Good location, and the room was a good size. The staff was attentive. The only problem we had was a clogged sink. And the nights were bad for sleeping because the air conditioning wasn't working; we had to open the window a little because of the heat, which caused mosquitoes to get in and leave us covered in bites.
Staff were extremely helpful. Breakfast was great. Location is exceptional. Pool area is lovely and atmosphere is very relaxing.

Location was great - you are so central and close to attractions, restaurant and bars. Despite this it was not noisy.
Prior to arrival , we messaged the hotel to confirm transport options from the station but no one replied .
The hotel is tired and needs more than a basic uplift . The aircon was not working in the entire building and fence it was very stuffy and humid.
We did not use any amenities as the pool is not heated and outside .
Rooms were cleaned daily and linen fresh so for the price paid and location - it was as expected.
Great location in the city centre. You can walk to the main attractions (all within a 10 minute walk). Room was clean and had no issues. Hotel has a pool and restaurant/bar which is great for relaxing. Staff was friendly and helpful when I needed to print train tickets.
Great location. Exactly where you want to be when visiting for a short trip. The room was great. The onsite parking was also great but be aware that you drive through a pedestrian zone to get there, we panicked a bit.

Good hotel, staff quite blunt but helpful. Breakfast is expensive compared to what is on offer especially for vegetarians. Great location to the city centre but rooms need updating- it feels as though you're going back 20 to 30 years in time!
When I arrived, my reservation had already been fully paid in advance. However, at check-in, I was asked to pay for the room again, which resulted in being charged twice for the same reservation. Unfortunately, the staff member who assisted me at check-in was not particularly helpful when I tried to clarify the situation.
Fortunately, at check-out, another staff member was very kind and professional. They reviewed the charges, immediately understood that the room had been paid twice, and resolved the issue by arranging a refund for the duplicate payment. I really appreciated the way they handled the situation and their excellent assistance.

Friendly staff! Appreciate their help and prompt responses as well
The location of the hotel was excellent. The beach area and swimming pool were great.
The room was clean but a bit dated. There was a lot of noise on the Saturday night coming from people in the streets outside which made it difficult to sleep. It was quieter on the other nights.
The handle on the room door was broken and kept falling off, this made it very difficult to close the door. We mentioned this to the staff on reception a couple of times, hoping it would be sorted but they didn’t do anything.
I was staying for a meeting and the arrangements for that were very good.
Friendly staff, large room, right in the city centre. Pedestrian area at the front but taxis can access. Don't be put off by the decaying Novotel sign, the building has been refurbished.
