Philip J. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

two nights with a group of 17. Slow check-in mid evening due to a staff member illness so only one staffer to check us in. But the person was helpful. Exceptional lunch in the conference centre. Truly, the best of our week long study tour. We appreciated the restaurant staff still taking orders as several of us got to the restaurant right on closing time, due to the check in delayu.

Dear Philip, Thank you very much for taking the time to share such detailed feedback following your recent stay with us. We truly appreciate you choosing our hotel for your study tour and are delighted to hear that, overall, your experience was positive. We are especially pleased to know that you enjoyed the location, found our team helpful, and that the lunch in our conference center stood out as the highlight of your week-long tour. Your kind words about both our reception and restaurant teams will certainly be shared with them — they will be very proud to know their efforts made a difference, particularly in accommodating your group despite the late arrival. We sincerely apologise for the delay you experienced during check-in. Unfortunately, the unexpected illness of a team member meant we were operating with reduced staffing that evening. Thank you also for your comments across the various aspects of your stay, including accommodation, Wi-Fi, cleanliness, and our sustainability initiatives. We value these insights as they help us continue to improve the experience we offer our guests. It was a pleasure to welcome you, and we hope to have the opportunity to host you again should your travels bring you back. Until then, we wish you all the best. Kind regards, Joshua Guest Services Manager Novotel Cathedral Square
