I choose to stay at Novotels everything I am offered the chance - service is usually at a very decent standard and I almost feel "safe" that I will have an enjoyable experience. This has taken me to Novotels in Moscow, Dubai, New York, Buenos Aires, Tokyo, Wellington, Sao Paulo, and now Rio. Maybe for the last time. How the mighty have fallen.... This is an absolute embarrassing hotel. From the reception (shared with Ibis) to the very VERY badly managed restaurants, I have never felt so let down by a hotel chain before. Room was filthy, toiletries were missing, and it must have the most absurd bathroom in any hotels in Rio... The probably hired an intern instead of a qualified architect to build the toilet area, and just forgot to ensure that one needs to open the door and get in... the photos must show how impossible it is for an average built adult to enter without making 'circle du soleil'-like contortionism. I tried the restaurant, waited for 25 minutes for a waiter and just gave up... they were too busy flirting with a table full of good looking girls instead of looking after the othet not so charming guests. The hotel is located on a not so safe area of Rio so wandering at night to find a decent restaurant is a big no, so I had to resort to one of the few delivery options. All in all, a horrendous experience and probably the last time I ever stay at a Novotel.
