Our check-in 'welcome' was not 'welcoming'. Mechanical would be a better description. Other than that the location and room were excellent. If i were to be really picky i could have pointed out to the hotel staff (but i didn't) that the TV image has been set to the wrong size making it hard to read some titles near the... More

Hotel is probably best standard in Hamilton. Good price friendly & clean. Breakfast nothing to write home about but adequate. Double shot latte was as good as you get in Rome Italy. The coffee was impressive.

I stay here several times a year as its the only nice central city accomodation. The foyer and outside deck area for coffee is modern and attractive and from the hotel you can walk straight on to the river path as well as be in easy reach of businesses and shops. My recent stay was for 5 days and I... More

Centrally located, the best thing about this hotel are its helpful, friendly staff. The rooms are functional, modern, business like, nothing special, but all you would need. A pity the windows didn't open, but all amenities and alright. A walk over the bridge to claudelands conference centre, but all in all convenient and what you would expect for this type... More

At dinner with extended family the waitrons removed dinner plates from some people while others of us were still eating - well that made us feel welcome (yeah right). It's rubbish to get that kind of service in a hotle that claims to be 4+ stars. Worse was the next morning when guests walked into the dining room in barefeet... More

I stayed here one night on a holiday. The hotel is a typical modern Novotel - clean room, helpful staff. My only bug-bear was that the minibar fridges were out of action (there was a note at check in indicating this would be fixed shortly). Location wise, the hotel is well located in the Hamilton CBD - near restaurants, the... More

While there is not huge competition in quality hotels in Hamilton, Novotel is probably the best choice and overall is a pretty solid hotel. Rooms were good, breakfast was good, and they do have some facilities such as sauna and spa. Location is also good being central and close to the river. Overall I would recommend this hotel when staying... More

I live in Auckland during the week and frequently travel to Hamilton as a get away. We've stayed in the Novotel Tainui before and have had many pleasant experiences. An A+++ Place. A must to experience; looking for luxury whilst still within an affordable price range then look no further.

Novotel Hamilton is in a great central location. Handy to good restaurants and the casino. Room was very clean and fresh. The only thing I didn't like was that the mini bar fridge wasn't running so the drinks were not cold. We had to order a bucket of ice from room service. Also, when we tried to phone housekeeping for... More
