Used this Novotel as a stop over. Was clean, is in need of an update, stair wells filled with bed linen, lifts not working, bar/restaurant had inattentive staff, but all were very polite when you managed to get someone.

More of a 3 star, not a 4 like many other Novotels we have stayed in, however the price was still very reasonable.

Don't bother.
Exceptionally rude and abusive staff.
According to the website, check-in is from 14.00.
Room not ready on arrival at 16.30 despite having checked in the day before online as requested and estimated our arrival time to be between 15.00-18.00.
First room had cleaning staff in it who were rude when we had the audacity to walk in wondering why the door should have been left open.
Second room given had not been cleaned properly, there was litter on the floor and the door lock broke on entry, which prompted the cleaner to shout at me in French in an abusive manner.
Third room was missing the coffee machine advertised on the website and the safe did not work.
Hotel lift was broken, so we had to carry our bags up the stairs to the third floor.
Breakfast buffet would have been good if food was replenished, but this was not done when things ran out so the remaining choice was minimal.
Nobody cared.
As well as shouting at us, the cleaner also spoke about me in French to the reception staff in an extremely insulting manner in the mistaken belief that I didn't understand what he was saying.
Absolutely dreadful, do not waste your money.
The male cleaner needs an anger management course, retraining or dismissal; he was absolutely vile towards us.

The breakfast was really poor. They had run out of everything an hour before the end of breakfast time. Clearing tables was so slow. No croissants, bread, pastries. We kept having to ask for a bowl or a plate as they weren’t replenishing anything.

There was an issue with the booking, I had booked for 3 nights, but they only had 2 nights booked on their system. Also their system was showing different prices, to the booking prices, so I had to agrue with them about the cost of each night. Lastly the aircon was not working in the bedroom, so we had to move rooms after the first night.

Hotel is in a run down relatively poor area as a result there were groups of young people hanging around and in the quieter areas we did not feel safe. Security of the car park was a concern.

The restaurant seemed under staffed and was in some disarray with long wait times and poor communication.

Don’t eat here if you have allergies

The worst place have ever eaten as a coeliac. Daughter was given ‘penne’ as a gluten free meal. It wasn’t a gluten free version. Some staff were doing their best to help and clearly hasn’t been given any training on allergies. One member of staff (and the allergen menu) said chips were gf, the next member of staff said they were not. Do not eat here if you have allergies. The staff were lovely and just doing their best.

Generally good. But the electric car charging facilities were very poor. Firstly they looked dangerous/ out of action and secondly they didn’t have commonly used plug sockets. The nearest alternative chargers are a long way away, which was extremely inconvenient. I won’t stay again unless they upgrade their electric chargers.

Nice place for a stop on the way through France. Outdoor pool and play area was great for kids!
Seems everyone else had the same idea!
Restaurant gets booked up quickly and we struggled to eat due to delays getting to the hotel with the now inevitable immigration delays at Caen port. Uber Eats to the hotel was a saviour.
Breakfast on the other hand was utterly appalling. Came down at 0830 to find the buffet completely devoid of food and the staff very slow to react and stock up. Even then it was limited. Not sure what the issue was that a breakfast advertised to 10am was lacking 90 mins before that.
If they sorted out the food and drink issues at this hotel, it would be a much better experience for all guests.

This s place is a dump. Filthy carpets, stained chairs, nicked up walls. The place looks like an 80’s roadside motel from the states that someone bought and attempt a facelift on. The lobby area is nice but the rest is crap. The hotel is located in an industrial area and boast a formidable fence and Elyria gate system to enter their grounds. We were truly taken aback after having spent several days in Villages in Western France. I wouldn’t even recommend this place to my ex wife! (Well, maybe!)

Novotel generally of d high standard with a pool and a good restaurant in a quiet area of south LeMans with private parking . However lift was out of order, stairwell was incredibly smelly and room was quite smelly. Breakfast service was a lower standard than usual with slow table clearing service even at the end of the breakfast period. There is an amazing bakery La Feuilette about half a mile from the hotel providing alternatives to the paid for breakfast. Novotels normally high standards were slipping a bit on this occasion, but on balance still a great stopover midway between southern France and Calais Eurotunnel.

