Stay was ok, Room was nice with a nice veiw of the lake. We had to wait over an hour to check in, our check in time was 2pm but the room wasn’t ready until after 3. This was frustrating as it was pouring with rain outside and we were waiting with kids. Probably wouldn’t stay here again because of that.

Thank you so much for an amazing stay! This property was clean, the bed was comfy, and it is in such a great location - very walkable and close to all the main transportation. The only downside was that the heater in my room didn’t work - however, maintenance was very prompt in attempting to fix this! Whilst it was cold in the room, the sheets were very warm and perfect for the winter season. I’ll definitely want to stay with Novotel again!
