No no Novotel
Booked Novotel as I was arriving late & they advertised 24 hour room service- when I arrive I’m told not hot food on room service only cold snacks! Arrive at my room to a very musty smell of a room that had not been opened for a long time, only one of two beds made up with bedding for the second bod in a heap on a sideboard. Tried to take a bath but no plug to be had in the room - overall a terrible hotel - spend your dollars elsewhere

Welcoming and friendly staff but room was hot
We enjoyed our night at the Novotel, the staff went over and above making us feel welcome. The room's bed's were comfortable, the harbour view was nice but the A/C didn't work and the place was a little dirty.

Others better value but good
Nice enough hotel. Spacious rooms. Nice views, which will soon be lost with the new residential tower development. But for a room costing $400 a night there was no minibar, no breakfast, and a queen bed lost in a big room. Won't go back

A wonderful Hotel
This is our 2nd.. stay at the Novotel Syd. Darling Harbour,
and after the 1st. time, I thought it couldn't get any better, but it did. When we arrived in our taxi w e were met by a very friendly staff member to load our luggage onto a trolley to take into the Hotel for us. As I had Checked-in online before we left home, all I had to do was go to the Reception Desk, pick up the Room Key for the room already allocated and from then on everything was carried at with efficiency and friendliness. It was like a home from home atmosphere. I would recommend this Hotel to anyone wanting cleanliness, a comfortable room and friendly staff.

Good location atm before the apartment building is fully built which will block Darling Harbour view. Rooms comfortable but bathrooms had much wear and tear. Free water in lobby and a handy coffee bar if not wanting the full breakfast.
