Hotel berhampiran Cruzeiro Galo Novo, Nova Lima

Summary: Novotel BH provides a comfortable stay, with an excellent on site restaurant, but some service quality issues with the front desk staff take the shine off the experience. The good: Room: room is large compared to other Novotel I have stayed at recently. Big, comfortable bed and a large, hot, high-pressure shower. Excellent black out curtains and in room AC. Nice views of the city as well and surrounding hills. I got to enjoy a spectacular lightning storm on my last night. Restaurant: the on site restaurant is excellent, so much so I left a seperate review for that. Sebastiao and the restaurant team are fantastic and so was the food. Housekeeping: thank you to the team for their excellent service each day. Including leaving me a nice note when they heard my guest was unwell the night before and provided new towels and sheets on request without any issues. The bad: Accor status recognition: there was no recognition of my gold status on check-in and the welcome gift was a strange keychain/bottle opener; rather than the standard water or food item that I would have much preferred. A welcome note was left in the room, but in Portuguese. Front desk: check-in was a rough experience. When I arrived there were four staff, none who were serving customers and they all nudged each other while giggling to gesture for someone else to serve me. This property does share an entrance with the adjacent Ibis Budget - from this experience I thought I may have entered the wrong hotel. There is extremely limited English spoken by the front desk staff as well, my check in was conducted via grunts and nods. Keycard: thankfully not as bad as my recent experience at the Novotel in Rio, but my keycard stopped working twice during my three night stay - forcing me to waste time going to the front desk. Conclusion: with some retraining and enhancements to the service provided by the front desk, this hotel could easily become a four star rating. Right now, it’s just average in my opinion.

Um hotel q atende bem o hóspede ! Desde a entrada recebem com atenção e cuidado . Quarto e banheiro amplos e bem limpos ! Localização privilegiada , bem no centro de BH ! Hospedarei mais vezes !

Located in a quiet and safe neighborhood where there are many small shops and restaurants. Nice modern design. Small pool on rooftop. Very good breakfast. The rooms are nicely decorated and have a lot of space. I recommend the junior suite as they are even more spacious. Most staff members are really nice. They do their best to make your stay as comfortable as possible. I had some small hiccups but I really appreciate their efforts to overcome these small issues. Some staff members do not speak English but you still can manage. Thanks to all the staff members and managers (Jessica, Lidia, Daniel etc.) who helped me have a great stay.

Such a wonderful time spent at Hilton Garden inn! After almost 30 years without visiting my hometown I was greeted with a wonderful team! Thank you so much for making sure I was comfortable! You guys did everything to accommodate me ,to make me happy as I went to say my last goodbye to my mother… Thank you for everything you all did for me! In this time of sadness. I left happier than when I arrived! Everything was the way I expected: such a clean rooms! Spacious, slept like a angel! No noises at all! Amazing shower! (Just how I like) Felt like a waterfall! All though our language is português, everyone English spoken! So Awesome! Not to mention the beautiful city view! I consider now my HOME. Can’t wait to go back in a different circumstances and be able to enjoy all the amenities! Thank you!!! Muito obrigada!!! All the best, Juliana Melo

Eu e minha família hospedamos para o Reveillon. Checkin dia 31/12/23 e fomos informados que o restaurante funcionaria até as 21:00 para pedidos. Íamos para uma festa. Descemos para o restaurante e fizemos o pedido as 19:00. O pedido saiu apenas as 23:00. Uma completa bagunça. O restaurante Santa Fé que atende a rede de hotéis dispensou vários funcionários deixando para tender todo o hotel que estava com ocupação máxima apenas 3 pessoas na cozinha (novatas) e 2 garçons. Os funcionários bem educados, estavam exaustos, choraram com grosseria e estresse de hospedes e ainda pediram desculpas. Caótico. O hotel e o restaurante sabiam do caos prévio, da lotação e ainda sim dispensaram funcionários. No dia seguinte apesar de dizerem que estava tudo regularizado, só tinha frango ou peixe. Não havia pessoas na noite do dia 31/12 para limpeza. Na recepção, Sr. Luis apoiou cada necessidade. Brilhante atendimento da Sra. Sandra e das cozinheiras, Sra. Maria, e do outro garçom Sr. Fernando. Seguraram o nervoso da situação e com bom humor souberam conduzir o caos. Na recepção do dia seguinte ficaram 2 pessoas nem tão acessíveis e nem tão educadas como na noite do caos.
