A 'decent' hotel in a great area. For the reasonably low price, I wasn't expecting much, and that's exactly what we got. The room was clean and quiet. The breakfast was quite good too. A number of very small disappointments: No bottle opener in room; accidentally charged too much; wasn't given All points because didn't book with the app; Accor's famous honeycomb was covered in a way that made it difficult to access; coffee machine not functioning. Not bad at all, but not great. Worth the price!

We have stayed at Novotel many times over the years however the state of the hotel for this stay was horrible. Dirty socks from previous guest left in our room, beds were so uncomfortable where the four of us had no sleep for two nights, the pillows were flat and old, the carpets were worn out and dirty. Cleaner came on second day and only fixed beds. Did not clean the room. The bathroom had no soap or body wash and only shampoo and conditioner. There was no parking available for guests so we had to park a few blocks away and lug our luggage through Canberra streets. The pool was not clean nor heated. Very bad experience this time around z we won’t be staying there again.

We walked into our room to a bandaid in the bathroom only to them discover our balcony door didn’t lock (with 2 young children with us). We got moved to another room. Rooms were out dated and basic. Bedding average with uncomfortable pillows. The included breakfast was decent however managed to score myself a cup covered in lipstick so not washed properly. The pool are was was good. Despite the drama the staff was friendly and apologetic but I expect a lot more when I’m paying what I did for the Novotel brand. Over priced for the experience we had.
