I stayed in family room on 8th floor. The room cleanliness was a bit questionable. The floor was uneven and carpet has seen better days (bit sticky too!). Water tank was under maintenance so water could be in off color (green).
Asked for laundry bag and inside had whitish residue that I just immediately didn’t dare to use it.
Shower mat wasn’t replaced with a new one despite it was wet and just flipped over. Sink was leaking. Trash can was rusted and dinged badly.
It’s supposed to be a 4-star hotel but maintenance and cleanliness made me doubtful that it could still be considered a 4-star. A 2.5 is more likely.
Oh breakfast too… fried rice was literally rice being fried on a pan without eggs or even meat. They will only add sliced chilis to make it “spicy”.
Honestly, this was my first experience staying in a Novotel chain and it made me want to avoid the chain for good.

THE WORST, NOT RECOMMENDED

We order 4 non smoking rooms and 2 double bed for each room. Once we got there they give us 4 smoking room and 1 queen bed on each room.
If the hotel doesn't have non smoking room available at the first place, why on the website show available.
It's a SCAM, we have minor traveling with us and the room still smell cigarette even after they do the treatment.
The fourcet on the sink is shaky.
The front desk is awfull, don't know what they doing.

I would have given an excellent rating except when we arrived after a 7 hour train ride we were given a smoking room that was dirty and run down. Fortunately I showed them our request for non-smoking and they moved us. These little things matter when navigating a foreign country.

We have stayed at the Novotel in Solo several times and have always been happy with their service. There is a great little restaurant across the street—Alamama. It has western and Indonesian options. The restaurant at the hotel is always very good too.

Comfy stay in Solo

Very nice stay in Solo.
All staff had been very helpful and courteous.
Room and all facilities were clean.
What needs to be improved is the bathroom: hand-held shower head and rain shower head badly need to be replaced.

Not the best if you are a light sleeper...

I had a 2-night reservation at the Novotel and decided to leave after the first night even though I would lose some money. The air conditioning compressor was so loud it made sleeping very difficult. The room key didn't work and I went to the front desk several times for new keys to be used. The condition of the hotel is adequate but not up to the images used for marketing purposes. Price-wise the hotel is fine for what they are offering but I was able to get a superior hotel for Friday night and so I decided to vacate my room and move to another property to get a quiet sleep for my last night in town.

Cozy in Solo

The place was great, gives you a great feel of Solo. Food was above average. Staff are very nice and very helpful. One incident that's a bit of a turnoff. Coming back from my hotel room after a day's work, I saw my room door open. Nothing's missing and probably someone just forgot to properly shut it after room cleaning, so I didn't bother complaining. Quite alarming at that time though.

A good choice in Solo

This is every thing you would expect a Novotel to be - clean, comfortable, and well-appointed with no surprises - good or bad. The bed was comfortable, the air conditioning worked, and the TV offered several English-language stations with choice of movies as well as news. Wi-fi was OK if a but slow. We stayed on the Executive Floor, which gave us a nice view (higher floor) as well as access to the Executive Lounge for a modest increase in price. The in-house restaurant was OK but not great. The the spa offers an excellent massage for a very reasonable price. It is also right across the street from the Batik museum, which is worth a visit.

Well located, functional, great staff.

The hotel was busy due to the long weekend, but the staff make any stay enjoyable with their can-do attitude and friendly Javanese style. Taxis and rickshaws are available outside, but the property is well located for those who may like to explore the city on foot. \"Car Free Day\" on Sunday is a good opportunity to mingle with the local people, as everyone is out and about between 6:00 and 9:00am.

Great business stay at the Novotel!

Great experience here while staying in Solo for work. The room was very comfortable, the staff was helpful and professional, and the location was great. I enjoyed the breakfasts and dinners, especially sitting on the patio for a much-needed moment of relaxation at the end of the day. Airport dropoff for 25,000 IRD is definitely a plus. Only wish they'd been able to provide stamps for international mail, but that's a tiny detail. I'd definitely stay here again!

Good hotel in good location.

The only reason I did not give it 5/5 was the dining facilities. They moved the restaurant to the ball room because of renovation. As it was Ramadan, we opted for pre-dawn supper (sahur) instead of breakfast. The first night, we arrived at 04:00, the food was mostly gone. The second day, we arrived at 03:00, which coincided with World Cup Final, the food was not ready. We needed to wait until 04:00 for the buffet to be completely spread.

Clean and comfortable place to stay.

The hotel has been renovated and the rooms are very clean with free WiFi. I enjoyed the stay and a dinner at the hotel restaurant. FYI, I requested a room with a king bed, but I got 2 twin beds instead. The hotel has a strange rule that does not let you stay in the king bed room, if you are staying more than one night. Did not bother me after all.
