I would have given an excellent rating except when we arrived after a 7 hour train ride we were given a smoking room that was dirty and run down. Fortunately I showed them our request for non-smoking and they moved us. These little things matter when navigating a foreign country.

Not the best if you are a light sleeper...
I had a 2-night reservation at the Novotel and decided to leave after the first night even though I would lose some money. The air conditioning compressor was so loud it made sleeping very difficult. The room key didn't work and I went to the front desk several times for new keys to be used. The condition of the hotel is adequate but not up to the images used for marketing purposes. Price-wise the hotel is fine for what they are offering but I was able to get a superior hotel for Friday night and so I decided to vacate my room and move to another property to get a quiet sleep for my last night in town.

Cozy in Solo
The place was great, gives you a great feel of Solo. Food was above average. Staff are very nice and very helpful. One incident that's a bit of a turnoff. Coming back from my hotel room after a day's work, I saw my room door open. Nothing's missing and probably someone just forgot to properly shut it after room cleaning, so I didn't bother complaining. Quite alarming at that time though.

A good choice in Solo
This is every thing you would expect a Novotel to be - clean, comfortable, and well-appointed with no surprises - good or bad. The bed was comfortable, the air conditioning worked, and the TV offered several English-language stations with choice of movies as well as news. Wi-fi was OK if a but slow. We stayed on the Executive Floor, which gave us a nice view (higher floor) as well as access to the Executive Lounge for a modest increase in price. The in-house restaurant was OK but not great. The the spa offers an excellent massage for a very reasonable price. It is also right across the street from the Batik museum, which is worth a visit.

Well located, functional, great staff.
The hotel was busy due to the long weekend, but the staff make any stay enjoyable with their can-do attitude and friendly Javanese style. Taxis and rickshaws are available outside, but the property is well located for those who may like to explore the city on foot. "Car Free Day" on Sunday is a good opportunity to mingle with the local people, as everyone is out and about between 6:00 and 9:00am.
