2 out of 5

Novotel are not what they used to be

Pros: reasonably close to city centre
Cons: as above
Front counter staff short and unfriendly on arrival (noon) "check in is 2", there was no "I will see if your room is ready". Room amenities eg tea/coffee, pillows, loo paper etc of poorer quality and very minimal. no morning newspapers offered or available. Obviously become a more budget hotel. Had doof music for most of Friday night keeping us awake from very close nearby.
