Good. However the place needs a upgrade as it is looking a bit worn out. The parking is a nightmare as the spaces are way to small. What happened to the free fox channels etc?

Dear Kelley T., We very much appreciate your comments regarding your stay at the Novotel Canberra. It is always a pleasure to receive positive feedback. I will share your comments with our team. We have suspended foxtel services at the moment due to low demand. We will be putting this service back in once our demand goes higher for this service.

Hi, My last two stays at the Novotel Canberra have made me decide to NOT stay there next time. It has been the hotel of choice for me for some time. However, since Covid it just isn't the same. The service orientation of the staff. I can understand that you can't expect a full service hotel with limited guests. But I would expect you to have kept your best staff. Room service, restaurant and even a bit of the reception staff all failed to live up to the brand in the last two visits. The breakfast team have been very slow - I have left without even takeaway twice. I waited 15 minutes to have phones answered twice. Meals were not the complete order - but (like the staff) - I have lost the will to do anything at the time. I am telling you because management, loyalty notes, wine etc. have all been very engaging but no one is delivering.

Dear Brendan N., Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at the Novotel Canberra, in addition to thanking you for your regular patronage at the Hotel. I am sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations; please allow me to express my sincerest apologies. At Novotel, we strive to provide a superior service experience for every customer; therefore your feedback is very important to us. While it is extremely kind of you to understand that the pandemic has altered the way we function, in no regard should it be taken as an excuse for the service we provide. We pride ourselves in the way we function but it is evident that we have let you down on your past couple of visits. I am glad that you have highlighted these F&B issues so that these issues can be addressed at the earliest. Please be rest assured that we are taking the appropriate measures to address the problem and prevent future occurrence. I can personally assure you that this was a one off incident and is not something of a regular occurrence. We appreciate your sharing your concerns, and it is our hope that you will give us the opportunity to better serve you in the near future. Sincerely, Sarthak Bhatia Night Manager

Dave Families - 20/10/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

My wife and 2 daughters thoroughly enjoyed our well earned weekend stay at the Novotel Canberra. The staff were fantastic, our room was extremely clean and large enough for us all, the pool was relaxing, valet parking was so easy and the breakfast was absolutely delicious. We found a lovely little birthday cake surprise upon entering the room which brought tears to my wife's eyes, such an amazing little gesture meant so much to all of us. We are so grateful. Many thanks to everyone for making our stay so relaxing and enjoyable. We will definately be back.

Dear David M., We very much appreciate your comments regarding your stay at the Novotel Canberra. It is always a pleasure to receive positive feedback. I am pleased that you have enjoyed all aspects of your stay with us and I will share your comments with our team. After such a topsy-turvy year, I am sure that this feedback will serve as an encouragement to all of our staff as we strive to continuously improve the quality of our services. We, at the Hotel, are nothing short of grateful that you decided to spend such a special day with us and it is the least we could do. We hope to welcome you again soon to the Hotel. Regards, Sarthak Bhatia

The hotel and staff were fine, but your carpark is terrible. The spaces are too small. The more expensive the vehicle, the more they used up another lane.

1st room was dirty, rubbish on floor, 2nd room better but not by much. Poor service in restaurant, great service at reception.

Dear Pauline K., Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at the Novotel Canberra. Your feedback really matters and is valuable to us, it helps us to perform better. I am sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations; please allow me to express my sincerest apologies. At Novotel, we strive to provide a superior service experience for every customer and ensure that we take significant steps to improve with each passing day. Having said that we do have a very stringent cleaning process specially after the pandemic the frequency and protocols have doubled. We have put that up with our housekeeping team and can ensure that this does not repeat, but at some occasion the system defaults and we end up allocating the wrong rooms. Please be rest assured that we are taking the appropriate measures to address the problem and prevent future occurrence. We appreciate your sharing your concerns, and it is our hope that you will give us the opportunity to better serve you in the near future. Sincerely, Jay Madhyan, Assistant Manager, Novotel Canberra.

Dear Kester D., Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at the Novotel Canberra. Your feedback is very important to us and helps us perform better.

At Novotel, we strive to provide a superior service experience for every customer and take into consideration all the concerns our valuable guests have.

However we would love to get our property refurbished as soon as we get the first opportunity to do so. As we are all aware of the current situation, the hospitality industry has suffered quite a bit and has left us with limited resources.
