10/10 Excellent
"The stay was absolutely great. The room was nice and spacious. Cleanliness standards were top notch, as expected from Novotel. The location is amazing for the World Forum (literally the same building) and it’s also not far from the city centre and the beach. I would highly recommend this hotel. The breakfast spread was good and staff were very polite and professional."
