Great place to stay. Check-in was quick and easy, plus they allowed me late check out till 1230. Room was very clean and bed and pillow was comfortable. View of Darling Harbour was the best. Was in walking distance to Star City, restaurants and shopping but also light rail stop right in front of hotel. Buffet breakfast was delicious and had lots of variety but make sure you get there early as it gets very busy. Would definitely come back.

Found the Novotel to be very pleasant. The staff were very helpful. Room was spotless, quiet. Hotel was just a short walk to anywhere in Darling Harbour and the light rail stop just out back was perfect. Will definitely stay at here again.

After some confusion with parking, eventually we hiked and made the hotel. They were lovely and checked us in early, which was kind. Unfortunately, our room was quite dirty. Walls and floor not very clean, very suspect stains on some of the washers/hand towels, which obviously hadn’t been checked or changed. Our car was parked so far away that we couldn’t be bothered moving all of our luggage in, so we gave up. Travelling with kids, we were tired and Ubered dinner. Unfortunately no cutlery anywhere in sight. Room was quite small, I guess to be expected in the location, but still not great. Breakfast buffet had huge selection, including bakery section which was nice. Overall, pretty disappointing for the price. Wouldn’t stay again.
