I had a great time at the hotel! The rooms, while a little dated, were clean and comfortable, and the staff went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable. The location was fantastic, close to the city center, and the dining experience, although a bit pricey, offered good value for the buffet. The facilities were great, especially the pool area.

The hotel had both positive and negative aspects. While the room allocated to me was clean and up to standard, I was disappointed to find long strands of hair in the bathroom. The service was exceptional with well-trained and friendly staff, although the room seemed a bit dated. The location was great, central, and close to many local tourist attractions, yet cleanliness due to bats dropping was a concern. The dining experience was okay but lacked variety. Overall, a mix of good and not-so-good experiences.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On the positive side, the service staff were friendly and polite. However, the room assigned to us was noisy due to its location near the road, and check-in felt disorganized as it was not ready initially. The website did not accurately represent the room we received, which was disappointing. Despite these issues, the location was convenient for exploring the area, with good access to local restaurants and shops.

My stay at the Novotel was a mixed experience. The hotel offers a convenient location within walking distance to city attractions, but there were some disruptions like noisy kids pool parties. The service was a bit hit-and-miss with helpful housecleaners but also rude staff at breakfast. While the on-site dining had its ups and downs, the rooms were well-serviced daily though the balconies were not well-maintained.
