Hotel Novotel a Toronto

The Novotel Toronto North York was good for a place to sleep in a convenient location to good stores and the subway, but I would only stay here if I needed a place to crash in North York. Check in was very quick and the service was good. Amenities and hotel decor seemed a bit dated though. There were strands of the previous guest hair in a corner of the bathroom that did not seem to be cleaned well enough and then the night of my shower, the drainage was a little bit slow. The water pressure on the 15th floor for my room also seemed to be a little low. TV channels for the cable service were also lacking signal at random points throughout the broadcast. At least the channels broadcasting PBS and the Olympics were still flawless, so that was a plus.

I stayed at this hotel for three nights and overall had a pleasant experience. The location is excellent – conveniently situated near key attractions and public transport, which made getting around the city very easy. The reception staff were warm, friendly, and helpful throughout my stay, which added a nice personal touch to the service. The room was clean and adequately equipped for a short stay. However, the main downside was the poor soundproofing. I could clearly hear people talking in the corridor, as well as the frequent noise of doors opening and closing, which affected the overall comfort, especially at night. Despite that, it was a decent stay with good service and a great location. With some improvements in sound insulation, it would be a much more comfortable experience.
