Novotel Perpignan Hotel

We got a friendly and efficient reception. Unfortunately, that proved to be the only good aspect of our stay. We received an email the day before arrival telling us that we should check in at the neighbouring Ibis hotel due to work on the Novotel reception. There was no mention of extensive work going on in the restaurant/bar area. I have no idea whether the restaurant was even open as signage directed you in to what looked like building work. Contrast this with another hotel on our trip where far more minor work was going on that had no effect on our stay. However, we received three messages prior to our stay informing us of work being carried out. I feel that we should have received much more pre stay information about the building work and should have received it much earlier than the day before arrival. Our room looked dated and in need of a complete overhaul. It was far below the standard we’ve experienced at other Novotels. Very disappointing.

It's really handy for the airport and many years ago when I used to stay here it was very relevant due to the daily air traffic. Not so these days as the airport no longer has prominence. However, it's good enough for an overnight stay, especially if you use the A9 autoroute as it's accessible directly from there. In my opinion, it's seen better days. Although I'm able-bodied the room I was given was fitted for a disabled person and therefore was big and spacious. It was clean but the furniture had seen better days and the bed was a bit too saggy to be comfortable unlike most French Novotels I've used where the beds are new and very supporting. Service was effective and breakfast was pretty ordinary although there was a good range of breakfast foods. You'd expect that in France you'd get a good breakfast coffee, but here it comes from a machine these days and is pretty average so I opted for tea, for which there is a good range.

Professional and pleasant Welcoming; welcoming and very well equipped Novotel standard room Very quiet Restaurants nearby
