Sadly Not what I expected from Novotel

I’m afraid I would not stay here again. Mixed service from staff for example one day the lifts weren’t working and despite big queues of people no member of staff went to tell them to use the service lift . (They had put up signs but not everyone could read the language). Also when the lift opened it was pitch black. The beds were never made up properly, literally the duvet pulled back over. Sheets were poor quality and scratchy. Our view wasn’t good at all. Food for breakfast was actually okay although they coffee machines produced about a tablespoon of coffee not matter what type you chose. On the positive the hotel is located close to public transport and does have some good facilities for families. There is a small pool and sauna but I never saw anyone working on the reception there. Oh one thing to be aware of - it’s located close to hospitals I think because the noise from ambulances and police was unbelievable some nights - if you go take ear plugs!
Our ‘made up bed’
Again our ‘made up’ bed.
Our view - there was no window behind that other curtain

First night out air conditioning was not working and it the 36C heat of Budapest and being in the top floor it was unbearable. They were accommodating the first night and supplied ud with fans and the second night we got moved to a working air conditioned room. The hotel was very clean and the staff very nice. Breakfast was amazing with a wide variety of different foods.
