Novotel Sydney on Darling Harbour

Loved how this hotel was kids friendly and very nice for families. Breakfast buffet was good and the waiters were very friendly. They provided colouring activities for the kids to keep them occupied which was great.nRooms were clean but the bathrooms can use some upgrading and maintenance. Overall our stay here was great and kids enjoyed it.

Stayed in this hotel for a business trip - 3 days, 2 nights. The room I stayed in was spacious. However, the bathroom fixtures need updating, especially the sink! The food was okay, nothing special. Ordering food from room service after 10pm - you only had 2 choices, make sure you don't go hungry after 10pm! Just bring lots of snacks with you. Location was good, it was nice to walk by the harbour at night.

This is a good place to stay with family.nThings I loved here:n1. Awesome breakfastn2. Comfy reception arean3. Decent roomsn4. Room service - efficient and great foodnThings which could be better:n1.

One of the most amazing hotels we have ever stayed at. Room is fabulous, very large with a view of darling harbour to die for. Hotel is stunning with beautiful common areas, restaurant, bar, terraces, outdoor swimming pool, gym and tennis court. Staff are beautiful, so helpful, friendly, pleasant. Having a fabulous time. 5 star all the way. Highly, highly recommend!!

What a service! I took my son to stay at the hotel for his birthday. We've got a room overlooking Cockle Bay Wharf. Stunning view, esp the night view. To me, this is the most beautiful part of Sydney. We love the hotel, this is our second stay this year. Love it. I also love the fact that there's a bath tub in the room which you don't find it available in most hotels. And this time we found a new treasure - Deep Nature amenities which is new to the hotel. They are absolutely lovely. The scent, the freshness, and how my hair feels after the wash. It adds extra points on top of everything else.

Staff were amazing. Room was clean, beds comfy. 2 down lights for the entire room is rough especially when only 1 working. Needed to use all lamps to be able to see anything, reminded me of camping outdoors 😅nBathroom was spacious but pipe under sink looks like its been leaking for a long time.nWould stay here again tho. Overall a pleasant experience. Thank you

Hotel itself is nice. On the harbour with sweet views. Food however.... Not vegan friendly. There is one option - garden salad. The concierge then pointed out there was a pub and a kebab shop a block up. Wow, thanks for the sweet Intel. Also for breakfast you can't even buy toast. TOAST! buffet breakfast sir....

Nice room and bathtub. Good location. Good service. Great buffet breakfast with very good variety of food with beautiful view.nRoom is not well soundproof. I can hear the noise outside of the room.nIt is a little tricky to walk back to the hotel, you will need to find the bridge to cross the road.

Loved our stay here. Reception staff were so friendly in checking us in. Helpful and answered our questions when needed. Rooms super clean and great cleaning staff, always friendly also and took pride in their job. Location was fantastic and central, close to ferry and quick walk k to the city. Could not fault anything about our stay.

Never staying here again.nFirstly, this is not a 4 star hotel. On arrival had to stand in a queue for over 20 min, since there was only one person at reception. That was around 12 ou2019clock at noon- not at night. The check in process was fine and the receptionist was helpful and accommodating.nBut then when I saw my u201cexecutiveu201d room I was severely disappointed. Firstly, the bed is definitely not a queen size bed, there was no robe and slippers (itu2019s included in the room description), and the bathroom is super old with a shower in an ancient bath tub with hardly any water pressure. Called about the bath robe and slippers and was told that itu2019s on request. True, the housekeeping was quite quick and brought the bath robe and slippers and also extra hangers.nnOn Friday night we came back from an outing only to find that our key was not working and had to go back to reception and get new ones. My feet were already killing me and the extra trip to reception didnu2019t bode well. The pillows are super uncomfortable and there is no pillow menu like in other 4 star hotels. For ~$400 a night itu2019s absolutely not worth it.

First guy at main reception didn't seem real friendly. Room and beds a bit smal but room and bathroom lovely and clean. Our view sucked compared to what we could of had. Bar and restaurant staff fabulous. Very friendly and great service. Bar and restaurant great place to hang out. Food was great. One thing I did notice on another review was the hotel charged more than the booking.com online price was. The same happened to us.

Room had plenty of space.nNice big window with a decent view of Darling Harbour and a backdrop of the City.nnThe staff are helpful and friendly.nnThey put on an awesome breakfast and have an amazing amount of variety. Even gluten free, i noticed.nnThey also have Late Checkout.nPerfect!

Was on lockdown.. don't have much to say
