    This country was more exclusively French than in Paris and the Novotel was in line with that. The hotel was a little worn and understaffed, but it was an enjoyable stay nevertheless.

    Management of the food in the restaurant

    The food in the restaurant is good, but not well managed. The buffet dish up bowls run empty and is not properly controlled or refilled causing guests to wait.

    Look for other options in the area. Having the Novotel name is not what you think

    They promote on their website Shuttle service to the airport which they don't provide and the option they offer is 5x more of what a normal taxi would charge to the airport. Last day I ate at the restaurant before heading to the airport and the machines to charge me with card weren't working... instead of offering a solution they made me go to the ATM and get money to pay them, so I was charged a withdrawal fee, they didn't cared .... they even escorted me to the ATM (maybe they thought I was going to run away)

    Hotel was good, think you expect this for the amount you are paying for the room. Food was delicious.

    The variety in the buffet was disappointing

    The Monday evening buffet was stale . Some of the casseroles were not fresh and was suspiciously recycled.

    The restaurant wasn't good. The food was expensive and not of good quality. If your breakfast isn't included by default just go to a bakery or the local supermarket to get better and cheaper food. The restaurant meals are not good compared to all the nice restaurants you have at less than 20 min walk or 5 mijn taxi.

    Good hotel in the business district where there is good safety and facilities. Wifi in the room isn't that great but in the lobby you can work well Good location Nice swimming pool and outside area

    Lovely rooms, good location however my only disappoints were the cold showers, bad A/C & no breakfas

    I realized on the first night that the air condition in my room wasn't working. There was no hot water in the bathroom as well. I reported this and a handy man was sent up with a ladder and tried to repair as I sat waiting to sleep. He managed to fix it but now water was dripping from the ac too. I had to take a very cold shower as the plumber who was sent up to check on the hot water couldn't fix it and said nothing to me but just left. After taking another cold shower the next morning I reported the situation again on my way back from a meeting. This time around I was told my room would be changed which they did. My point is I expected a room change soon as I made the complain and not wait a whole day to do so. The cold showers were not pleasant.

    I thought the room came with Breakfast but noooo. When I asked at the reception I was informed I had to buy my breakfast if I wanted any. I wasn't too pleased with that.
