VISIT DATE: TUE 09/12/2025 VISIT TIME: 14:00 - 17:00 VISIT TYPE: Business Meeting Have attended this branch of Novotel a couple of times now for meetings, so can only review the standard of the meeting room, rather than accommodation and, as I’m not responsible for bookings, unsure of costs, but as an attendee, I have been impressed with the staff and set up. On arrival, the hotel has an attractive, step -free, entrance, with reception desks to the left and a nice looking bar area to the right. Staff have always been very friendly and helpful when approached for assistance. The meeting rooms are on the first floor, which can be accessed by the stairs or lifts, making it accessible. There are a number of lifts, all good sized, so unlikely to have issues if attending in a wheelchair. On that note, the main entrance to the hotel has a revolving door… they have a regular door to the left of this, but I think staff must have to open it as I didn’t see any obvious signage, though I might have missed it. On getting to the first floor, you find yourself in a lobby with areas to sit and work / network, with the meeting rooms around. This is where the tea / coffee station is and there is also a machine for fancy coffee. All the rooms are a good size and can be configured to your requirements. Acoustics in the rooms are good and each has its own heating controls, and set up for connection of laptops. Toilets are spacious and there is an accessible toilet. The meeting management team are based in an office in the lobby so easy to get help with anything. Overall, this is a nice environment for meetings and I enjoy coming here.

Dear Hayley, Thank you very much for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful review of your meeting experience with us. We are delighted to hear that you have consistently been impressed with the meeting facilities, accessibility, and the support provided by our team.

in overall was good, friendly staff, good swimming pool, but some more attention to cleanliness is required in the hotel. The room carpet was very dirty and there were stains in the bathroom, and on the furniture that didn't require hard work.

Andrew N. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

Have stayed here about 5 times now and all other times have been 5/5, this time though I am leaving disappointed, The temperature of the rooms is low at 21 with signs around hotel telling you why this is great... if it was great you wouldnt need the signs, the air con in room does work though however you need to set it to 30 for heat to come out and warm up the room, the biggest issue has been that for 3 days I have had to run the cold tap so that the shower gets hot, they did try to fix the problem but couldn't and no offer of another room just thats the best they can do..... When its cold an wet outside you want a nice room to come back too an for the cost you would expect more hence the 2 star review The staff are great, location is great , very clean and friendly, i still like sgaying here. The family room main bed is really good the child's bed is basically a hospital trolley its ok I suppose They advertised brand new tvs and media hub, which my daugheter wanted for Netflix and me for the football on Now tv, Yet the tv has no smart features when we asked why they said its controlled by a centre in Solihull and have no idea, having freeview tv does not count as a media hub!!! Also the pool is also too cold commented on by 100s of people and you still keep it too cold, dont advertise a hot looking hot tub on your photos when its just an additional part of the main pool with some bubbles The review may sound harsh but its because I like the hotel an want to come again but for the first time ill be looking elsewhere to book next time
