Novotel Solo is still a nice hotel to stay. It is my 4th stay. Although there is a renovation in 7th floor but overall is still good. And one thing i always wait for is the lovely breakfast. I really love the fresh salad and great bakery.... the taste never changes. I do love it.

the hotel definitely need renovation. some wooden furniture from the elevator to the room is a bit worn and aged. definitely below novotel standard. it's a lot different when you compare it with another novotel, like in Bali, Jakarta, or even Jogja. this is the worst novotel i ever stayed. however the staff were good, the service was fine, the...

We have nice service from the receptionist, although a bit dissapoint us since our request of a kingsize bedroom unavailable, but they still attempt to find us a room. Although it is a bit old hotel, it is well maintained. We stay comfortably for a night. This hotel also have strong solo traditional culture taste. For breakfast, they provide guest... More

Among all the club or executive floors of premium hotel I have visited for the past few year, the is probably the most unacceptable 'Business Floor', as it read out on the the life button, level 7. There are only two very incapable young female staff working there, and all flight reconfirmation, room change, tour assistance have to have me... More

Just-average hotel in Solo. Compared to the other hotels I stayed at with the same price point, I felt that I overpaid. I felt like I was in an Ikea store. Breakfast buffet is large but I wished they offered more fruit choices. Bad coffee. Novotel is in a decent location close to the antique market and smaller palace.

Gave the hotel another chance because of it's staff and location but wont be going back. Then reception staff as always were very helpful, with the older restaurant staff as fabulous as ever, however some of the newer staff seem to wander around aimlessly and dont seem to enjoy their job. The food is ok but not much has changed... More

I stayed at the Novotel on an Agoda special off-peak deal, so it was pretty good value for money. That said, the place could do with some updating. The rooms are nice but the wifi is terrible. You can only get a good connection in the bar and restaurant. Another annoyance was that your room key would erase if placed... More
