Very disappointed for 4.5 star hotel .
The room was comfortable however furnishings were old needs revamping. Had to ask for slippers was told not available when told to see the manager slippers turned up in the room . Had to request twice for bath gowns. Television not working sound picture disappearing . Breakfast room dirty tables and cloth seats dirty stains etc . Needless to say very disappointed
For a Brand name Novotel 4:5 star hotel .

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.

We walked into our room to a bandaid in the bathroom only to them discover our balcony door didn’t lock (with 2 young children with us). We got moved to another room. Rooms were out dated and basic. Bedding average with uncomfortable pillows. The included breakfast was decent however managed to score myself a cup covered in lipstick so not washed properly. The pool are was was good. Despite the drama the staff was friendly and apologetic but I expect a lot more when I’m paying what I did for the Novotel brand. Over priced for the experience we had.

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.
3.0
Bed and pillows hard. Room didnt have sheets for pull put couch even though we had 4 guests. Took 24s hrs for them to deliver some. Same for pillows and towels. Customer services mixed. App for room service failed took money, and then tried to charge it to room. Only told of limited payed parking the day off. Parked 2 blocks away first night.

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.

Central location - walk to the shops in Civic is good. Close to bus depot. Novotel Canberra doesn't allow a car park to be pre-booked. If you have queries, phones don't get answered unless you select "new reservation". On the day (being school holidays) the foyer check-in was horrid, busy and crowded and cramped. The building itself is clearly a converted government department building - typical for Canberra, a place with little to no historic character left (because everything gets knocked down then rebuilt - a very unsustainable approach to development) definitely not a Venice or Prague destination.

Superb location in Canberra, very central, close to great restaurants and right next to Murrays bus stop from Sydney. Tram station next to it. Lovely heated pool and good gym

Mold in bathroom. Hole in bath towel. Carpet coming apart. Furniture damaged. Walls marked.Room service did not pick up phone. Had to walk to restaurant and give written order for room service. Booked through Expedia. 4 nights $1418.38. Checked out after 2 nights. No refund. Don’t stay here and don’t use Expedia

Disappointed with the lack of parking. Forget calling house keeping or reception. Called both at least 10 times for towels as they didn’t provide sufficient for 4 people. Mugs available were 2 although we booked for 4 people. Again tried calling but never responded.
They tried charging me for parking when it was for 1 hour when trying to check in.
I hope they try improve their services given the you pay.
My only positive is the heated indoor pool and spa.

No parking. I had someone disabled with me and being forced to park a long way from hotel and pay extra money was totally unacceptable . I booked on the promise of parking. Ruined my stay. Also being told to sit in a stool at bar with someone disabled was also ridiculous. You should make concessions for disabled persons. It was clearly visible. Otherwise staff nice and helpful
5.0
Well located property close to Civic's conveniences shops cafes and restaurants. Convenient to transport by bus to and from the football. Not 5 star but probably 3.5 or 4 star. It suited us for a 3 night stay with friends at a reasonable price.

It ticked all the boxes for facilities etc, just starting to show its age. Shower heads not great, pillows a bit hard. I know those things are picky, but its not a cheap stay.
