Disappointing introduction to our National Capital
Long delays at check-in and when we left the hotel sometime later there was still a substantial queue. We were unable to get a booking for the restaurant in spite of a large portable advertising sign advertising the restaurant outside the front of the hotel. Suggested the sign should be removed and advice from hotel staff was that “there are plenty of places outside the hotel to eat”! Staff were very dismissive and none were wearing name tags. Room very tired. Overall very disappointing and not a great introduction to Canberra.

2/10 Poor

We have stayed at Novotel many times over the years however the state of the hotel for this stay was horrible. Dirty socks from previous guest left in our room, beds were so uncomfortable where the four of us had no sleep for two nights, the pillows were flat and old, the carpets were worn out and dirty. Cleaner came on second day and only fixed beds. Did not clean the room. The bathroom had no soap or body wash and only shampoo and conditioner. There was no parking available for guests so we had to park a few blocks away and lug our luggage through Canberra streets. The pool was not clean nor heated. Very bad experience this time around z we won’t be staying there again.

there was no toothbrush and toothpaste. Could not charge my phone because the property did not have USB-c. Staff offered free parking for a customer before me, but the different staff who checked me in, charged for the parking.

Overall our stay was pleasant, the only downfall is parking, not enough spaces even though you have to pay per day, and it is t cheap, there is no guarantee a space, you then have to park at another car park at a different location and walk back to the hotel with all your luggage.

Nice hotel, lovely amenities. Unfortunately their parking situation is terrible. No parking spaces available so we had to park 3 blocks away… and we have a newborn. Not sure why this is.

Room cleaning service only on day 3 after expressly asking for it. Hallway was never cleaned during our stay. Beds were ripped. Very limited car parking on site so we had to park in a car park offsite. Restaurant was good. Breakfast could do with more variety at the buffet, e.g. only one type of cheese, no margarine and no interesting breads such as sourdough was provided.
