Room was clean, view was lovely. The attitude of all except two of the staff was below hospitality standard. Lack of friendliness, interest in the guest, no bend over backwards approach. I have run many hospitality venues, from restaurants to having the directorship of an island resort in the Pacific and to me the only ingredient missing from your hotel is engagement with the guest, a smile, a how are you, an interest in the person in front of them. The only person I encountered who was truly hospitable was a young male barman.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
My husband and I have been staying at Novotel north beach for over 25 years and I have never had a more disappointing stay. Everything from the check in to the price of parking, the breakfast, to the filthy glass on the balcony, the entrance steps alone are putrid. I request late check out at 12 and at 11 two women bash on my door asking when I am leaving... at 12 as requested! I think the current GM is doing a horrible job, the past two GM's, Walter and Steve kept it beautiful and treated the guests with care and kindness, made you feel special but nothing is the same as it was, Novotel is nothing special anymore. I think it's time for us to find a new place to stay in the gong!

Location was perfect. Easy quick check in, room was clean, comfortable soft bed, the bathroom was old with stained bath and basin, floor tiles were dated and found hair from previous guests. Used the heated pool at night, it wasn’t that clean, a greasy layer was floating on top of the pool. In my opinion the hotel deserves a 3* however the buffet breakfast was very poor. Too many guests for the amount of food served. I literally couldn’t find any eggs, also no pastries, most of the plates were empty and for a long time. People were looking for places to sit. It was 8am on a Saturday the restaurant was full. Will I visit again maybe but for sure I won’t purchase breakfast included.

Staff were courteous and faculties are kept clean though a bit dated. We appreciated having beds made every day and all supplies topped up as needed. The room could use an update to smart TVs. Buffet breakfast spread was decent but the dinner a la carte menu was overpriced for the choices and portions. We were unfortunate to have a very noisy and inconsiderate neighbours so we barely slept last two nights with their yelling at each other, kids screaming and doors slamming well past 2am. The hotel security promptly addressed them after we reported the issue to the hotel reception on the second night which helped a bit. All staff were lovely and attentive.
