Location is at Central Taiping inside the Mall and within walking distance to the famous Lake Gardens, Casual Market and other attractions within the town. Many eateries around the hotel and you will be spoilt for choices.
Checking in and out was smooth with friendly staff but they are a bit slow. Room was large, clean, bed comfortable, air conditioned cold and water pressure strong. However, the pillow was soft to my liking and need to use 2 to sleep on but it's uncomfortable. They should have one slightly harder pillow and another soft one to suit everyone's preferences.
A good stay with the Novotel branding which will not go wrong and the cost is also the highest among hotels in Taiping.
