The property offers excellent facilities, with a stunning atrium and a well-presented restaurant area that made dining a pleasure. The pool area is inviting, although it can feel a bit cool in the late dry-season afternoons as the building next door blocks the sun. Unfortunately, the spa isn’t heated, and there’s no sauna available. While the overall stay was enjoyable and the location is very convenient, the rooms could use some refurbishment. The bathrooms, in particular, feel dark and dated, and the ventilation fans don’t do enough to clear moisture. Overall, this is a comfortable and well-situated place to stay, but some updates to the rooms would make it even better.

This property was conveniently located on the Esplanade. Check in was simple and quick however zero engagement by the person checking us in. The rooms we stayed in (2 bedroom apartment) was pretty average and I was expecting more from Novotel especially considering the cost ($1100.00 for 2 nights). Floors were heavily stained. Rooms were very tired. Greeted by cockroaches in the kitchen and the bathroom was really not up to standard with lots of mould present in the shower and toilet (can scratch off easily with a fingernail so surely can clean off by scrubbing - clearly had not been scrubbed for a long time). Makeup from the previous person was on the tiles around the basin. Overall was disappointed and glad we were booked informed the remainder of our stay elsewhere.

Disappointing

Unfortunately, our stay at this Novotel was not up to expectations. The room we were allocated backed onto a neighboring hotel that played loud music until 3:00 AM, accompanied by disruptive noise from individuals outside well into the early morning. What was most disappointing is that we were moved from our original waterfront view room at the front of the hotel to a room at the rear, facing the source of the noise. This significantly impacted the quality of our stay.
