HeySmorfe TripAdvisor review

Be aware of this. We had promised ourselves not to write negative reviews on TripAdvisor or any other site. We are writing, however, this review, keeping our neutrality, impartiality, and objectivity, without showing the emotion of disappointment over the reality that between what some hoteliers sell and what some hotel guests find is a discrepancy that feels like a cold shower of awakening to reality. Frankly, we did not need belated derisive, hypocritical justifications from Novotel/Ibis. We needed practical solutions when the time was right. This is why we address our readers (>24k, so far) because our profession requires it. We also share our experience as travelers and guests in luxury hotels (4-, 5-stars) in Sydney, Montreal, Paris, Amsterdam, and sunny countries like Greece, Turkey, etc. In short: 1. Novotel lacks basic comfort. This hotel is not a 4-star, but 3. 2. The room(s) is(are) old-fashioned, with historical defects; the repairs are not done, and it has an outdated air, figuratively, and a dark musty, literally. 3. Front desk staff (4-6 employees) don't bother to be friendly, with 1-2 exceptions. Surely those few are amateurs of 4-stars. 4. The supervisor/concierge proved that she does not know how to solve a daily problem: changing rooms for current quests. In detail: 1. There are stains on the wall in the room(s). 2. There is hair on the shelf/soaker in the bathroom. It sounds disgusting, doesn't it? 3. There are sticky dirt stains on the carpet in the room. No comment. 4. The electrical outlet is blackened by intense use and by time, at the toilet. 5. The window of the room is broken, it doesn't open, but it should. One person in our group changed his room for the very same reason. 6. The flow of hot and cold water is impermissibly low, in the shower and bathtub. 7. Once there was no cold water, at all. 8. The door at the entrance to the room creaks and opens with difficulty. For some, it would mean a happy morning effort to refresh, so to speak. 9. The door malfunction was previously reported by another customer. See the previous review. 10. A hair dryer is placed under the sink, on a shelf, the perfect place for microbial cultures. A lady would not touch the dryer, we would politely suggest. 11. The cards did not work one day because they were blocked for no reason. At our request, they were replaced. The receptionist said it's not the first time the cards don't work. It is a matter of being or not being technologically proficient (with computers). 12. The sink plug is blocked, and residual water accumulates. We asked for a repair. However, it had to be fixed before check-in, didn't it? 13. Some glasses from the in-house restaurant are stained, which shows that they are not wiped or washed properly. 14. We asked one evening to change the room, since the window was defective, meaning it did not open. Their procedure is to pack your bags, check out at 11 AM the next day, with your bags ready in the lobby, and then check in again after 2 PM. This is, excuse my French, The Emptiness of the Soul! 15. As for the minibar/mini fridge, it is empty. Seriously? I left at the end a description of what is called an abusive worker(s). 16. When an employee (receptionist, supervisor, etc.) is arrogant, only cares about what she feels (tired, indifferent, frustrated), or pretends to care about the reasonable demands of the customer, or is even mean to the customer, it means that employee(s) has(have) an abusive personality, a form of narcissism specific to this activity. This type of toxic employee should be removed or sent elsewhere, away from customers. Conclusion: What should you do as a customer in these situations? File a complaint? React emotionally? To revolt? We prefer not to set foot again in their hotels. Happy travelers, M&M.

Good stay with good service most of the time

We was a little disappointed over the standard of the room. Pictures on the web shows just newer room in all categories. This room was old, but clean. Most of the staff had very good service. We were also disappointed when we checked out and they did not ask how our stay was or welcomed us back. I think this was also the manager. Rest of the staff was very nice.

Dear Mr K., Thank you for taking the time to share your review. We are thrilled to hear that you found our booking process straightforward and our prices transparent. This is a key part of our commitment to providing a seamless guest experience from start to finish. We regret to hear that the information provided about our hotel and the surrounding area did not meet your expectations. Our team strives to ensure that all guests feel well-informed and we will certainly reflect on how we can improve communication in this regard. Regarding your breakfast experience, we offer a variety of options and take pride in catering to different preferences; we wish you could have shared your feedback on the scrambled eggs directly with the restaurant team on the spot. It is particularly pleasing to hear that our bartenders added positively to your stay, and we thank you for highlighting their service. However, it is upsetting to know that your departure experience did not include the cordial farewell we aim to provide. This is not reflective of the high standards we set for guest interactions, and we will address this internally to ensure our team provides a more thoughtful and engaging check-out process in the future. We all hope to welcome you back in the future. Best wishes, Pierre Messe, General Manager

Hotel is overpriced, room was average. But what made the experience bad was the staff. Receptionist won't even look at you or at least tried to pretend they are trying to help you.

Dear Ms O., Thank you for taking the time to share your review. We regret to hear that certain aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations. We strive to ensure a swift and welcoming check-in process and usually our dedicated team has only positive feedback from our guests. That is why we are sincerely dismayed to hear that it was not the case during your stay with us. We do hope to welcome you back in the future for an improved experience. Best wishes, Pierre Messe, General Manager
