I stayed here with friends for a weekend in London, which otherwise was great. Honestly, I wish I didn't have anything negative to say about this hotel, because the location is excellent (right around the corner from Paddington station, just a 5-minute walk) and the rooms were adequate. However, unfortunately, I was quite unpleasantly surprised to find that the phone... More

I arrived at the Novotel after a 12 hour flight at 10am. The hotel was extremely busy. The reception staff was very friendly and warm. What impressed me the most was the Duty Manager Gili. He greeted every single guest who walked through the door, made sure people weren't waiting by helping check luggage for storage and asking how he... More

I stayed in this hotel for a weekend. It is a very modern hotel, specially if you compare it with other ones in the city. The rooms are very clean. The bathroom is quite complete (with a shower and a separate tub). The silence is one of its features. Good breakfast. My return flight was cancelled due to the snow,... More

I encountered a number of issues: 1. The bar manager claimed to be a know-it-all and refused to charge me in the local currency (GBP) on my credit card, whereas, if an option is presented to instead be charged in the home currency of the credit card, such option can be declined. 2. The man at the front desk, perhaps... More

They had misplaced our prepaid confirmed booking, and didn't know that we were a family with two young children. Without calling us they had arranged that we would stay in another hotel nearby, but at a tiny room where not even all of our luggage could get in. The staff at the Novotel lied to us and said that it... More
