Unbelievable Novotel Reims Tinqueux: Your Dream Stay Awaits!

Unbelievable Novotel Reims Tinqueux: My Dream (and Maybe Yours?) Stay Awaits… Seriously! – An Brutally Honest Review (Because Honesty is the Best Policy… Mostly)

Okay, so, let's talk Reims. Specifically, let's talk Novotel Reims Tinqueux. Because, like, dream stay? That's a bold claim. And I, your humble reviewer, am here to dissect that little phrase and see if it holds up to the, shall we say, realities of modern hotel living. Buckle up, because this isn't one of those sterile, corporate brochure reviews. This is REAL.

First, the Basics (Accessibility & Safety – The Boring But Necessary Stuff):

Alright, alright, I get it. We have to talk about boring stuff first. But hey, important stuff!

Accessibility: Okay, so generally accessible. Elevator is a godsend, especially if you're on a high floor (more on that later). The website claims facilities for disabled guests, but I didn't personally test those. Worth checking directly if you have specific needs.
Safety, Safety, Safety: Okay, this is where Novotel really shines. They're taking COVID seriously (thank heavens!). Anti-viral cleaning products? Check. Daily disinfection? Check! Hand sanitizer everywhere, staff masked up, and, praise be, rooms sanitized between stays. Look, I'm a germaphobe at heart, so this got a HUGE thumbs up from me. They’ve got the usual suspects: CCTV, fire extinguishers, smoke alarms. Feel safe, people, feel safe.
Cleanliness: The room was spotless. Truly. No hair in the bathroom, no questionable stains on the… ahem… everything. Impressed!

Rooms & Amenities: My Fortress of Comfort (or at Least a Comfy Fortress):

Let’s talk about the actual room, shall we? Because, ya know, that’s where you spend, like, most of your time, right?

The Good: Okay, so the Blackout curtains? PERFECT. I need my beauty sleep. Free Wi-Fi? A GODSEND. (Shoutout to the free Wi-Fi in all the rooms! Seriously, a game-changer.) Air conditioning that actually works? Yes, please! Complimentary bottled water? Little things matter! The bed? Actually comfy. Surprisingly comfy.
The Okay: The bathroom. It was… fine. Clean, functional. Nothing to write home about, but not terrible.
The Minor Annoyances: The desk area could be a tad more spacious. And the lighting in the room was a bit… dim.
The OMG Moment: Let's talk about the High Floor thing. They asked if I wanted one. And I said, "YES, PLEASE!" And the view? OH. MY. GOD. Reims at sunset? Stunning. The city lights twinkling? Magical. Worth the potential extra elevator wait. Do it. Seriously. Book a high-floor room. Don't be an idiot like me and almost miss out!
That "Perfect" Smell: The room smelled… clean. Not like a hospital, but like a freshly cleaned room. I spent a solid five minutes just breathing it in. Bliss.
The Little Things that Matter I didn't feel like my neighbor was IN my room-- the Soundproofing was on point!!

Food, Glorious Food (and Drinks!):

Okay, confession time: I LOVE food. And Novotel, you delivered… mostly.

Breakfast, The Most Important Meal: Breakfast buffet? YES! Western and Asian options? Score! The croissants were flaky and buttery, the coffee was decent (thank you, caffeine gods!), and the eggs were… well, hotel eggs. You know, the kind that’s okay. But the atmosphere was great. The staff was friendly, and I could get a nice view of the city as I start the day.
Lunch/Dinner (and Snacks!): The restaurant was good. The A la carte options were diverse, offering everything from local French dishes to international options. The salad was fresh and tasty, and the soup was perfect for a chilly evening. And the bar? Well, it was there. And it served alcohol. Happy hour!
A Little Bit Disappointed: The coffee shop wasn’t spectacular, it was ok.

Relaxation: The Spa, Gym and All That Jazz!

Okay, if you're looking to unwind, this place has options, my friend.

Spa/Sauna/Steamroom: They have it! I am absolutely there for the sauna after a long day walking about! The Spa is quite nice too with some nice treatments to get the body ready for the next day!
Pool: The Swimming pool [outdoor] is a nice addition.
Gym/Fitness: The Fitness center is very convenient.

Things to Do & Getting Around:

Reims itself is amazing. But the hotel is well-situated, with easy access to the city center.

