Currently a lot of construction around the Novotel and food is not as easy to walk to as it has been in the past. We got a great room with harbour views to watch the fireworks which was a highlight for my boys. Rooms are comfortable, beds comfortable.

The attention to conservation is commendable. The lack of room slippers was surprising as was the absence of cotton buds and nail file that I would expect in a hotel of the Novotel class