Property itself is great as very modern. The issue was the temperature in the room. As a family of 4, we had the window wide open which of course then kept us awake with noise outside and we had to have the fan on. It was unbearable and my 7 month was really struggling. Throughout the night I had to go and stand in the corridor to get some air. We were told we were not able to move rooms and all the rooms are like this.

Disappointing

Staff were pleasant enough but this Novotel is nowhere near the usual standard. The decor is dated, especially the rooms themselves, and the reception consists of someone with a laptop sat at the end of a long table. Stayed on 2nd floor with very strange (unpleasant) smell in the communal hallway. Novotels are normally much better than this one

Horrible service and incident

We stayed in Novotel Le Mans. The hotel was very nice however we had a horrible incident occur and was told we would receive a full refund for our stay. My dad's room key wasn't working after breakfast Saturday morning. The front desk lady came up to fix it, not even the master key would work. The sensor was completely dead/broken. We waited 2 hours she still couldn't get in the room, we were extremely late for work and said we would come back when it was fixed. We couldn't wait any longer. My dad didn't have his computer, money, car keys, jacket, nothing it was all locked within the room. We then had to call a taxi to get to work and told the front desk lady that when they do get the door sensor to work to please call us and leave the door locked as we don't want our valuables being accessible. When we came back to the hotel, our hotel room was completely left unlocked and wide open, because they said 'well we didn't know if we could get back in'. We had a lot of valuables and money and specifically told them not to, which they had confirmed they understand and still deliberately went against our wishes because they weren't sure if they would be able to get it open again. They had no one there to monitor it or anything. They said they would have the manager call us Monday for a refund and to see how they could make this up to us. This whole situation was extremely hazardous, what if there was a baby or kid trapped in the room and they couldn't get in? or a fire?

Thumbs Up

They were renovating the lobby and the restaurant and seem to be making the best of it. They had already done the rooms. I have stayed here many times and I was impressed with the nice way they upgraded the rooms. The parking is quite ok but gets tight towards the evening. The surrounding area is residential so you need to eat in or go into town (10 minute drive) Wi-Fi signal always good in Novotels as they cater to business people..

Nice hotel just a shame about the beds.

The hotel was generally ok and quite clean, but the beds were rock hard and the kids had the sofa bed and the mattress was basically a bag of springs in the rough shape of a mattress rather than actually being something you could let someone sleep on - we needed to have one of the kids in the bed with us and use 3 duvets on top of the \"mattress\" spring bag thing to make it so that it could be slept on.

Three’s company, four’s a crowd!

Having booked in advance for a family room for four, providing details of all in party and ages of children. To then arrive get checked in for four and to then go to room and have beds for three wasn’t best. On reporting to reception and speaking to the same receptionist that booked us in, she then didn’t believe I had two children and that I booked a room for theee. She wouldn’t look at the booking on my phone and wanted to check her own records which clearly showed a room for four and that they had none left. They then squeezed a put me up bed into a room which was already tight for space. Not a great experience after a very long day and drive.

Novotel Le Mans was a story of two halves.

Hotel is a great stopping off point.
Staff helpful.
Family room was very very cramped and a little out of date but clean and comfortable.

Breakfast was chaos.
By 9am there were no cleaned tables - plenty of dirty ones.
I cleaned a table, set a table ( with some help ) most food, cups, plates, were gone. Coffee machine not working. I eventually gave up. It was like a school dining room with people left to work through the chaos. We had to ask again and again for different items. Eventually giving up.
What food there was was not good. I think it didn’t help feeling like we were at the end of service even though we were there an hour before breakfast finished. The staff were working hard - all were polite. They were just swamped.

Maybe we got a bad day but it made the start of a long drive a little fractious.

Not sure we’ll be back. Let’s see how reception react when I say i’m Not paying for breakfast.



I will be asking for breakfast
