Great hotel but beware of the Peep show shower!

FranC706 Families - 9/29/2024 TripAdvisor review

We had two nights here Friday and Saturday. A room for three female adults. The hitel staff were welcoming. We were in Room 606 we had one king size bed and a sofa bed. Bedroom was a reasonable size with a sofa bed. Clean with towels for three, plenty of water povided a very generous six small glass bottle were in the fridge. The hotel is in a good location though we did use Ubers as we were tired. Took ourselves to Covent Garden on Friday for dinner and then drinks later. On Saturday we headed to Stratford for ABBA voyage easy journey from Southwark. Back to the hotel a quick swim pleasant pool hot tub is chilly as the water feeds in from the pool. Out again and onto Pig and Butcher in Islington by Uber. A couple of drinks in the hotel bar and bed. We didn't bother with breakfast but swam again Sunday morning. Only gripe with the room is the shower you can see a silhouette but if you turn on the light button in the shower you can see pretty much everything. A warning would be good! Despite that a great hotel.

Lacking the protocols of a modern hotel

Clive B. Families - 9/26/2024 Confirmed reviews ALL

This hotel does not understand the concept of a credit card deposit to allow for in hotel expenditure. This hotel has not trained its staff to expect chargeback to one’s room. This hotel has rude breakfast staff. This hotel does not train its staff to recognise or acknowledge the Accor Loyalty programme.

Well located but improvements are needed

Manuel Families - 9/25/2024 Confirmed reviews ALL

The hotel is well located and almost everything is nice but in missing some features such as being a 4 starts hotel still having bathtub instead of a shower tray. Also, I other Novotel hotels (koln, Lisbon) are giving some present/gift for children.
