My wife and I spent 6 days at the Novotel DS. We found it very convenient for getting around whether we were walking or taking the LRT or train, (short distance to walk) The Saturday night fireworks on the harbour which are less than 5 min walk away is not to be missed. The staff were very courteous and helpful as well.

I changed my booking from a different hotel to this one because of the swimming pool. Swimming pool was closed for maintenance. Would have been nice for them to mention this on the site. I was not able to pay using the debit facility on my card, but had to make payment as creditcard to incur the service fee. Was in a great location with plenty of places to eat.
