Will definitely stay here again, nothing was a problem, only busy at breakfast times.

Breakfast was fine at the times I went-7.30 and 8.45 ish.

We had tickets to see Kelly and Mark in the morning and had to leave early and we couldn’t even get through the buffet line before that.

Lovely friendly staff, great breakfast, comfy bed.

Ideally situated, hotel was clean, comfortable rooms with excellent views, friendly staff, fantastic breakfast buffet which is a great start to a long day - would highly recommend!!

The buffet breakfast was more than reasonable, with multiple choice of both food and drink (repeated each day).

Everything was good from breakfast to sleeping to location.

The breakfast was superb with everything you could wish for.

Breakfast included which is great to start the morning without thinking where to eat.

The breakfast was excellent and filled us up until Dinner.

Lovely breakfast in the main (pancakes and waffles were a bit soft) and enough choice to not get bored.

Very comfortable hotel and really convenient for shopping and sightseeing amazing breakfast everyday.we would definitely book this hotel again the staff were very friendly and helpful nothing was too much trouble

The highlight of the day was the included breakfast that meant that we were well fuelled each morning and were able to grab just a snack when out saving time and money

The breakfast was ok, given the plethora of nationalities that they are catering for.

Our room was made up every day and breakfast was the best all in all we could not have asked for anything better….

The breakfast was also great with lots of choice and separate gluten free options, the chef was really friendly and happy to show me around the choices I had, even offering me separate gluten free bread and a muffin.

The decor is so tacky, and everything just felt so “unclean”, I can’t even describe it.

The hotel is quite new and the rooms were spotlessly clean and quite spacious for New York.

The room was big enough for us for 4 nights and very clean.

Clean and tidy rooms of a good size for New York.

It was great, very clean, lovely bathroom.

There are many better places to stay
, such as the Concorde.

Btw..turn right out the hotel and follow down to the Hudson.a great day to be had on the aircraft carrier ‘Intrepid’ a museum which also houses a space shuttle, submarine and The Concorde..all with tours.

Breakfast buffet is a bonus, if you time it right queuing is minimal and the choice and freshness was excellent.

Breakfast was complimentary and OK, no more, no less.

It's great the buffet breakfast was included

Breakfast was included and was simply superb.

The entire family really enjoyed our stay here with the free continental breakfast each morning (that had lots of variety) and the complimentary suite with food and beverages on the 26th floor for suite holders.

Excellent location and hotel, breakfast plenty off choice for everyone.

You get a lot less space in Paris so I didn’t expect anything like the beautiful suites you have in the Caribbean or tropical locations,

Otherwise a great hotel and well located.

Great location, only 5 minutes walk to the hustle and bustle of Times Square.

Great location a 10 minute walk from Times Square, friendly staff, efficient.

Staff were fabulous, hotel was centrally located with great amenities in and around.

The rooms are modern and surprisingly quiet given the hotel’s location.

The hotel itself is located a close walk to everything from the main hub at Times Square, to Central Park, Broadway, Grand Central Station.

We loved our stay at  the Riu plaza the location of the hotel was great just a short walk to Times Square.

Perfect location and walking distance for Times Square and Central Park.

Great location centrally positioned within Manhattan.

The location is perfect to get to various attractions.

A good hotel in a central location convenient for all the best tourist spots.

Great hotel in a handy mid-town location.

The hotel is in an excellent location and easy to go sightseeing.

The room was modern, comfortable, great large walk in shower and comfortable bed.

The only complaint would be that the room was a bit too small for 3 adults.

The room was very tiny, smelled of chemicals, and the bed linens were so ratty and pulled, stains all over them.

The rooms were small and they even got that wrong!

Rooms were tiny and the noisiest ever the doors slammed all night and people shouting and screaming then woken at early hours with the lift because people had to queue for the lift to go and have their breakfast !

Our room itself was very small, as is common in New York, with barely room for the bed and a tiny, slim desk.

The negatives… Rooms are quite small, walls are so thin you literally hear everything from the next room.

I was moved very quickly and was very impressed at the effectiveness of the reception team.

The staff, cleaners, receptionists, bell boys, bar staff, restaurant staff were all very helpful,  pleasant and polite.

Staff were polite and were on hand if we had any questions.

The staff were all pleasant and happy to help.

