Abrupt Welcome

TripAdvisor rating 4.0/5

rachgasston 30/06/2020 TripAdvisor review

I do like Novatel Hotel generally but the one in Hamilton needs to get its act together with customer service. When you prepay your stay online as an accor member, and you can have that supposedly seamless check in and check out, you do not need to be told at the front counter on your welcome, that you have only paid a deposit for your room. The girl at the front desk of Novatel Hamilton is not a very welcoming sort of person who has an abrupt tone and an impatient persona. She needs to welcome you with : Your stay in the room is all paid for (she can see that its been done with a credit card days before and it has come out of your own credit card) and now we need a credit card to put on file for any extras you may incur during your stay. That is clear, precise and exact. Rather than insisting you have only paid a deposit on your room. That is confusing and appears that you have more to pay on your room stay. She needs instruction in customer service so her persona is welcoming, cheery and exact. Other than that, the stay was fine.

happy again

Disappointed in cleanliness

TripAdvisor rating 4.0/5

LijlanieS 28/06/2020 TripAdvisor review

The bath wasn't cleaned at all upon our arrival. The carpets were very dirty -even dirty marks on the walls. Even when we specifically requested the bath be cleaned properly the next day, it still wasn't done properly. Especially in light of Covid-19, one would expect the hotel to have far higher standards on cleanliness and hygiene.

Pleasant and quick walk to town

Fantastic Stay

Customer review rating 4.3/5

Graeme Couples - 24/06/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

We had fantastic stay and were really impressed with the brand new executive rooms, they are stunning !! They have a fantastic walk in shower, modern stunning decor and a very comfortable bed with top quality linen. We were also greeted with a very friendly receptionist and our dinner was 5 star top notch ! The Lamb rump just melted in my mouth :) Was great to see the Buffet breakfast back, they had a great choice of food and had hand sanitiser placed every where which most people were using after using the tongs. We loved our stay so much we have booked a room for ourselves and family again this weekend. Kiwis treat your self to stay at this Hotel and support this great team of people.

I found the hotel warm, clean and staff friendly. The food in the restaurant was great and very enjoyable and it was a lovely surprise to have fresh berries in the middle of winter. The be was very comfortable and the shower had great water pressure. Love the shampoo and conditioner provided and would love to get a hold of more, my hair and skin was soft and refreshed.

ErenaT9 24/06/2020 TripAdvisor review

My partner and I reallly enjoyed our stay here at the Novotel. I arrived to be greeted by the Valet. So polite and helpful. I left her with my keys and went into check in. Was greeted warmly by the reception staff for priority check-in. Lobby area and even the toilets were very clean. Our room was clean and tidy. Loved our bed. Very big and spacious, but best of all so very comfortable. Our ensuite was quite compacted, however, I absolutely love the shower space. The room had the bare essentials which we were both happy with. Very chic interior. Our room service we ordered was promised to the estimated time. Our attendant was such a busy man but maintained such a bubbly and professional persona to him. He was fabulous. Thank you so much to the staff for their generous hospitality. I look forward to staying again, but hopefully for a longer duration.
