Novotel Rouen Sud

We had a very good stay at the Novotel. We chose the hotel to charge our Tesla and have a good night's rest while driving home after our holiday and it was a good choice. The room and the bed were comfortable, dinner and breakfast were very good, with a great variety of dishes, and the personnel was warm and friendly. When we go on our next holiday in France we have found a place where we'll definitely stop!

The pool was tiny with bars around it and damaged flooring. The surrounding garden area has broken floor tiles and rusty seats. The breakfast was a joke, there was not enough food or drink and the machines kept breaking. The rooms were old fashioned, creepy and unclean. The staff were rude and acted as though they couldn’t care less about our concerns.

We were given a room that has been renovated!!! Bugs on the carpet in the corridor. Be aware that dogs share the same part of the hotel as those with no pets! can you imagine what you might be walking on? KEEP YOUR SHOES ON. The toilet cover had not been cleaned for a long while (yellow). The new bathroom: water does not drain, the drain cover was very dirty, the shower tray was so slippery that a towel was required in order to have a shower safely, the finish of the bathroom was appalling at best peeling ceiling, corners of the shower not sealed. Extractor fan full of dust. One bathrobe was stained and smelly returned on arrival. The following day we discovered that one of the bath towels had the same issue, returned to the front desk, unable to complain to a manager as it was sunday! and no-one bothered to contact me in 4 weeks (only after I sent a very long email with photos). The king size bed is in fact 2 singles put together, but not tied together which mean that you sink in between the 2 beds if you happen to be in the middle of the bed! See standard reply from the manager ignoring all the issues raised. Whilst the location is perfect the fact that THE BATHROOM, TOILET AND BEDROOM ARE NOT CLEAN is not acceptable.
