[Hotel Review] Novotel Lisbon

Grabbed from official site

Well, this was an unexpected pitstop.

So I happily left the LIS Tejo Lounge, looking forward to begin the part of my journey where I can finally stop hotel hopping for abit. But alas, after delayed boarding and sitting onboard for 3hours, the captain announced that the flight has been cancelled (presuming due to the crazy weather at AMS?).

*Cues a flurry of Oh Nos and confusion/exclamation/angry remarks.

In essence, we were asked to deplane, huddle around to wait for staff who came later after the entire plane has disembarked, told to go to another gate to be assisted, then given F&B vouchers to use at the airport while receiving email notifications for being rebooked to next day, same flight. Haiz.

[Hotel Review] Novotel Taipei Taoyuan International Airport

Fukuoka Fanfare:

I struggled a little with picking a property for this pitstop but landed on this due to its proximity to the airport for the 16 hour stopover.

[Hotel Review] Novotel Singapore on Stevens

My first attempt to redeem my Accor Plus Stay Benefit for 2018!

And of course I picked Novotel as it is a complimentary stay and its more value to pick the more expensive!

[Hotel Review] Novotel Bangkok on Siam Square

After redeeming my miles for Bangkok (25,000 miles on SQ), I decided to stay in Siam area for the 4days this time as interestingly, I’ve always stayed at other areas as Siam hotels are always super busy (and expensive!).

The hotel has been running for ages but they have also recently undergone a much needed refurbishment. The pictures shown online from late 2017 onwards seems to present modern Novotel touches all across, quite nice indeed.

[Hotel Review] Novotel Bangkok Ploechit Sukhumvit

And of course I once again stalked the Accor 40% Super Sale to secure this place at a superb deal for my 4D3N leisure trip with a slightly different agenda, other than shopping and eating hehe.

Prior to arrival, I had emailed the hotel to enquire about the upgrade in accordance with my Accor Gold membership and responses were prompt – was told they will try their best for me.
