next day (I wished I'd gotten her name!). It was odd that the lobby was actually on the 7th floor, but this actually made things feel really safe. Amazing views off the outdoor terrace. There was always a positive energy in the hotel that was great. They have a great bar...with pricey drinks. The restaurant was small but looked nice since we didn't eat there. The breakfast buffet looked great each day too, but we just couldn't justify the price tag of nearly $30 each. We opted for some great nearby bagels and coffee. All in all this was a great choice for us though that i would make again without hesitation!

Nice hotel w/ great location!

Pros: Location, location, location!
Cons: Bathroom shower could be cleaned better.
Location: Walking distance to many shops, restaurants, Broadway shows, Times Square, subway stations & more!
Recently stayed 2 nights. Picked location based on proximity to Broadway shows and was not disappointed. Easy walking distance to shows, Times Square, shopping, restaurants, subway stations, etc. Staff was friendly & efficient. Only possible complaint was that bathroom shower looked like it could be cleaned a bit. I would definitely recommend this hotel & will most likely stay there again on my next visit to NYC.

Modern, Clean, Spacious

Pros: Clean, fresh, friendly staff. Nice bar & dining area. Has a great vibe.
Cons: Sink in the bathroom is small & you get a lot of splash back on your clothes.
Location: It's near Times Square - there's anything to do - people watch, shop, dine, drink, sit & rest. It's the BEST.
This is the second time I have stayed at Novotel at Times Square. I liked the first stay so much. The hotel is really hip & modern. The lobby area on the second floor is connected to the big area where the bar, restaurant area is & you get a really nice vibe when you enter. The staff is very friendly & aways available. Our rooms were clean & fresh each visit. The sink in the bathroom is a bit small & splash back is big. I like that there is a shower & tub. The carpet in the rooms were fresh not dingy. The windows had CLEAR views & we had a great view of Times Square. The beds were comfortable & the outer duvet was clean & fresh not just fluffed up from another guest. I appreciate that. I can't say anything bad about our two different stays at Novotel. I would recommend highly. Our price was very reasonable for December 2016 March 2017!

Only place I would ever stay in NYC

First for starters as soon as you arrive you a greated by the door/ luggage men and they all every single day were super nice and helpful and gave good recommendations exp Juan he was awesome! Another awesome thing is I booked the room for the wrong starting day so I needed a extra night, the hotel was sold out but rather then just tell me that they helped me find a hotel close by for the night. Once we checked in the front desk staff was nice and the room was a great size with a great view of time square. Everything was super clean and nice and modern. We wish we got to enjoy the our door patio bar area but it was a little to cold. This will be THE only hotel my wife and I will stay at when we are in NYC!!

Centrally located but problems

Pros: Central location
Cons: Need better lighting in bathroom & elevator & lobby.
Location: Walked over to the Applejack Diner which had great food & service. Walked to Carnegie Hall for a concert.
When we first checked in, the clerk failed to inform us that the room key is required to select our floor in the elevator. We found that out from another group of guests who also were forced to learn this on their own. The room itself was dimly lit and chilly. Even though we set the room’s thermometer to 76 (the maximum) the room remained colder than the hallway. The bathroom’s lighting was terrible. It was difficult to see anything properly in the bathroom. No top sheet on the bed! Just a comforter. Unable to get a good night’s sleep with the comforter. The amenities were lacking - no coffee maker and no Wi-Fi. Given all the issues with this hotel, we do not plan to stay at a Novotel again.

Great hotel in Times Square

Pros: The room was comfortable, the staff was friendly, it was a close walk to Times Square and Rockefeller Center.
Cons: Lighting in the bathroom - it's too dark as is.
Location: Juniors Restaurant had great food. Their cheesecake was my favorite. Drug store next hotel - very convenient to buy bottled water, etc.
We stayed at the Novotel for three nights in December. All of the staff were very nice and helpful when we needed anything. There was a big variety of foods on the breakfast buffet and it was all delicious. Our room was a little small compared to others we've stayed in, but the layout was great and there was still plenty of room. If I have one complaint - the bathroom is too dark and could benefit from more lighting.

Great stay!

We stayed at the Novotel from sept 26-October 1. We show up 3hrs prior to check in and they were able to accommodate an early checkin which was great. The hotel is in a great location, only a few blocks from time square. The room was clean, quiet and comfortable. The buffet breakfast was excellent, great selection of breakfast items. The view In restaurant was great, you can see time square. I would definitely go back and recommend the hotel.
