A My wife and I recently spent two nights getaway in the Novotel Darling Harbour. We were very impressed with the hote and its facilities. The staff in all areas, reception, restaurant, bar, coffee shop and the cleaning staff were extremely welcoming and very friendly. The room was a good size, not a shoebox like the rooms in a couple of other hotels we’ve stayed in, and was really clean. The buffet breakfast was awesome, with a fantastic selection to choose from. The Hotel itself is a stones throw from Darling Harbour with a short walk through the carpark, which is conveniently located under the hotel. I will definitely stay at this hotel again during my next visit to Sydney.

The Novotel has been a fixture of Darling Harbour for as long as I can remember. It is a nice hotel and provides good value given its location. Only unfortunate thing is that access to the hotel is not directly accessible from DH and requires a bit of meandering. Still, would recommend!

Fantastic location, so close to Darling Harbour and easy walk to Pitt Street mall. Very very close to tram which was great as it was raining for majority of our stay. Rooms were spotless and beds very comfortable with different softness pillows. Rooms were sound proof it seems as didn’t hear any outside noise or next door rooms. Great black out shades on windows. The only complaint which isn’t really that bad was that check in is on the first floor instead of ground floor so carting luggage up to first floor then onto rooms and vice versa, no big deal though.

While this is very convenient for the convention centre (though signage to get there is limited!) and the basics are adequate, little things are annoying. There are very few little niceties: no robe, no free water (I put some from the tap in the glass in the fridge, and it froze!), no Earl Grey tea, and chamomile tea not topped up on the second night. Again, breakfast buffet is pleasant and adequate but no mushrooms or avocado. Nice barrista, but with only one machine and many people, service is slow. Again, downstairs bar is sensibly stocked, but very slow with cocktails.

The bathroom had a door stop that when the door was closed was kind of in the middle of the floor and my wife fell on this and hurt herself, we reported to reception but it seems to be the design of the bathroom but this is clearly a trip hazard.
