Pros:

Pool, gute Verkehrsanbindung, Frühstück top (Alternativen zum Englisch Breakfast), Soja Joghurt, 3 verschiedene Pflanzendrinks, Käse und Wurst, Obst etc.

Cons:

Stylische Toilettentür (quasi schwingende Doppeltür) allerdings ohne Lärmschutz aller Beteiligten ;), Karte abgeben für spa ok, aber dann sollte die neue Karte auch Aufzug oder Türen dorthin frei geben. Parkplatzpreis schon knackig, aber halt öffentlich,

Dejligt ophold
Pros:

Det var pænt og rent. God pool. Gode værelser med aircondition og køleskab. Rart med smart TV. Supermarked overfor. Kan kunne ikke høre togene på trods af at hotellet ligger klods op ad togstationen

Cons:

De høje priser i restauranten

Pros:

I liked the spacious rooms and the cleanliness.

Cons:

The hotel’s location is quite far from the city centre and parking is surprisingly expensive despite ample space. The breakfast was average, lacking in variety and salad options for the price. I had booked the hotel specifically for its pool but it was already closed when I arrived. I tried using it in the morning after breakfast but unfortunately they had a baby swimming session and it seemed the guests weren’t hotel guests either. So I didn’t use the pool at all. Considering the high price, I expected better food and spa quality. However, the staff was fantastic!

Nice hotel, not a holiday destination
Pros:

The hotel was clean, airy and comfortable. The staff were polite and professional. Rooms were a great size. Some Outstanding members of staff on site.who were very amenable. The rituals toiletries were exceptional 👌

Cons:

The parking was very busy as it was the railway station car park and quite expensive. The reception area was very small and some staff seemed young and inexperienced. I was disappointed at the lack of gluten free options on the menu. No sausages and only one cereal on offer at breakfast. The evening menu was labeled but the symbols they use are so small I couldn't read them. The location is very remote with only a coffee shop and coop in the location. Fine if commuting but not a great location for a holiday. Expensive for what's on offer

Very go shame about parking
Pros:

Great facilities particularly the working a/c on a sweltering day. Good rooms and reSonable parking

Cons:

Not directly Novotel but use of NCP parking was a bit of a rip off via the paybyphone app. Ie charged for way too long a period so parking bill a let down for the stay. Also when arrived there was no obvious place to briefly stop to check in/drop off.
