Lovely helpful and friendly staff. Rooms were clean and spacious. Great location with walking distancenof the train station and city centre. Would highly recommend
Excellent hotel. Comfortable rooms and great showers. My one small gripe is that it would have been great if the fridge in the room had water in it - even a bottle of tap water!
A nice comfy hotel with good looking reception and dinning areas. I enjoyed my night there. Had breakfast in the morning and it was lovely. Only downside is I requested my receipt by email and left my details @ reception but didn’t receive it as promised.

Staff were extremely friendly and helpful nd the hotel is perfectly located
The hotel was superb and the biggest choice of breakfast i think i have ever seen. The rooms are fresh and the bar area and reception are spacious.
We had a really pleasant stay
Great location, walking distance to train station and downtown shopping/restaurants. The service was great and the breakfast was good. The hotel seems to be in the process of renovating. Our room was comfortable though the mattress was a bit hard for my taste. Slept very well though.
Novotel is a lovely hotel, Lovely & helpful staff, very clean and a nice feel, we will be coming back for sure fairly soon. More areas to visit. I would give this hotel 10\10 and we rarely give that score.... Mr & Mrs Reed....Thank you Novotel.
Room was really nice clean spacious with a fridge very comfortable bed. Only downside was the awful smell from the bathroom drains.
Staff were great and breakfast was excellent