Getting Around: Free car park! That's a huge win, especially if you’re driving. Taxi service is available.
Bonus: They have Bike Parking!
The Area: Lots to see and do in Reims! Champagne houses, cathedrals, charming streets… you name it.

Services & Conveniences: The Little Things That Make a Difference:

24-Hour Front Desk: Huge plus! Especially when you arrive jet-lagged or have a late-night craving for… well, anything.
Laundry and Dry Cleaning: Helpful if you’re staying for a while.
Concierge: Always nice to have someone who knows the area.
Elevator: Praise be!
Contactless check-in/out: Saves time. Love it.

The Verdict: Dream Stay? Hmmm… Let's Say, "Definitely Worth a Stay!"

Okay, so, dream stay? Maybe a slight exaggeration. But the Novotel Reims Tinqueux is a solid choice. It’s clean, safe, comfortable, and convenient. The staff were friendly and helpful. The location? Excellent. The high-floor rooms? Worth it. And the breakfast? Well, let’s just say I’m still dreaming of those croissants.

My Recommendation: If you're visiting Reims and want a comfortable, well-located hotel with good amenities and a strong focus on safety and cleanliness, then YES, book the Novotel Reims Tinqueux. You won’t be disappointed.

My REALLY Honest Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars (those croissants really stick with you!)

Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're about to dive HEADFIRST into my chaotic, champagne-drenched, and probably slightly disastrous (but hopefully delightful) trip to the Novotel Reims Tinqueux. Prepare for some rambling, raw opinions, and the kind of itinerary only I could create.

The Great Reims Ramble: A Pre-Christmas Champagne Caper (or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Tiny Elevators)

Day 0: Pre-Travel Panic and Existential Dread (a.k.a. "Packing is a Lie")

10:00 AM: Okay, so I thought I was prepared. I had a packing list, a perfectly curated Spotify playlist (mostly French pop, naturally), and a burning desire for buttery croissants. Turns out, "prepared" is a subjective term, especially when "prepared" involves forgetting travel adaptors, the only comfortable scarf, and a valid reason for why I'm taking 5 pairs of shoes to France.
11:30 AM: The Great Suitcase Struggle. I'm currently battling my suitcase, which seems to be possessed by a malicious spirit determined to resist all attempts at closure. Victory will be mine! …Maybe.
1:00 PM: Final, desperate sweep of the apartment, hoping I haven't left the cat tied to the radiator. (I haven't, thankfully). Time to surrender and embrace the chaos. Airport, here I come!

Day 1: Arrival, Novotel, and the Promise of Fizz (or, "Champagne Dreams, Elevator Nightmares")

Morning: Ugh, the flight. Let's just say airplane food is NOT the haute cuisine I was craving, and the woman next to me was really into her crossword puzzle. Eventually, the joy of seeing the French countryside from the plane washed some of the fatigue away.
Afternoon (ish): Arrive at Novotel Reims Tinqueux. Okay, first impressions: It's a Novotel. Clean, efficient, and…well, it fulfills the practical requirements of a hotel. The lobby is functional, the staff is pleasant (though their English might be a bit rusty, which is always a charming adventure), and the promise of a hot shower after the long flight is my guiding light. The real excitement is that I'm finally HERE!
3:00 PM: Check-in and…the elevator. Oh, the elevator! It's tiny. And slow. Seriously, it's like a sardine can propelled by a very, very patient sloth. I'm already bracing myself for the daily commute. I can't believe this is the first experience of the whole trip. This is also probably very important.
4:00 PM: Unpack. After the suitcase showdown, this is a breeze. (Except for the adaptor situation. Sigh).
5:00 PM: First Champagne! After a quick shower and a change of clothes, it's time to celebrate. I find a local Champagne, which is all that matters. Time to pop open a bottle and revel in my own personal victory for getting here.
7:00 PM: Simple dinner at the hotel restaurant. Steak frites, of course. It's decent. I'm exhausted, euphoric, and the wine is starting to take effect. Time for bed.

Day 2: Reims Cathedral, the Fizz Factory, and a Moment of Spiritual Reflection (or, "Holy Cow, That Cathedral is Big!")

