Well above average

Stayed in the suite which was a nice, clean and well maintained room with all the amenities you need. Staff is professional. Pool and poolside bar are nice, though often crowded since they serve a big number of hotel rooms. Breakfast is with a good variety of choices though with room for improvement when it comes to the fruit juices, bread and warm products like scrambled eggs.

Lovely stay in a good hotel

The hotel is located north of the main centre of Barcelona, but right next to the Westfield shopping centre and a short walk from Glories metro station. We mainly used taxis to get around as they are relatively cheap. The hotel lobby is large with lots of seating areas, the rooms were comfortable and clean, but a bit basic. The nicest part is definitely the 19th floor bar and pool area with fabulous views of the city. Could do with a few more sun loungers though. Breakfast was very good. Staff were friendly and accommodating which was impressive as we had 26 in our party. Overall we had a great time in a good clean hotel.

Location good, staff polite but really didn’t care after numerous times going to see them regarding our card not working to use the lift and to get into our room we were up and down like yo yo’s. Also not happy with the safety on the roof top terrace, there is hand rails but these are obstructed by planters, the steps are of different heights and no markings on the steps my mam actually fell and broke her arm but was very lucky it wasn’t more serious

Ivan, the door guy was great. Nicest thing to say about Novotel. Room was mediocre so the price charged per night made it a horrible value. Add to that they didn’t clean the room even after we requested cleaning service all they did was make oir beds and leave some nw towels. Never mind the dirty ones on the bathroom floor or that the floor was dirty. Wouldn’t stY at this chain again given the little service they provide for such prices.
