Shanmuganathan S. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

Dear S., Thank you for sharing your thoughts on your recent visit. We are truly sorry to hear that several aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations. Your experience with the in-room facilities and the way our team handled your report is not reflective of the service we aim to provide. Our maintenance staff are normally available to address technical matters promptly and we regret that the follow-up you received felt dismissive rather than helpful. The interaction you described at our Bridge restaurant also concerns us. We understand how frustrating it must have been to receive conflicting information about waiting times and we are sorry this led you to leave without dining. Our restaurant team is trained to coordinate seating efficiently, and we will reflect on your feedback to ensure our communication is always clear and consistent. We hope to be able to welcome you back on a return visit for an improved experience. Best regards, Elodie van der Waal, Front Office Supervisor

Maria E. S. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

Dear Maria E., We appreciate your review and the opportunity to address your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that your recent stay did not meet the high standards you have come to expect from us over the years. Several points you raised deserve our full attention. The upkeep of your room and the overall freshness of the space should have been flawless, and we regret that this was not the case. Our team is always on hand to address any shortcoming swiftly, and we encourage all our guests to reach out during their stay so we can make things right immediately. Your remarks about the breakfast experience concern us deeply. A calm and welcoming start to the day is essential, and we are sorry that your morning fell far from that. The atmosphere you described is not what we aim to provide, and we take your observations seriously. The condition of the fitness area during your visit was clearly not up to standard. While our facility offers access with a range of equipment, we understand that the ongoing works created an unwelcoming setting, and we are sorry for the inconvenience this caused you. We also acknowledge your disappointment with how your room assignment was handled. When a guest books an upper-category room, the expectation is a seamless experience, and we regret that the solution offered at the time did not match that commitment. Your loyalty as a returning guest means a great deal to us, and your candid feedback helps us stay focused on what truly matters. We hope we can provide you with an improved stay in the future. Kind regards, Elodie van der Waal, Front Office Supervisor

Maria E. S. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

I have been there several times in the past so I can clearly see a highly noticeable decrease of quality. Here the main things I noticed: - rooms and bathroom are not as clean as they use to be. The smell is strong. The toilets have a black shadows inside meaning no deep cleaning is done - the outside sounds are strong and persistent throughout the day and the night. To sleep I had to use white noises - the breakfast, the worse spent 25 euros!! The food not good and not varied as it used to be and the personnel not friendly nor helpful. I even witnessed a fight between the manager (I think) and the chef. They had a big fight and everyone was there looking at eachother, it felt awkward and uncomfortable! In addition to this becosue of the fighting the eggs were not ready and we left without eggs. Which for 25 euros is disappointing. -the gym, o man!! That was unbelievably bad! Only 2 machines and work in progress everywhere. Instead of keeping it open I would have done this: keep it close and dive your guests a day access to the university gym (7,5 euro per entry ) you can make customers happy and you show an out of the box thinking approach! I am really really disappointed by the Novotel standard this time! Took no pictures as I am sure you know what I am talking about

Staff is ok, could be friendlier but not unfriendly. Rooms are average, an upgrade could be a mini fridge for example. Windows can not be opened, which is a minus point. Breakfast is good, nice food and coffee. Location is ok, it was close to where I needed to be. Market is missing some stock which is even advertised on the screen

Charuk S. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

I booked this hotel at the counter after an unlucky incident with the original work-provided accomodation. I was helped very well. The rooms are spacious with great attention to detail. I'm not often impressed by interior design, but this one struck me immediately as emanating luxury. The lighting is wonderful and the bed slept softly like on a cloud. The breakfast was fresh, tasty and the coffee good. The only thing that would have improved my stay is slightly higher water pressure on the showers.

Dear Charuk, We appreciate you sharing your comments with us. We are delighted that you found your stay so comfortable and that our team made you feel well looked after at the counter. Our rooms are designed with care, so it is wonderful to hear that the spacious layout and refined interior struck you the moment you walked in. We are also glad the lighting and the soft bed helped you settle in after your day. We will share your kind words with the bar team, who will be pleased to know they added a warm touch to your evening. We hope to be able to welcome you back in the future.

The cleaning was not very good. They sometimes didnt change the towels when we put the towels on the floor. It would be good to have a cupboard for clothes. For a 4 star hotel the standard room is only 3 star quality.