9:00 AM: Breakfast at the hotel. Standard buffet fare. The coffee is strong, which is essential, and the croissants are… well, they're not the flaky, melt-in-your-mouth masterpieces of my dreams. Still, I'm in France! I'll survive.
10:00 AM: Reims Cathedral. Okay, wow. Just…wow. The sheer scale of it is breathtaking. It's more impressive in person, truly. My jaw actually dropped. I spent a good hour just wandering around, soaking in the stained glass and the history. It's a truly humbling experience. I'm not religious, but I felt a genuine sense of awe.
12:00 PM Lunch: A bistro near the cathedral. Steak tartare for the adventurous. (I'm not normally adventurous. But, you know, France!) It was…interesting. The taste was very unique.
2:00 PM: Champagne House Tour ( Deeper Dive). I went to a tour at one of the smaller, more family-run houses. Okay, the big Champagne houses are awesome, and I'll get to them. But these smaller places have CHARACTER. They offer a more personal experience, more of a story, and that's what I was after. Being right there, hearing the family history, seeing the passion, and sipping on the bubbly…that, my friends, is the good stuff. This is what I came for! I tasted at least five different types, and the stories behind them!
5:00 PM: Back to the hotel. Relax. Reflect on my champagne-doused afternoon. The tiny elevator is still a challenge.
7:00 PM: Dinner. Trying something more local. This is where things get exciting. I found a little petit restaurant (a hole-in-the-wall, really) and ordered things I couldn't even pronounce. Worth. It.
9:00 PM: I'm going to fall into a champagne-induced slumber.

Day 3: More Champagne, a Little Shopping, and a Slightly Bumpy Ride (or, "The Day I Thought the Taxi Driver Was Going to Kidnap Me, But He Was Just a Local")

9:00 AM: Late breakfast (thank goodness for the flexible check-out policy). Another attempt at the croissants. Still not quite up to scratch.
10:00 AM: Another Champagne House Visit. I had to! This time, I'm going for the big names. Veuve Clicquot, Moët & Chandon…the whole shebang. And wow. It was a different experience, but still spectacular.
1:00 PM: Lunch in the city by the canals. I tried to order the French onion soup. It was delicious, and warm, and just the thing I needed to take the winter chill out of my bones!
3:00 PM: Shopping! I have to buy gifts! I’m not actually a shopper, but souvenir-buying is a must. I find some great finds and come back with a haul to leave some space in my suitcase when I leave.
5:00 PM: The "Taxi Incident." So, I thought I'd be clever and take a taxi to a particularly picturesque little bridge. I got in, and the driver drove for… well, a long time. I’m pretty sure I saw the same roundabout three times. The interior was a bit…chaotic (empty water bottles, a half-eaten baguette). I may have actually clutched my bag a little tighter. Turns out, he was just chatty, and easily distracted. The bridge was worth the (slightly terrifying) ride. The views are amazing!
7:00 PM: Dinner at the hotel again. Too tired to venture out. Thank goodness for room service.

Day 4: Departure, Regrets, and the Promise of a Return (or, "Goodbye, Reims! I'll Be Back for Those Croissants!")

9:00 AM: Final breakfast at the hotel. Sigh. Time to pack.
10:00 AM: Check-out. The tiny elevator offers one last, slightly mocking salute as I descend.
11:00 AM: Last-minute souvenir shopping. I manage to snag a few last-minute goodies.
12:00 PM: Depart for the airport. The drive is easy enough. It's time to look back and remember.
2:00 PM: On the plane. I'm already planning my return. I'll find those perfect croissants somehow. And I'll conquer that elevator!

Final Thoughts:

This trip was a delight. It had its bumps, the tiny elevator tested my patience, and the taxi ride could have been an episode of a thriller, but I loved it. Champagne is magical, France is gorgeous, and I'm already dreaming of my next adventure. A trip like this is not about the flawless itinerary, but the little moments of joy, the unexpected discoveries, and the inevitable hiccups that make it uniquely you. Until next time, Reims! Au revoir!

Unbelievable Novotel Reims Tinqueux: Let's Get Real (and Maybe a Little Tipsy on Champagne!)

Okay, so, is it actually unbelievable? Like, should I pack a tiara and expect a red carpet?

Alright, look, let's be honest. "Unbelievable" is maybe a *tad* hyperbolic. No tiara. No red carpet (unless you count the slightly faded, but still perfectly functional, carpet in the lobby). But… here’s the thing, it’s *really* good. Like, surprisingly good. The Novotel Reims Tinqueux isn't trying to be the Ritz, and frankly, that's its superpower. It's got a solid, reliable "can't-go-wrong" vibe, which, after a long drive across the French countryside, is *exactly* what you need. It's more "comfortably well-appointed" than "jaw-droppingly amazing," but honestly, that's a win in my book. I mean, I *did* once expect a five-star hotel to have a decent coffee machine in the room. Didn’t happen. So yeah, believe it's going to be good, not a fantasy hotel.

