Novotel Semarang

Good location, great and consistent staff attitude, excellent room.

Complimentary airport transfers a definite plus and pleasant design.

The hotel also provided us with free transportation to the airport which was a nice touch.

For an unbelievable promotional rate we got a very nice room with decent furnishing and design plus a clever bathroom.

We stayed for 3 nights and paid to upgrade to the larger corner rooms on the 7th floor after being assigned to the smaller superior rooms (which are not bad either, but we just wanted more space).

The only downside I can think of are the hard mattress & the tiny wall pictures which are pathetic and completely out of place for the modern bedroom.

This hotel is like the one in Solo except everything is new in the room.

It is fairly luxurious and the cable tv channels make the price worthwhile.

The live singing trio group at the bar & restaurant was rather annoying (better off with lounge music) however the food quality was decent.

Shopping centre with food hall and local restaurants within easy walking distance.

Large restaurant, good gymnasium and avge swimming pool.

The complimentary breakfast is mix of Indonesian and western fare, with 2 chefs behind a counter on hand to cook various types of noodles on request.

The restaurant is called Square (if i remember correctly) and located on the 2nd level.

The very polite & helpful staff members answer the phone with Bonjour day or night; they attend classes at the local Alliance Francaise.

Friendly professional staff, they can't do enough for you sometimes.

Rooms clean tidy and what you would expect of an international chain but they do seem to go the extra mile to make your stay a warm one.
