Nice room although separate toilet was a little dark. There was drilling going on in the morning somewhere in the hotel. Breakfast was good although coffee was a bit weak, even espresso.

Not staying at Novotel again
Cheap, sinking, unsupportive mattress and too thick pillows made for a dreadful nights sleep and a very stiff neck. Loud music in reception made it impossible to communicate, especially for someone with a hearing impairment. Good pool, good food in restaurant, but got noisy in there on Sat night when live music playing in bar, so not very relaxing after 7pm.

Not for Families
In terms of hotel itself, I would say it is more like a 3* rather than a 4* hotel. Cons 1. The hotel is not for families. We had a toddler that needs warm milk before bed but there were no kitchen facilities available to provide milk. 2. The room we were offered was tiny with absolutely no free space to walk. With the sofa bed and the double bed, there was no space and the photos were very different to what we had booked. 3. The receptionists were not professional. One checking in did not mention the lifts need a key card to use. One receptionist (blonde young lady without a name card) was chatting up one of the clients for 15 mins even though she knew we were waiting. 4. The cleaners did not even change the sheet or vaccuum the carpets when we asked for the room to be cleaned. Pros 1. The hotel is conveniently located.

The property is good for a business trip, but not so convenient and easy for a family trip with a toddler. Nothing wrong with the place, just didn’t work as well as we wanted for our needs.
