Novotel Montpellier

I thought this hotel was fabulous. The breakfast choices were vast, and the pool was spacious and a perfect temperature. The rooms were clean, but they were a bit small, kids even got a free teddy when signing in! It had very nice surroundings and had lots of nature! I would highly suggest coming!

We have stayed at the Novotel in Montpellier many times, normally en route to Spain. The hotel is located on the outskirts of the city and can be easily accessed from the autoroute. Garcia Lorca tram station is a short walk away and the tram stops right in heart of the vibrant and lively city centre. The room wasn’t anything fancy but was very clean and comfortable. The bar and reception areas have been refurbished the staff were very welcoming and helpful. During our stay, we had to move rooms due to a leak from the air-conditioning unit, this was dealt with efficiently and without drama. The car park is secure with ample spaces.

An extremely modern hotel, with free parking, a bar, restaurant which serves good breakfast with a good choice of food for dinner. The hotel room was spacious, had AC/Heating controls inside of the room and had a mini fridge, along with tea/coffee making facilities.

Hotel facilities is worn down. Fridge not working. Air conditioning cannot go below 25 degrees Celsius. I asked if they could fix it and they did nothing.the room can't go dark because there is a very bright lamp just outside the room and there is holes in the blackout curtain. Nice reception and a good pool but that's is about it.

The hotel is dingy and dated, stains all over the carpet in the main entryway and at first glance, if it would have been possible, we would have changed hotels. There was a funny announcement at the check in desk, asking for patrons to be patient and kind with the staff as they appeared to be missing personnel. The man who checked us in was nice. The room was not. The air-conditioner would not cool the room and we had a sleepless, frustrating night roasting in our bed. The furnishings in the room mirrored that of the hotel..depressing, worn out, and in need of updating. There was ONE PLUG in the entire room. I was not even going to write this review because it is clear that this hotel has been left behind - it did not look or feel like the other NOVATELs we’ve stayed at. The entire property including the exterior of the building needs care and a ‘relooking.’ THIS REVIEW IS BEING WRITTEN BECAUSE THE RESTAURANT IS EXCEPTIONAL. OUR MEAL, INCLUDING A WONDERFUL LOCAL BOTTLE OF WINE, RECOMMENDED BY OUR SERVER PUMARINO RUBEN, WAS DELIGHTFUL. OUR TIME SPENT WITH HIM WAS FUN AND ENJOYABLE. THANK YOU MR. RUBEN FOR YOUR GRACIOUS HOSPITALITY AND FOR SHARING YOUR LOCAL KNOWLEDGE WITH US. OUR DINNER WAS THE BEST PART OF OUR STAY!
