Nice Hotel. Service could be better.

We stayed overnight on 11 July 2019. Ideally located just off the motorway. Reception was fast, efficient and friendly. The room was bright and comfortable. Hotel staff were very good, apart from the lady who appeared to be in charge of the bar, who was rude and unhelpful. She had cut her finger and maybe that accounted for her sourness. The restaurant was in a lovely location next to a woodland stream. But it was very busy and service was slow. The food when it arrived was ok. If you have the choice, eat out. You are spoilt for choice and Valence also has a 3 Michelin star restaurant which featured in Masterchef. One hint - if you are going into town either drive or ask reception to order a taxi out and back. We were given a map by reception and walked. The walk is along a busy main road with no pavement and is dangerous and alarming. On phoning the official taxi number for the return journey we were told there were no taxis! We had to repeat the walk along the road back.

Loved our stay!

My husband and I stayed here with our 5 month old baby boy as a stopover on the way back to London and really liked this hotel just outside the city centre of Valence. The rooms are simple and comfortable, the breakfast and restaurant really good and the staff was friendly and accommodating. I loved the terrace at the back, a very peaceful setting under the trees and next to a little stream. Would definitely come back!

Well located ed hotel just off the motor way, clean room, ok size friendly reception staff who spoke English. However the restaurant service was a joke, took over 20 to have our order taken, given only one menu, took another 40 mins to be served our food (also came out as the wrong order but we are it anyway as were so hungry). I would suggest eating elsewhere as although the restaurant settings is nice with pretty views etc the staff spoke little English and so avoided our table (my husband, one year old and myself). The kids play area as advertised is little more then a small room with a games table. Nice pool

Nice hotel, let down by its restaurant

Arrived after a 700 mile drive so was greatful of a super fast check in. Room was clean and comfortable.

We headed to the pool which was busy but fine. The hotel has a lovely outside space to relax

We had dinner at the hotel as we were tired from the long trip. Both my wife and I had the steak, 200 Gramms. Mine was around 150 gramms fat and gristle, my wife’s marginally better. We ordered my son the fish, chips and peas. The peas never arrived.

The breakfast buffet was a little better but somewhat chaotic.

My advice would be to stay but make sure you eat elsewhere.

AC turned off

I came to my room late as I was traveling on business. Straight after checking I have had dinner in the hotel restaurant. When I got to the room the air inside was quite warm so I setup AC to low before going to bed.
I woke up in the morning parched. When I complaint in reception they said that management has made decision that it wasn't that hot outside so AC system was turned off, but the good news is that they are going to turn it on for the following night. Well shame I didn't stay with them for the next night.

Good hotel for a road trip

An excellent hotel for travelers needing a place to stay on a road trip. This is a budget hotel but the rooms are comfortable and clean and the service meets the needs of overnight travelers. There are spacious grounds and we didn't feel like we were in a mass of roadside hotels and fast food establishments. We also found the hotel restaurant to be pleasant with good (but not gourmet) food.

Not what I expected for a Novotel

When we arrived (after midnight), we were negatively surprised to find one of the two rooms not well serviced. The linen for one of the beds had not been changed and our first impression as we walked into the room is that it was taken by somebody else. Not a nice surprise when you arrive so late at night after many hours of driving.

Good hotel, it was very busy but the service at dinner was poor. Very slow to take our order and we waited 20 minutes for our bill and eventually only got it because we waited at the exit until they brought it. A strange system were they had lots of staff but only 1 person both taking the orders and doing all the bills. Shame as the pool is lovely and the food was good but service spoiled it, Also we left behind my daughter's teddy bear which they had not kept for us (we realised 2 days later and called them) so we lost it.

Overall good - but restaurant service lacking

Everything about our stay was good, except for our dealings with the restaurant. We only wanted a small bite to eat, but were ushered to a table. We then waited 20 minutes for someone to take an order (drinks or food), so gave up and ordered room service. Could have been an off night / not enough staff etc, but slightly tarnished an overall good stay.

Great place to stay on business

I have regularly stayed here on business trips. It is reasonably convenient for the Autoroute and industrial areas. It is not the cheapest place in town but it is thoroughly dependable and the service is excellent. I often arrive very late at night after travelling all day. I have always been able to get something to eat and drink, despite the late hour. The rooms are very comfortable although you will struggle to find much on the TV in the English language. The free WiFi makes up for that and it is accessible all over the hotel, including the lounge and bar. The breakfasts are good with the traditional French offerings supplemented with sausage, bacon and scrambled egg.

Nous avons dîner à l'hôtel, nous avons été installé immédiatement....le serveur avait oublié de nous enregistrer et 25 mn d'attente alors que nous avions réservé....Quand le repas est arrivé très rapidement il faut l'avouer mais froid...Peut-être la faute à la malchance !!!! En tout cas l'ecoute n'était vraiment pas au rendez-vous.
Il faut savoir que les chambres donnant sur l'arrière ( forêt petite rivière) était disponible mais aucun geste de la direction...
Mais comment peut on attribué 4 étoile s à un hôtel novotel comme celui ci.
En résumé je suis plus que déçu.
