Not Worth the Price – Disappointing Stay
We stayed at Novotel for 7 nights in a “Deluxe Sea View” room on Level 18. The view was okay, but there was nothing deluxe about the room—just laminated flooring. Definitely not worth the extra cost.
The hotel overall is very dated and in desperate need of an upgrade. It’s marketed as 4-star, but aside from the location, it’s more like a 3-star property.
Noise from nearby nightclubs was a big issue—music blasted until 4 AM. After a few sleepless nights, we requested a move and were placed on Level 35, which was quieter, but the room was still tired and outdated.
We were also disappointed to learn (only 3 days before departure) that the pool was closed during the day for renovations. If we had known earlier, we would’ve booked elsewhere.
The included breakfast was not great—everything was Luke-warm at best - limited options and not worth the price. There are plenty of great cafes along the waterfront just a short walk away, offering much better food and value.
On a positive note, the staff were excellent—friendly, helpful, and professional. They’re doing their best and really holding the hotel’s reputation together
It’s unlikely we’d stay here again
