Novotel Chandigarh Tribune Chowk

I was only meant to stay at the property for three nights but I was glad to extend for a further two nights rather than transfer to the Hyatt or JW Marriott as planned. I’ve stayed in many hotels across Punjab and in particular Chandigarh and I assure you that you won’t find a better hotel, with better staff, accommodation, location or value for money in the whole of Chandigarh or the Tri-State area. The rooms were clean and tidy and the beds were comfortable, the bathrooms adequate with a great two piece shower, both overhead and handheld. The property has a Porsche sales area in the lobby which is great for car enthusiasts having two models on show when you walk in, the bar operates 24hrs and serves a very good range of beverages, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic as well as bar food and snacks too. The open air dining and casual seating is also very good for those who don’t want to sit indoors, with ample cooling fans and TV screens outside to watch sports etc. A special mention for the wonderful staff at the property, from the gatekeepers to the door staff, to the check-in desks and concierge too, all very welcoming and engaging and they made my stay at the hotel all the more pleasant. Thank you to MJ at the front desk for helping me with a pin to change my SIM card when he saw me struggling with a bent safety pin. Thanks to Taruna, Vikas and Mohit the DMs who were always more than happy to help me with anything I needed. Mohit the Manager (not Mohit the DM, yes there’s too many Mohits here lol) was always leading by example in the way he engaged with me and other guests and should be proud of his team. Pool Bar Manager Sumit was how I expect any F and B staff to be, polite, engaging and attentive, the little thins like walking over to change my ash tray (albeit telling a junior member to do it) his juniors would do well to follow in his footsteps. Nightshift bar staff Simran and Kamal the server and room service attendant were great too!

If I was really picky I’d say not having the pool (YET, as they’re currently constructing one by the fitness centre on the 6th floor) and no Spa is what stop this property from being truly standout. That and the fact I think Mohit and the management team should encourage more confident interaction with guests by ALL members of staff, not just the duty managers in blue jackets, that’s all, nothing major at all but if I had to say something that’s what I would say. But I stand by what I said earlier, pound for pound, rupee for rupee, dollar for dollar or whatever currency you’re paying in, this hotel is the best value and all round nicest place to stay in the whole of Chandigarh

Novotel Chandigarh at Tribune chowk is a very nice hotel. The Ambience is awesome of the hotel and so is the decor. The check in is smooth the staff at reception is friendly warm welcoming and nice. The rooms are clean with all the facilities and the room service boys are prompt in service and hard working. The food at the resturant is tasty and the menu selection during the breakfast was awesome. In room dining food was customized for me which was tasty and nice. Overall Novotel Chandigarh is a very nice place and it has people with the right attitude of hospitality working in it. During my stay the occupancy was low, I hope we get the same attention service and warmth even if the occupancy is at the peak.

Although towels were clean but they were worn out and looked shabby. The in room dining quantity for the food ordered was pretty less.

1) The rooms were decent sized. Not to big but not too small either. Bathroom was nice and functional 2) Bfast area,was nice and spacious. 3) Gym was new and all equipment was in excellent working condition.

1) The towels were terrible. Looked old. Just didn't have the whiteness of a fresh towel 2) Same with bed linen 3) The bfast paranthas were good but the stuffing was not as tasty.

It’s a classy property. What a room fabulous goona stay again and again here. Worth the money. And specifically breakfast was so delicious 😋 and washroom was dashing. Overall property was worth it. Must stay in Novotel.

Loved the property.

Overall very comfortable and relax experience .. Very Courteous staff and excellent food ideal location and access.

Dental kit need to be addressed ... The tooth cleansing Tablet is very difficult to open.. old tube was a better idea.

Good location, smooth check-in, good service. Special mention to the Shailesh who served me the breakfast at the food exchange.His genuine hospitality and smile is infectious and next level. Over all good experience.

Nothing

Very attentive and friendly staff in all areas: Reception, bar and cleaning. Small but good gym, nice views from the top. Also the specious rooms and cleanliness are very good. Definitely would recommend a stay.

Pool wasn't operated.

Everything about Novotel was special. The room, the stay, the service, the staff Rushi, Aman, Nonni, Shilpi, Ritu. If you want to be pampered.. just take a day off and relax here at Novotel

Nice location but buffet breakfast was ok can be improved

Nothing as such except the upkeep needs attention room articles like kettle etc not clean and working or broken but overall good

The restaurant staff were exceptional and the breakfast was amazing. Bed and sheets were very comfortable.
