Novotel Ha Long Bay

My room 916 has several issues. It is not soundproof, and I can hear the kids next door screaming and playing. The drainage in the shower stall is clogged with hair. The toilet does not have a bidet sprayer. The mini-fridge is old. The hotel is located near the city square, where they play loud DJ music until midnight, which is a nightmare for anyone who wants to rest. My wife has to wear her AirPods to block out the loud music. The outdoor pool on the first floor does not have a dressing room. As a result, guests after swimming need to return to their rooms to change their clothes, which inevitably wets all the elevators. The food is average or below average. Overall, I would not recommend this hotel.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

We booked a family Deluxe Room at the hotel at it stated it slept 4 people and came with a Sofa Bed and a day Bed. The Sofa bed ended up being a bench that the hotel wanted to charge us for. After confirming that the 'Sofa Bed' was included in the booking they wanted to charge us for the sheets and pillow for it?? The room was really nice, but the information on the booking was incorrect and our older son was not able to sleep on a bench for a few nights. We ended up checking out after an hour and took a loss on the booking as I was not able to get a refund. I booked a hotel down the block that was more comfortable and accommodating. I was very disappointed with Novotel as the hotel was completely empty and they could have provided us with a room that would have worked for my family. Especially when the booking stated it slept 4 people and came with a Sofa Bed...which it did not. Very disappointed in the service provided.

This hotel is not suitable for families with young children. There is loud music until midnight every day. The backside of the building is partly damaged. The carpark has no proper lightnings and is messed up with a lot of old stuff (motor cycling parking). Inside our apartment there have been a lot of ants. Generally this hotel has seen his best years already and need to be maintained significantly.

i could not sleep beacause It was performimg and concert late at night in front of Hotes of City hall park area and Too many kids chatttering in the corridors of the hotel does not take any restrictions
