Novotel Bourges

Clean, comfortable, helpful staff very dog friendly

We stayed for one night on our way to the channel ferry. The hotel has an excellent restaurant with a good selection of dishes. The room was spacious, clean and very comfortable.

Stop over for a night while driving south. Pleasant hotel, lovely service. Happy to store our two electric bikes securely in a conference room overnight. EV chargers worked perfectly overnight. Nice late afternoon swim in the pool.

Lovely stopover on the way through France. Friendly and helpful staff and good restaurant. Would definitely stay again.

Was great from start to finish

Warm and engaging staff

Staff were extremely helpful. Room was spacious & comfortable. Both dinner & breakfast were good with a varied selection of dishes. A great place to stop over.

Decent one night stay on our way to Barcelona. It is a lot nicer on the inside than what the outside and location looks like. Right off the motorway and within a light industrial area, which is fine. We didn’t use the pool, breakfast was great and rooms standard Novotel, which is good. People helpful and polite.

Stopped over on the way through France about 5.5 hours from the tunnel. Great to have a dip in the pool after a long drive dinner was amazing and 2 mins from the motorway ideal.

Spoilt by horrendous noise in the restaurant and in the bar, where it was impossible to leave as a huge group of Dutch people blocked the exit with their seats which they had arranged in a circle.

Excellent welcome for families. Toys and books available which is incredibly helpful. Book the restaurant if you want to eat there. Had no availability until 9pm which is obviously too late for young children. There are limited options nearby.

the property was clean and the room was great

We booked due to previously good experiences with the Novotel brand. The hotel is excellent, there is a good pool, parking and loads of charging points for electric vehicles. The rooms are good. Our only problem was the service from the restaurant staff which slightly spoilt our stay. Having booked for 2 adults and 2 children on a half board basis in the restaurant we found out this didn't include the children at this point. Not a huge problem on its own but a surprise. There was a buffet starter option and 3 main courses on offer which were great, however my daughter aged 13 was disappointed she had to have this and wasn't allowed to order from the children menu which my 11 year old son was pleased to order from. She is 13 so arguably this is understandable but it was disappointing for her to have to wait (with the adults) over an hour for her main course to arrive whilst the children course arrived for the 11 year old almost immediately. In isolation none of these things would have been a big factor if it not for the fact we were ignored by the significant number of staff in the restaurant for long periods of time who seemed to find other things to occupy themselves with. Another couple we spoke to who joined later were having smiler issues with the service. There seemed no-one appropriate to speak to in the evening so we spoke to the reception staff on check out, the lady merely smiled at us and again offered no apology.

Stayed on way down to Dordogne. Easy to find. Free parking. Friendly and helpful staff. Clean room. Excellent food in the restaurant. Breakfast highly recommended. Would definitely return if passing

Great stay at Bourges Novotel. Perfect for a stopover from Spain or southern France.

Great hotel for an overnight stopover

The staff was most friendly and helpful. Very attentive to anything we needed and we really appreciated that! Thank you :)

Very convenient for AutoRoute 71, en route back from Spain. Not beautiful, but looks newly refurbished inside. Bar and restaurant on site. Rooms standard but fine for overnight stay. Does what it says on the tin!

Refugee house next door fighting at night and not good for children to see. Staff friendly, rooms semi refurbished, but very hot and air con useless. Sheets a bit like sand paper too. Breakfast good and pool warm but hostile outside and fence has been covered in plastic to stop the view into this camp. Unfortunately from the top floor you can se straight in.

Really good service and heal and safety provisions re: covid - we’ll done
