Enjoyable stay again. Truly appreciated the free upgrade thanks Accor and Novotel Tainui. The only gripe was a cold buffet breakfast which seems to be a common complaint with Novotel.

Kia Ora Carolyn, Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback, it was great to read you enjoyed your time with us. Thank you for bringing your buffet breakfast experience to my attention. I have taken the liberty of escalating your feedback to our Food & Beverage Manager. Once again, thank you for your loyalty to Accor and we look forward to welcoming you back in the near future. Kind regards, Marteli Studer Guest and Conference Coordinator Novotel Tainui Hamilton

Jaynie M. Families - 08/06/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Parking was very difficult. We had 2 vehicles one we tried to park early afternoon and had to leave on the street a few blocks away as not parking available. The 2nd vehicle we tried to park at 8pm, same deal, no carpark. We have young children so this was quite inconvenient. We had a drink downstairs and watched a bit of the rugby, it was cold and we told that the fire could not be turned on as there was no gas. I thought this was odd.

Kia Ora Jaynie, Thank you for choosing to stay with us and for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. We very much appreciate the comments you made and I can assure you we are working hard to source additional parking options so that we can provide this service for all of our guests. Once again, thank you for the feedback. Kind regards, Marteli Studer Guest and Conference Coordinator Novotel Tainui Hamilton

Kez Families - 08/06/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Once again let down by this Hotel. We came for a family birthday only made one request and that was to be all near each other. Got there to find one group was put on a completely different floor. Booked at least 3 weeks in advance wasn't told then that this was not possible due to only having 8 rooms of the type we booked, if known we could have changed room type. Tried to book in on line but could only do with 2 rooms so had to ring Hotel to do the 3rd room and wasn't told then that we were separated either. Then we got moved to the same floor into a cheaper room yet they tried to charge me the higher price on checking out. Poor form guys!!

Kia Ora Keryn, Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. It is disappointing to read your comments and we sincerely apologize that we were unable to deliver a seamless experience. There is no excuse from our perspective we just need to be better across all areas of the guest journey. We cannot undo what has happened but we will certainly learn from your feedback and as a gesture of our sincerity to put things right, we would like to credit your loyalty account with 4000 courtesy points and hope that you will give us an opportunity to show you the level of service we can deliver at some stage in the future. Kind regards, Marteli Studer Guest and Conference Coordinator Novotel Tainui Hamilton

. Couples - 08/06/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Parking was non existent, the only option was valet, which was full so had to find our own parking. Room was good, clean, tidy and plenty of room for a Hotel room. Bar service at night was a little ropey and the initial interaction at Breakfast the following morning was slightly shambolic with the Maitre D telling us to "take a seat if you can find one". Breakfast options however were plentiful.

Kia Ora Simon, Thank you for choosing to stay with us and for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. We very much appreciate the comments you made and I can assure you we are working hard to source additional parking options so that we can provide this service for all of our guests. it was disappointing to read your comments regarding the experiences you had in the restaurant. Please accept our sincere apologies and rest assured we will work harder moving forward to ensure we are meeting all our guest expectations. Once again thank you for the feedback and we hope to be of service again in the near future Kind regards, Marteli Studer Guest and Conference Coordinator Novotel Tainui Hamilton

A few maintenance issues, faucet tap wouldn't stay on and toilet paper kept falling off toilet roll holder. Other than that pretty good, although I would like for the in room menu to be larger

Anonymous Families - 07/06/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Positive Marcia and Safira? The house keeping ladies were amazing, once they knew we had 4 kids, they made sure we had enough towels, soaps, milk and hot for the kids and would check in to see if we needed any more milk and anything else. Honestly loved how accommodating they were and the kids (funny enough) would be happy to see them. Even the Indian gentleman that was on Thursday early morning between 6-7:30 was great. Very accommodating. Negative It would be great if someone had showed us the ins and outs as a courtesy and what service they offer and where things are. We sort of had to explore and were abit clueless e.g with where our room was and were just directed with hand gesture to go to the elevator. This was a trip for a church conference down in Hamilton. I found out about the hotel through Google search

paeakau 11/04/2021 TripAdvisor review

The services we experienced (at reception, at room service, at the bar and at breakfast were very professional, warm and welcoming. The room (overlooking the panoramic view of the Waikato River) was very comfortable with the standard amenities - air conditioning and heating; tea, coffee, hot chocolate, sugar milk, an iron and ironing board, a box of tissues, shampoo, conditioning, show gel, body lotion and a hair dryer available. The best was having a nice room to stay in. The least liked was having to check out!

Amazing

GoPlaces23980661374 Business - 01/04/2021 TripAdvisor review

I spend the summer travelling NZ and stay at a lot of Accor hotels as a result. I have accumulated points to attain Platinum status yet I consistently been forgotten about and not provided any benefits. It's disappointing as I find the service across the Accor Novotel's incredibly inconsistent and it is frustrating when people I travel with receive benefits and I don't and when I question it I'm told they don't have my number which I have registered numerous times before and they still don't acknowledge the points I have accumulated. So I ask you, what is the point?
