This hotel was nothing flash. It was set in the heart of the Hamilton CBD. The room was a decent size and had air con. Alas our room #310 was situated directly across from the lift foyer so there was some background noise. The windows could not be opened making it a bit stuffy of a night but had a... more

Stayed at the Novotel Tainui for four days between the 18th to 22nd of February 2009. Booked the hotel through the Accor Hotels website.

There were hairs on the floor of our bathroom and the whole room just felt as if it hadn't been cleaned properly. They offer options like pillow... more

I've stayed in Novotels before but it wassome years ago and I wasn't overly impressed then because they had been very basic and functional - but this one was such a lovely surprise! We arrived at 7am after a 26 hour flight to be... more

We had a room at the back of the hotel, partially facing the river so it was quiet and had a decent view. The room was 'a typical, average hotel room' but clean and functional. The housekeeping was a bit hit-and-miss, particularly when it came to replenishing the coffee/tea tray, but a phone call to housekeeping usually fixed it very... more
