The hotel could do with a refurbishment in some areas. The hallways are somewhat "Tatty". The air conditioner was either too cold or too hot and noisy with no facility to switch off entirely. The bedside lamps did not work. There are no USB points in the room. The bar and restaurant staff were very friendly and helpful as were the concierge staff. The room was quiet. The elevators appear to be an ongoing concern for the hotel as one is still under repair and the other stopped working on one of the evenings we were there, being mobility challenged that was a struggle.

The hotel is in the centre of the city, only walking distance from all of the major attractions. The trams are free withing the commercial district. The hotel's lift didn;t work for most of or stay and we had to walk up to the reception area around 10 flights. there was no explanation from staff and no appology. We will never stay there again and probably never stay in another NOVA Hotel

Location excellent. That's about it. 1) Noise from workmen from outside as soon as we arrived fri afternoon, all morning Sat. Needs to be stated and price reduced. Not worth $250 a nite. 2) Bar fridge not working 3) Plug for hairdryer in Bathroom not working. Staff siad the master switch needed to be on. Tried that, still nothing. If thats the case suggest a wriiten note claiming so. 4) Rang Sat am for milk as only one in bar fridge. Rang 3 times, with staff saying they would bring up. I ended up going downstairs to retieve. Very poor service. Just for milk in our coffee. 5) Concierge helpful when we were leaving. Woeful Disappointed.

Novotel on Collins is brilliantly located and reasonably priced with accommodating, friendly staff. The rooms are pleasant enough, and the lifts are fast. Ideal when you’re not spending a lot of time in you room and just need somewhere to shower and sleep.
