Comfort with quality
I came here with my family for a quick stay and loved every bit of it. Not only the staff being super friendly, the location is ideal and everything is just around a short walk.
The room size is okay but comfortable. We opted for their breakfast which was warm and lovely. Over all we loved our stay here.

Good hotel let down by staff
The hotel itself was great for the price, centrally located and clean with a large room. Unfortunately some of the staff let the hotel down with their unprofessional behaviour and awful customer service. Enough to put us off Novotel for life.

Great location, v close to TM station
Great location very close to Temple Meads, despite busy location, quiet with windows closed. Beds comfortable, room clean & buffet breakfast 7-11 on weekends. Works well for kids too.