Staff were really helpful and quick to deal with any questions.

The hotel was in a fantastic location, close to Times Square

Would highly recommend staying here if you want to experience all New York has to offer especially in the midtown neighbourhood you’re within walking distance of Times Square, Rockefeller centre, Central Park

Close to Times Square (but far enough away).

Hotel close to Times Square, centre and subway for easy access to sites.

Well located close to time square and many other attractions great services.

The location of this hotel is brilliant - close to Times Square, great for the theatre district and between 42nd Street and 50th Street subway stops.

However jam dispensers constantly empty, pancakes and waffles cold and the breakfast room itself freezing!

Negatives
Main big problem in Paris heat- no refrigerated air conditioning, they only have evaporated air conditioning.

The air con could have done with being turned up a notch in the hot weather.

We were besieged with electrical issues due to a faulty iron…twice it blew all the power points on two separate days….ultimately fixed after a couple of requests.

As regards the rest of the hotel, the service at the reception desk was poor in respect that we had explained the air conditioning issue to one of the receptionists who was going to fix the matter whilst we were out.

The website, app, and every document related to this hotel reservation indicated A/C would be available.

The air conditioning wasn't working the room was sooo hot!couldn't open windows because of noise.

The air conditioner struggled to keep up with the warm summer days in Paris, so sleeping was a bit sticky,

Stuff tells me that "AC is the same in all rooms".

The night before we left they offered us to change rooms, providing not feedback on the AC.

On the first night we arrived the air conditioning wasn't working satisfactorily, we reported this to reception and the next day they said they had changed the filter and it was (very slightly) better,

After 3 nights of waking up drenched in my own sweat and having considered all options (virus, aircon, stress, etc) I finally checked the bed and realised Novotel, a 4 star hotel, uses plastified matrass covers right under the bed sheet.

No portable heater available even I requested for one.

This could be such a good hotel if it would only do something about it's heating system!

Even so, we had only one outlet that was working in the whole unit.

For a 4 star hotel, the a/c definitely wasn't up to scratch and the breakfast was a mess - they could arrange two areas especially during high season.

The only complaint I might have was the air conditioning was not too powerful

They came to check the a/c and they said that it would not get colder.

The location is wonderful, in the center and just next to a main metro station.

The metro station is opposite the main entrance and if you're arriving in Paris by Eurostar it's just one stop on an RER D or B train from Gare du Nord.

Metro stations were right outside the hotel, and tons of restaurants were nearby.

the location was perfect for us, with a metro station right outside the door and just a 10 min walk from Notre Dame.

Metro station is right in front, Le Louvre is a 10 minute walk, so is Notre Dam.

Friendly staff, awesome breakfast & perfectly located near a major metro station with great connectivity across and outside of Paris.

We were steps from the metro station at Châtelet-Les Halles.

Metro station just a few feet away, easily walkable to the Louvre.

On the plus side: 
Great location - Châtelet metro station is right outside the hotel and so using public transport is super easy.

The metro station is literally 50 metres away to get everywhere around Paris.

Metro station just outside, which I used for work.

but I would preferred to have a refrigerator, the hotel is well managed and clean the service was great, the hotel is close to all attractions, lots of restaurants and bars in the area, Metro station almost in the hotel, shopping center just behind the hotel and lots of other stores, overall very satisfied

The location is perfect right on Shatlet metro station, plenty of great restaurants and patisserie.

We stayed at Novotel Les Halles for 3 nights, excellent location, 1 minute walk from a very well-connected central train and metro station, Chatelete station.

Just outside the hotel there is the main station that most of metro lines interchange

The location is very central, close to a metro station, close to great shops, bakeries and restaurants.

Few steps from the huge train and metro station.

Besides that, the metro station Les Halles is one of the main one, so lots of lines stop at it, including the one to CDG.

10 steps from a major train and metro station so very quick to and from the airport.

The hotel is at a very convenient location just right beside the metro station.

We love walking and spent the time wandering around Place De La Concorde, up to the Arc De Triomphe and down to the Eiffel Tower - approx 12kms round trip.

Within a few minutes walk of the hotel is the Louvre and we walked a straight line down from there through Place de la Concorde, Jardin des Tuileries, Champs Elysees and Eiffel Tower all on foot with the kids.

