    Breakfast was good but monotonous, every day same meals nothing changed except the tables where we sat & had our breakfast. As a vegetarian choices were very less. Would have loved few more things.

    We were quite pleased with the Novotel. While not huge, the room was comfortable for our three-person group. It was clean and in good condition. The location was excellent -- very close to Old Town attractions while also being quiet.
