Novotel Properties in Puerto Montt

The scenery is stunning, and the location is unbeatable, but those with sensitive sleep should proceed with caution. My stay at the Nofort Hotel in Chile was a bittersweet experience. Let's start with the pros. The most breathtaking aspect was the view! The hotel is by the sea, and the ocean-view rooms offer unparalleled vistas. On a clear day, you can clearly see the snow-capped mountains to the east, and the sunsets are so beautiful you don't want to leave the hotel. You could easily spend an entire day just sitting by the window watching the sea, the mountains, and the sunset. The rooms are incredibly spacious and comfortable, and I especially want to praise the table – it's enormous, perfect for business travelers, and very easy to use. Regarding service, the front desk and reception staff were extremely welcoming and responsive, day and night. One night, the heating was on too high (it gets unbearably hot here in winter), and I woke up at 2 AM feeling sweltering. I went to the front desk for help, and the staff on duty immediately brought me a cooling device – their service was excellent. The location is also impeccable: the back door leads directly to the largest shopping mall in the area, and the supermarket is just a 30-second walk away, making it extremely convenient for both tourists and business travelers. Of course, the drawbacks are also quite obvious. If you're a bit of a nerd like me, you might want to think twice: 1. Poor breakfast experience: The restaurant is small, and there are too many tourists, making it difficult to find a seat. 2. Severe noise problem: The hotel is right next to a main road by the sea, and even with the windows closed and earplugs on, the traffic noise is still overwhelming. Even worse, sports cars frequently speed through the streets at night, with deafening engines that severely disrupt sleep. 3. Overheating: In winter, the indoor temperature is like an oven. Although the staff helped resolve the issue, that night was truly unbearable. In summary: If you're not sensitive to your sleeping environment, or if you prioritize views and convenience, this hotel is definitely worth staying at. However, if you need a quiet sleep like I did, be sure to bring earplugs and noise-canceling equipment, or simply avoid rooms facing the road. I chose this hotel for a business trip because of its office space and location; if I were to come back, I might still have some reservations. Recommended for: Tourists obsessed with sea views, business people needing a large desk, and shopaholics. Not recommended for: People severely sensitive to noise, and those who prefer quiet sleep. Hope this review helps!
