Had issues with the room not being clean- sweets on bedside table, bathroom & sofa bed caked in dust/grime & clearly never been cleaned. Had to ask 3 times at reception before the room was properly clean & ended up discussing with a second manager on checkout as the one discussed with initially offered part refund as she was unable to move us to a different room then never got back to me. The manager (Peter Steadman) who eventually sorted things out for me was excellent and took my complaint seriously. Shame it needed to come to this though. Other than that the hotel was great - comfy bed, shower and bath in bathroom, nice breakfast, pool

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Staff were lovely but the room itself (229) wasn't too good. The bed was rock hard, the mirror was all stained, the toilet roll holder was hanging off the wall, one towel had suspicious marks on it and the toilet roll was so cheap and dirty all on the side. Not what you'd really expect from a Novotel.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Outside frontage poorly maintained, dies not give good first impression. Reception staff not the friendliest, more checking everything is paid, car park etc., pushing breakfast at £15 each, last time it was awful, no thank you! Not welcoming, suited a purpose for us as visiting concert close by at Barbican. Done it twice now, won't stay again, kids and dogs everywhere too! 30 mins allocated slot in pool area, struggle to spend more than 10 mins as small and only a sauna as well as pool. Key card doesnt work on door, Receptionist has to check you're booked in before allowing you in! Room adequate 330, but worlds smallest toilet room and sewage smell from sink (read that too on previous reviews) obviously nothing done about it. Stains on carpet, bleach? Poor for a Novotel, expect better.
