Poster: A snowHead
|
Just wondering if anyone else has booked Novotel Troyes this summer?
We booked it some months ago through Novotel, partly because we have stayed in other Novotels and liked them, partly due to the fact I have an Accor card and wanted to collect the points. I thought I'd have a quick look at Trip Advisor to see the latest reviews and have discovered that it has now been sold by Novotel to Golden Tulip hotels.
I am feeling a little frustrated. Firstly Novotel still haven't informed us that they have sold the hotel. I tried to contact them and they just directed my email to Golden Tulip who have said they have my reservation which is non changeable non refundable. Seems a little unfair that they can change us to a hotel in a different chain yet we are not notified or given the option to cancel and book an alternative Novotel. I assume we will not get the Accor points now.
I don't think I've stayed in a Golden Tulip hotel so no idea what to expect..are they a similar quality/standard to Novotel?

Is that the one out at Barbery? If so it's quite a long way out of town near a commercial centre. I've stayed near there and seen it, looked pretty much like any other tbh.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

snowymum, have a look at their website. It looks OK, much like when it was a Novotel.

Colin B - I believe it is somewhere near the Airport. Haven't stayed there before.
Hells Bells - Hard to tell that much from the website. However we booked it because it was a Novotel (and there are certain things we like about the chain), not because we wanted to spend a night in a hotel near Troyes airport! If it had been a golden tulip at the time of booking we would have booked a different Novotel (probably Dijon Sud where we stayed last year) instead.

snowymum, Yes that's the one, on the outskirts, I normally stay in a B&B nearby. There's a huge Geant nearby too.

snowymum, frustrating as there is a Mercure and an Ibis in Troyes where you could have got your points (presumably).

Golden Tulip- does that have a Blue Oyster Bar?

snowymum, I've stayed in several Golden Tulips in NL and they're quite similar to Novotels. Some are better, some not so good, but OK in general and I would say rather less formulaic than Novotels.
