Très bon accueil, avec un réel effort pour nous fournir nos chambres avant l'heure normale d'arrivée. Chambre propre, salle de bain avec baignoire, lit confortable, mais malheureusement un drap était taché. Piscine agréable avec serviettes et casiers à disposition, mais il manque un véritable espace pour se changer (les cabines prévues à cet effet ne ferment pas à clé...). Petit-déjeuner très correct, même si l’ambiance était un peu bruyante. Nous n'avons pas testé le restaurant pour les repas, mais le service pour boire un verre était inexistant : nous avons dû nous lever à chaque fois pour commander nos boissons, puis attendre assez longtemps avant qu'elles arrivent. Une bonne expérience dans l'ensemble, avec quelques points à améliorer.

Good hotel located close to Hardbrucke train station (7-10 minutes walk) which is 10 minutes from airport or city centre. There is a big Co-op nearby which is very convenient. Swimming pool opens until 11pm which allows flexible plans for customer. Overall a good stay and decent choice for travellers in Zurich

Close to train station and car rentals, Novotel offered all the amenities. Special mention for the lady at the front desk that took extra care to answer all our questions (sorry do not have a name). Property mentions a pool but it's more a leisure one and tends to be quite crowded.

Stayed with family for a week. Good points: - Staff were helpful Areas not so good: - Housekeeping was poor, piles of dirt under the bed and on the AC vent. (Not cleaned despite informing reception) - One of the window blind was broken. - No hair conditioner provided and did not refill the handwash till asked. - Room size was very small and not suitable for family. - Milk was off in one occasion, ran out of Olives once - There appears to be shortage of staff at breakfast - No option to request an omelette/ live cooking - Premises shared with IBIS hotels - kids play area was removed and converted as a waiting area for air Canada crew. - Asked for 20 Franc deposit to issue a UK to EU plug converter. It is not a four star hotel but a good 3 star hotel.

Great location, easy to get to with public transit, great parking options. There is construction in the lobby so it’s not very useable. Our particular room was very dusty, it seemed like it hadn’t been used in a while and was not touched up prior to use. Amenities in the room extremely basic—no separate soap or shampoo, just one bottle. Two instant coffee packets with a kettle. Overall it was fine, but it was definitely not a four star hotel.

Our bed was two single beds pushed together so you kept falling down the middle of them during the night! Which meant me and my wife could not hug! The pillows were really hard, like rocks! Did not sleep very well. The morning buffet was so expensive, even though the kids were “free”, it was still 31 Swiss Franks per person!!

This hotel is a little bit outside of the city center. It was easy enough to get around and there are plenty of restaurants and grocery stores in the area. The pool was nice and my kids had fun playing in it after a long day. The room was very small and tight for a family of four but we made it work. The refrigerator is also very small so we couldn’t stock up on drinks.

The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. The strict early check in process was lengthy although I paid extra for it. They need to realize that a customer who have travelled far and is tired they need refreshment. so the staff needed to clean it up earlier espcially when I had contacted them early. The second issue was it was hard to get hold of hotel clerk over the phone from overseas.

I was very disappointed with the customer service from the Novotel Reservations team. Unfortunately, my wife fell sick and we had to cancel my plan partially. Even after describing the whole situation and sharing all the the travel documents with the Reservation department, they simply ignored my case and avoided to help. It was not expected from a reputed hotel like Novotel. If they care about their customer and discuss this matter further, I would love to talk to them.

There was absolutely no facilities which are bare minimum, like - no iron board or coffee machine or water bottles in the room. Staff was not available most of the time to make the sofa bed, and the worst of all - no one picks up the front desk phone. You literally need to walk down to them every time. Breakfast was decent and locality is well connected.

It was my wife and two 21 year old daughters staying at the Novatel for 5 nights for holiday from the States. . Rooms very clean. Hotel located in a good location. Not very touristy (which we like) but walkable to train station (about 20 minutes). Lots of restaurants to choose from on the walk toward train station. Grocery store across the street 2minute walk.

This property engages in the practice of renting your prepaid room to someone else if you arrive late, say after 10pm, banking on you might not show up until the next day, then they make double the money on your room. I arrived at 12:30am due to flight delays, my room was “oversold” and they sent me to another hotel. They did this even though my family had checked into their rooms already for our 3 nights stay and told them that I’d be arriving late. Even though the hotel covered all the expenses of sending me to another hotel for one night, including taxi service, it’s still a very poor experience. My son and I were exhausted from traveling for over 20 hours to get there, the additional hassle was not appreciated. Furthermore, it should be illegal to give away a room that was prepaid for a specific property. I do not recommend this hotel.