The location… is it convenient for… well, anything outside of the hotel walls?

Yep. This is where it shines! Tinqueux is practical, it's Reims-adjacent (a short, easy drive away). The cathedral? Easy peasy. Champagne houses? Hellooooo, Ruinart! Getting around is a breeze, and you're far enough from the city center hustle to actually relax. I remember one trip, and I didn't want to drive, so I took a taxi into the city! It was a bit more than I wanted to spend, but I didn't mind, and I just thought "Man, I'm just gonna enjoy it" and the restaurant was so good, I still think about the meal and that taxi ride.

Let's talk about the food. Is the restaurant edible? And more importantly, do they have good wine?

Alright, here's the deal. The food… it's good! It's not Michelin-star good, let's be clear. But it's reliably *delicious*. The breakfast buffet is legendary. Like, seriously, I dream about the little croissants. One time, I may or may not have strategically "forgotten" I'd already eaten and gone back for seconds… and thirds. The wine list? Oh, *yes*. You're in Champagne! They obviously know their stuff. They'll offer you the local bubbly. Also, the service is super. Friendly, helpful, and they can make some good recommendations about what wines to pair with your meal. I'm not a wine expert, but I always find something that tastes amazing.

The rooms – what are they really like? Are we talking cramped, dated horrorshow?

Nope. The rooms are… comfortable. They're not gigantic suites, but they're well-designed, clean, and have everything you need. I’ve stayed in some tiny hotel rooms in my time, and let me tell you... These rooms feel spacious enough to actually RELAX. The beds are comfy and the bathrooms are modern. Seriously, you can actually *unwind* after a long day of exploring (or, you know, drinking champagne). The decor is modern, and functional. No nasty carpets or weird, questionable art. And the air conditioning? Doesn’t sound like a jet engine. Believe me, I've experienced some of those.

Is there a pool? Because all this talk of relaxation is making me want a dip!

Yes! There is a pool. It's a lifesaver, especially in summer. It's not a gigantic Olympic-sized pool, but it's big enough to swim around and cool off. And the best part? It’s rarely overcrowded! You can actually RELAX. I remember one sweltering afternoon, and I went for a swim, and it was just what I needed. Pure bliss. Just remember to pack your swimsuit. I nearly forgot one time. Disaster averted. But the pool is a real win, definitely.

The staff… are they friendly or do they act like you're a massive inconvenience?

The staff are genuinely lovely. They're helpful, friendly, and they actually seem to *enjoy* their jobs. This is a huge plus, trust me. I've been to hotels where the staff act like you just personally insulted their ancestors. Not here. They go out of their way to help you. They are attentive, always smiling. One time, I was completely lost trying to find the Champagne route. And the front desk guy not only gave me detailed directions... but also pulled out a map and marked everything for me! Top marks for customer service.

Okay, the tiny details! Wifi? Parking? Do I have to fight for a parking spot?

Alright, the nitty-gritty. Wifi is good, not amazing, but perfectly functional for checking emails, posting those obligatory "Look at me, I'm in France!" Instagram stories. Parking? Plenty of it! You won't be circling the block at 2 AM desperately searching for a spot. Seriously, the parking situation alone makes this hotel a winner. It's amazing how often parking can add stress to a trip. Not here, though. Total peace. The other thing, and this is important... is the soundproofing! I hate when you can hear people in the hallway or the traffic outside the window. Not a problem here. You can actually SLEEP.

Is there anything… bad? Because nothing's perfect. Even the croissants (maybe).

Okay, look, let's get real. Nothing's perfect. And yes, there are a few minor quibbles. The gym is a bit small, if you're a serious gym-goer. The elevator can be a *little* slow during peak hours. Sometimes the air conditioning in the hallway seems a little... *too* enthusiastic, and you feel a sudden chill. But honestly? These are minor, tiny things. They definitely don't detract from the overall experience. I mean, the most "negative" thing? Maybe the lack of a specific “Champagne Concierge” with a dedicated flute-cleaning service (kidding!). Overall, it's a pretty good deal! Just go expecting a good stay and a great location to enjoy the region.

Bottom line: Would you recommend it? And would you go back?