Dear Agnes, Thank you very much for your feedback. We are pleased that your overall stay at Novotel Rotterdam Brainpark left you with a sense of satisfaction. That said, we are sincerely sorry that some aspects of your visit did not meet your expectations. The consistency of our daily housekeeping and the replacement of towels should have been more reliable, and we regret the oversight. We also acknowledge your thoughts on the room amenities and the breakfast offering, and your feedback will be taken into consideration.

Leonard F. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

Very welcoming folks at the front desk; two young women. I arrived at 8:30AM after a trip from the US that got me to Schiphol at 6AM. I like to minimize jet lag by taking a two-hour nap when I arrive. They were kind enough to find a room for me that let me get some sleep and feel very well rested for the remainder of the day.

Dear Leonard, Please accept our sincere thanks for this kind feedback. We are delighted that you found our front desk team so welcoming after your long journey from the United States. It is wonderful to hear that the two young women at reception were able to find you a room for an early check-in, helping you rest and feel refreshed for the rest of your day. We also appreciate your thoughtful approach to the environment by reusing your towels during your stay. Small gestures like yours make a real difference. Your perfect recommendation scores mean a great deal to us, both for Novotel and the ALL loyalty programme. We are glad that your trip got off to such a smooth start with us. We look forward to welcoming you back. Best wishes, Elodie van der Waal, Front Office Supervisor

The room lacked basic ammenities like mini fridge/mini bar, poor air conditioning also no decent closet. the gym was under constructions so practically inaccessible. The only good thing was the breakfast. the only reason for booking the hotel was its proximity to Erasmus university. will defenitevely not repeat this mistake!

Dear Miriam E., Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are glad that our breakfast buffet left a positive impression during your business stay. However, we are truly sorry to hear that several aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations. We regret the shortcomings you encountered with the in-room facilities and the temporary unavailability of our fitness centre. The cleanliness of your accommodation also fell below the level we strive for, and we are sorry for any discomfort this caused. We hope you will consider giving us another opportunity in the future to provide you with a much better experience. Kind regards, Elodie van der Waal, Front Office Supervisor

Allerdiena H. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

In general experience was good, things to improve are making gym more accessible and make it possible to use the stairs instead of the lift.

Dear Allerdiena, Thank you for reviewing your visit to our hotel. We are glad you had a good overall experience and found our location convenient for your conference. That said, we are sorry for the shortcomings you encountered with access to our facilities. Our fitness centre is located on the second floor and is open from 7 AM - 11 PM for all our guests. We also want you to know that our team is always available at reception to help you find the most comfortable way to move around the hotel. Nonetheless, we are pleased that our proximity to the Erasmus University and the Brainpark business area worked well for your business trip. We hope that you will return on a future occasion. All the best, Elodie van der Waal, Front Office Supervisor

Alessandro F. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

A disappointing stay. We booked directly through Accor to guarantee there wouldn't be any cause for miscommunication. We selected a superior room with twin beds but when we arrived at the property we got assigned a regular room with a french double bed (which is also tiny). We went back to reception to ask to be moved to the correct room category but we were told none were available and maybe, just maybe one would decome available the following day. No compensation was offered, not even a pity breakfast. The following day we were also told that no rooms in our category were available until we kept pressing and another employee intervened and gave us one. Sadly the new room smelled terribly of mildew mixed with sewer but we cranked the fan to max and hoped it would go away. Again, not only they never offered any compensation, but they never even apologised for the issue.

Dear Alessandro, It is disheartening to learn that we fell short of your expectations. We are truly sorry to hear that some aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations. Your arrival experience and the difficulty with your room allocation are not reflective of the service we aim to provide, and we regret the frustration this caused you. The superior twin room you booked should have been available upon your arrival, and we understand how disappointing it was to face delays and uncertainty before being moved to the correct category. We are also sorry that the second room did not meet our usual standards of freshness, and that the bathroom fittings and water flow fell short of what you rightfully anticipated. Cleanliness oversights such as the ones you described are taken seriously, and we will share your comments with our team to ensure greater attention to detail. We appreciate you mentioning that our reception staff were friendly, and we acknowledge that they could have handled your situation with more assurance and follow-through. Finally, we are glad that despite the challenges, you noticed the efforts of our housekeeping colleagues, who work hard to maintain a comfortable environment for our guests. We do hope to be able to welcome you back for a better experience. Best wishes, Elodie van der Waal, Front Office Supervisor
