    The pillows were a little uncomfortable and despite, plenty of "no smoking" signs everywhere, our room and corridors smelled like smoke.

    We really liked the location and it was within easy walking distance to restaurants and local sight seeing areas. We got a suite and really liked the room set up which was modern and clean. The guest laundry and gym were basic but very convenient.

    Smell of cigarette smoking coming in from one of the room windows nearby. Even though it's non-smoking floor (or hotel?).

    Nothing

    Am very happy with my stay in Novotel Bell Tower. Excellent location. Room is very clean, comfortable and spacious. Nice touch of complimentary afternoon tea with light snacks. Front desk reception staff are helpful. A special call out for the lady staff (刘巍) who manages the tour desk. She is extremely helpful and went beyond her call of duty very early one morning to help me sort out an issue on the museum tickets. I will definitely stay here again.

    The hotel should not shut the aircon off during winter. The room is very stuffy without the aircon.

    I like the free high tea offered by the hotel. Very thoughtful to offer small bite and red dates tea for the guests. The staff is extremely helpful with my query.

    There is no access to the outside as the window has access to the airwell only. There is hardly natural light that come into the roon.

    The location and the housekeeping is excellent. The staff are friendly especially mr ethan chai who helped us to make our stay comfortable and went out of his way to ensure our safe trip to the airport. He is only among a few staff that can understand english though not much. Thank you ethan for making our stay at the hotel wonderful. There is also tea served from 2-5 pm which is wonderful.

    Not enough closet space. Doors (including shower and toilet) slam loud. More western options for breakfast, please.

    Location ( right in front of metro exit and lots of restaurants and shops), toilet, shower, room size (privilege king), pillows( one hard and one soft). Didn't use other facilities, so I can't comment. Staff friendly - from reception to cleaning staff.

    The lack of English in an international hotel of this size and reputation. I left my phone in a taxi - my fault - but I have messaged the hotel twice to write a report for me as they did try to help on the night but I need a report from them so I can claim it on insurance but no response from staff.

    The location and room were wonderful.

    Value for money,location but need improvement on staff language, as it is Novotel,not China Hotel.

    Location, with no accessible to the front of the hotel.Drop off it at the side road. Staffs hardly speak English,which is a problem for non chinese speaking. If you are on a early morning flight like 0830,as the travelling time take 1 hour to the airport. Which u wl need to skip breakfast as the servicing open at 0700.Remember to book your room excluded breakfast. The packed breakfast, is pack bread,which you can get at the convenient store,no coffee,which they can do better. If you have a Tourist Group for early morning,that will be a problem as just 2 lift servicing in house guest to room and going down to the street level.

    Location, accessible to Metro and walking distance to eateries within the vicinty. Plus is the bus to take to the Warrior Terracotta museum.which is 1 hour ride and is located behind the Hotel side lane.

    King size bedroom description is 'quiet street view' . In actual situation, room has a window, but its facing a wall!! Where is the street view?? Asked for actual street view, but was told to upgrade with additional money - but its twin bed, not king size bedroom. Hotel must describe its room properly, so that we can make better choices in selecting our hotel stay.
