Location
Novotel Manila Araneta Center is the first Novotel in the country and is also the first four-star hotel in Cubao. The hotel is right next to Araneta Center, a few steps away from Gateway Mall and is right in front of Shopwise. KIA Theater, Farmer's Market, and SM Makati are also within walking distance.
Check In / Out
Checking in and out of the hotel were a breeze.
Their keycards look really hip, as is the keycard sensor on the hotel door.

Room Size
I stayed in the Superior Twin Room and liked the comfortable size of the room.
Room View
I had the view of the pool and the construction that was still on-going. To my surprise, there was no construction noise that bothered me during my stay there.
Room Amenities
The color palette of the room gives off a very modern vibe. The room has the standard desk.
They also have a couch and I love that they have a custom made small table so that you can work from there.
Wifi is strong and consistent and there were a lot of sockets for your charging needs and connectors to hook up your laptop to the tv.
Robes are provided but you have to request for an iron and ironing board if you need them.

Sleep Quality
The bed provided a good night's sleep. Their uniquely shaped pillow is perfect is you're like me who prefers to stay in bed while using my laptop (scroll back up for the photo of the bed and pillows).
Bathroom
I liked how the bathroom door looks like a closet door.
The shower area and the toilet are separate and the entire area looks and feels really clean. Water pressure is strong, perfect for taking long showers.
They also provided Lanvin soaps.
Hotel Amenities
The hotel's scent brand is pleasant and doesn't assault you, smells a lot like Edsa Shangri-La's scent brand.
I particularly liked the fact that natural light floods the hallways.

Breakfast
My stay didn't come with breakfast but I should try it one time seeing how nice the restaurant looks.
Staff Courtesy
As with what one may expect from any Accor brand, the staff are all very helpful and friendly.
Hotel Amenities
There are still some work to be done on the hotel, they have a makeshift gym for the meantime.
Overall, I was very impressed with the property and while Cubao has not been my usual preferred location for a stay-in, Novotel has changed my mind.
