Novotel Palembang

Great place, nice vibes. Just not too well maintained

Amazing travel

Nice resort at city, big room and comfort I got a room upgrade, because the room I ordered was full

The place is nice and spacious but kind of old

Sprawling complex, takes awhile to walk from place to place. Boring mall next to it. Breakfast can be better.

Very stylish hotel - but 15 min out of centre of town, and food and drink very expensive. This is INdonesia - why are we paying £3 for a small bottle of mineral water, and £10 for breakfast? Also ... Accor makes a big noise about sustainability - but still provides guests with water in single use plastic bottles. Get with the programme! Provide us with water fountains/dispensers and reusable containers for our rooms.

Love the decor and layout. Disappointed with hotel services (the human side, the hospitality). Not sure if their good spoken English translates to good understanding and effective action. Information abt Le Club Accor was by discovery. Found brochure left at reception and on shelf. No hotel staff enquired if I were a member. At chk in, we spent a good half hour or so, arguing abt Expedia Price Summary. Hotel staff kept saying it was a deposit (when I showed her Expedua document). Night before chk out, we went to reception to pay final bill. Billing items were incorrect. Charges for driver incorrect. She had to call hotel rep to confirm. Charges for F&B without 30% discount for Le Club Accor mbrs despite giving thm my mbrship number at chk in. Paid bill after finalised. Next morning, we were walking to the car for airport txfr whn recption staff hurriedly walked up to us. He asked if we chipped the edge of room kettle. I replied, it was already chipped whhn we came in on 1st day. I actually took a photo of chipped kettle on our 1st day, thinking ahead that hotel might blame us for it and demand to charge it. He apologised. Overall, the "not human" side of the whole experience was great but not the reverse. Novotel is a brand. Hotel staff must keep up with the brand. I would give 2 star for the hotel services based on my 3D2N stay at Novotel Palembang.

Not too bad for a business stay

Very pleasant hotel with attentive staff. Even when it is hot, the circular design means that you can walk around in the shade!

Stayed in this hotel twice and will stay again. Reception staff(guy) a bit stiff, no priority given despite being an Accor Plus member to check in early at 12pm, have to wait (excuse- room not ready). Follow up with another lady staff half hour later, then only ok to check in.
