What Others Say

We stayed a night during the weekend with 2 twin rooms on the non-smoking floor. The rooms were nice and clean, with basic toiletries and good air-con. The check-in and check-out process was fast.The breakfast spread is just nice for a day to start, with American (bread, baked beans, pancakes etc.) and Asian (lontong, porridge, fried bee hoon, fried rice etc.) food choices. Overall, the breakfast was good and value for money. My friends and I were very satisfied with Novotel, and will definitely come back again! －hapiggy
