This is not a 5 star hotel you would expect. The room is very small and amenities are not impressive. The fridge is very small and you cannot store anything. The room looked clean at a glance but the furnitures like table and desk, lamps are covered by dust, so I had to turn on fan all the time even though it was chilly. The staff was very friendly though.

I deeply regret to express my profound disappointment with my recent stay at Novotel. As someone who held high expectations regarding the quality of service I would receive, it is disheartening to acknowledge that my experience fell far short of these anticipated standards. Regrettably, the staff at Novotel demonstrated a propensity to fulfill only the bare minimum requirements, lacking the commitment to go the extra mile in order to create a truly memorable stay. One particular incident that further compounded my dissatisfaction was the lackluster response to my complaint regarding the cleanliness of my room during my stay. Despite bringing this matter to the attention of the staff, their reaction was minimal at best, showing little concern for rectifying the issue or addressing my concerns. Such indifference not only failed to meet the expected level of service but also left a lasting negative impression. Furthermore, a fundamental element of a truly memorable experience lies in the strength of the concierge team, whose responsibility it is to provide valuable recommendations and actively search for options that suit the needs and preferences of guests. Astonishingly, at Novotel, the default response from the concierge team seemed to be an unhelpful "I don't know," with little to no interest displayed in delving deeper or proactively assisting guests in their inquiries. This lack of engagement further undermined the potential for an enriching and personalized stay.

Pros: Room was clean, amenities were nice. Washing machine and plates in the residences was nice too. Gym was adequate. Cons: Was not aware that residences are not eligible for upgrade (not stated anywhere), staff were not friendly (especially so during check in). Pool was sad, felt more like a 4star than 5.
