The rooms are a little tired and need some attention. We swapped our room as wasn’t happy with outlook, size and carpet had sticky stuff left on it. Got changed to a Deluxe and it was much nicer. Anita at reception was so lovely and accomodating to what we wanted. Buffet breakfast was amazing. Unfortunately view is mostly construction. Overall it was comfortable and okay for our 2 night stay.

Novotel Darling Harbour is well positioned, great staff and really comfortable beds. The rooms are tired and in need of refurbishment. The vanity basin was cracked and had been repaired really badly, with the coating applied to cover the crack peeling. Pillows are terribly uncomfortable and out of 8 pillows in the room only one didn't feel like sleeping on a brick. The toilet paper is something you expect in a 1-Star hotel or public toilet. The grab rail in the bathroom is loose which is a safety hazard. The staff were really helpful in providing accessible parking as one of our party is not very mobile. Overall a good experience but the place is in need of attention and it looks like they're cost cutting to increase profits.

The property is overall spacious and clean- I stayed for work and it was very convinient for walking to the ICC. I found the water pressure very poor, especially in the shower it really needs a new showerhead.