From the hotel i would strongly suggest walking to the 'Champs Elysees' along the Rue de rivoli, then turing left at the Place de la Concorde (where the Champs Elysees begins, this will give you a good taste of the city and some of the most amazing buildings/sites are on the way, (the Louvre, the Grand Palais, Petit Palis and Théâtre Marigny).

but safe neighborhood, many restaurant, bars and stores are on a walking distance and most importantly, it is only 5 minutes from the Pompadour center, 10 minutes from the Seine and the Notre Dame Cathedral, and on the walking distance from the Louvre museum, Rivoli street and Concorde.

But the worse was a fire drill that launched the alarms at 120db and where we were instructed by hotel personnel to stay in our room for several minutes.

Cons: 
in the middle of construction - loud construction noises/banging/drilling starting 10am everyday for the entire 6 days we stayed.

Negatives:
1) Currently, there are some road constructions going on, so hard to get Uber to come by.

There was some construction on the streets and some roads were closed so maybe that's the reason why the driver couldn't get any closer or maybe he didn't know the right way.

Hopefully all this construction work will be done soon and this will no longer be an issue.

Someone wrote about some metro construction, it´s all done now, and you can acces the metro-rer-station right on the front door of the hotel (exit Porte m. de Navarre).

NB, there is no place for taxi to come  near to the hotel due to the construction going on  (No problem for the noise).

The only disappointments were the slow check in and the noisy construction work outside,

The only inconvenience was getting to the hotel by taxi due to the construction work which is almost complete.

Some construction in front of the hotel associated with the Metro station,

We found out that the construction has been ongoing for about a year.

There is still construction out the front of the hotel

Only downside is that it's under construction, so taxi cannot take you to front.

The construction around the hotel, which was a bit of a bummer, will be done by September.

The location's construction problem was not so bad because we didn't have massive suitcases.

The construction (for a metro station entrance/exit) in front of the hotel is almost over and should make it even better connected with the metro lines.

The roads surrounding the hotel are under construction which makes UBER and TAXI drop offs a little difficult

Location is very central, walking distance to Louvre, Notre Dame, Metro (Les Halles) and the only issue is that because of the construction to Les Halles, taxis couldn't drop us at the hotel

but only after construction is fully completed.

Ps - on the Monday visit to Disney, it was our daughters 6th birthday.

Our girls loved the free ice cream in the afternoon!

We came as a family of 4 (2 kids age 7 and 10), and we had 2 connecting rooms.

We were there for  mother daughter birthday trip.

We were visiting with our son, daughter-in-law & our first grandson.

I am travelling with my teens so there are 4 of us.

Good room size, perfect for a family of two adults and two children to relax.

Sometimes they were handing out free ice cream cones in the middle of the afternoon, which my kids loved.

I came here with my two boys and I HAD REALLY GOOD TIME with my kids here.

The room which had a comfortable double for my husband and I plus a sofa bed for our daughter was excellent.

The WC near the hotel restaurants has a cutely set up, and there is also a childrens area which we thought was a thoughtful touch.

Kabira and Lucille helped us a lot to accommodate our need for room type 
Worked fast and with integrity really superb job 
Not to forget very cooperative bell boys always available and super polite 
Breakfast free for kids and quality of breakfast was amazing 
You can make your own fresh fruit juice here first time for me 
I definitely recommend for family stay in Paris 
Location 5 star

Our young adult children enjoyed the junior suite.

We had two kids (4 & 6) who really enjoyed the kids room.

The we made a note on our reservations that we had 2 children traveling with us and the staff decorated the room with balloons and provided coloring pages and color pencils for the kids.

Inside there was even a separate play space for young children!

My granddaughter and I met in Paris for a long weekend and completely enjoyed our stay at Novotel Paris Les Halles.

It has a large variety to choose from everything were delicious and the price seems to be a bargain as kid have breakfast for free.

Executive room with Queen size and sofà for two teens was nice and comfortable.

Hotel is incredibly well located for restaurants, shops, sightseeing and transport.

So - location wise this hotel could not have been more perfectly placed had we done it by hand.

Great ambiance, Great Food (Price-quality ratio is alright) and if You’re lucky You’ll be with Théo who is a great waiter. The Restaurant is located inside a hotel,
