Ken C TripAdvisor review

The manager reached out regarding the buffet concern. They are going to give me a refund on that $760 Christmas buffet bill. Based on this I changed my overall review to a three (average ) The location is great. I would say now for what I spent it is as good as most hotels at that price point.

Was not happy to be treated like a theft when I tried to fill the water bottle in the restaurant area. Suggest to move the filter water machine to the lobby area including the hot water that would match with what was mentioned in the hotel instruction manual.

Dear Ms L., Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. I am sincerely sorry to learn about your experience and for how this situation made you feel during your stay. I would like to clarify that the water dispenser itself was available for guest use; however, the hot water machine is located behind the blinds in a section of the restaurant that was closed at the time. When you attempted to access the hot water by opening the blinds, this unfortunately led to a misunderstanding, as our supervisor was unaware that you were only trying to obtain hot water. I sincerely apologise that this interaction caused you to feel uncomfortable or as though your intentions were questioned. This is certainly not the level of service or care we strive to provide, and I fully understand how upsetting this would have felt—especially after being directed to the area by our reception team. Your feedback has been taken very seriously. We are addressing this internally by improving communication between departments and reviewing clearer signage and placement of our water facilities to ensure guests can access them easily without confusion in the future. Thank you once again for bringing this to our attention. We truly value your feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide you with a much more seamless and positive experience. Warm regards, Shriya Chimbaikar Food & Beverage Manager Novotel Christchurch Cathedral Square
