Worst of the Novotel we have stayed

Vacation | Family We had a horrible experience at Novotel. Firstly we had prepaid two rooms for 2 nights. We were stuck in Zermatt due to storm and messaged asking them to cancel one day and requested if they can refund. They didn't respond. Next day we messaged letting them know that we are on the way and we will be checkinf in for the night, again no response. When we finally made it late at 9 PM for 2nd night. They said our booking doesn't exist and after showing the receipt amd proof of my emails they said they gave our rooms due to no-show. The receptionist was very rude. When I asked at the bar if I could order take out for kids; the staff was rude and and said no instead of helping me. Eventually after arguments the rooms thry gave us were a downgrade from what we had booked. They basically charged us for two nights and gave us a downgraded room for one night. I have traveled and stayed in Novotel in Paris, Brussels, Costa Rica but never had such a bad experience.

Liked the easy 5 minute walk to Hardbrucke rail station. It's in a quiet and safe area of the city. The pool was good although a little on the cool side. The room was quite spacious and comfortable. We slept really well.

We touched down in Zurich at 8 am after a long 10-hour flight with our two kids, and we couldn’t believe our luck! The hotel was so accommodating – they helped us with an early check-in and didn’t even charge us! I was absolutely relieved and grateful for that. The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and spoke an impressive variety of languages, which made us feel right at home. The hotel itself is spotless, modern, and in a fantastic location. The restaurant had delicious food, and the drinks were refreshing, all served with amazing hospitality. It was such a wonderful experience!

Bed was awful, so uncomfortable. I’ve had the worst couple of nights sleep in a hotel ever. The pool was freezing cold so my son could only swim for a short time as he was so cold. The staff were pleasant but that’s about it. This establishment is not 4 stars…Avoid at all cost!
