Lift not working. We were not informed. I had mom with me who is 64yrs and we had to take stair down from level three. Property even doesn’t have a porter to assist. Despite stating that night dinning is available upon enquiring we were advise to use uber eats. Not a good experience for new year

Worth a stay
It is a great location and an easy 2-minute walk into all the great shopping and restaurant district. Close to Ferry Terminal. Excellent cafe Oranga across the road for breakfast. The gym is too small, but the location makes it worth it.

Great place to stay.
A few minute's drive from the Ferry terminal to the hotel, which is excellent. Our Ferry was late, but the check-in desk was accommodating, professional and made us feel very welcome in the early hours of the morning. Excellent valet services, given we had three surf boards on the top of a Ranger. Room was warm and clean.

Great location, very helpful and friendly staff. Highly recommended. Very good dining. The only downside was a lot of dust inside the trim including carpet. Being allergic I had to up medication as while I cleaned the dust on the furniture I could not do anything hung with the carpet.

Not a 4 star hotel. Air conditioning did not work well, room safe was not operational, bed was lumpy. Staff was helpful, breakfast good, and location is fine. It needs significant improvements to rate 4 stars. We have stayed at other Novotel hotels and have been satisfied - but not this time.

Expedia offered a reservation for a king bed that when I got to property 20 minutes after booking was unavailable. Expedia would not accept my cancellation despite reserving to pay at property. Expedia failed big time. Do not use Expedia
