The hotel was nice , communal changing area for the gym and pool could have been cleaner, shower cream dispenser didn’t pump . The towel rail in the bedroom was unplugged so we had fresh towels everyday which wouldn’t have been necessary if the towel rail worked because I didn’t want to use a damp towel. Bed was comfy, room quiet, staff friendly. Would stay here again

Room was spacious and quiet. Breakfast buffet was good and plentiful. Gym was good and pool, spa and sauna was probably the best aspect. Overall it looked a little tired in places and felt like some areas could do with a deep clean.

Check in was a poor experience - ignored until the staff member completed her task on the computer and then there seemed to be some communication/language barriers?. Paying £10 for parking was another negative. Positives- Rooms were clean and spacious and quiet

About a 15 minute walk to the stadium and a 10 minute walk to the centre itself. The hotel is your standard big chain affair. The restaurant was nice and reasonably priced. The room was very clean and spacious though there was a strong smell of bleach when we entered, which I guess shows that it was clean. The main issue was the lack of hot water in the morning and the fact the staff did nothing about it apart from directing me to Expedia. Expedia were then saying they couldn’t get the hotel to engage with them about the issue. Lesson learnt, don’t stay at Novotel in the future.
