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.
