We booked this a bit late (the morning we arrived at Sydney airport!) and stayed in a darling harbour view room. The view was fantastic especially at night, the beds (2 doubles and a couch) were really comfortable and the room itself was spacious and very nice. Did not eat here so cannot comment on that, the reception staff were... more

We booked this hotel on lastminute.com.au. They offer "secret hotels" at good prices, you don't find out which hotel you've got until you book it. Anyway we decided to be adventurous and used this option. The location was good. Unfortunately we did not get a room with a view, we had a noisy street beside our window instead. My advice:... more

First of all, I read all the reviews and they were pretty much right on. I can't say enough about the harbor view, WOW! The pictures are accurate for decor, but watch out for room size. Harbor view rooms come with two double beds or 1 queen with a chair. Ours did not have a couch (as shown in pictures... more

Me and my wife stayed 3 nights in this hotel in march 2008. We choose it because of the ratings we read in tripadvisor. Overall i must say, that it is was a good choice. The hotel is located in darling harbour, so you are just in a few minutes in the center of sydney. The furniture in the hotel... more

...and I agree. Where do I start? oh - the Internet...3rd world speeds at sky high prices. If the hotel contracts this service, they need to cancel it - it is tragically unusable. We stayed in a double room street side (not harbour side) and the hotel room is more bland than boiled old beans. Back in 1992, this may... more

Stayed here for one night over easter weekend. Hotel was pretty busy, but staff were very attentive. Room was massive and renovated with huge daybed. Bed itself wasnt that comfortable with felt like a double and not queen like they said. It was a bit odd the hotel had a pokie room next to reception with no bar, just pokies. more

A poor hotel. Rude staff. No facilities to speak of. I left a package to be delivered to a colleague's room and it was never seen again. Rock hard bed, lurid coloured room. Great location though. So forget about the hotel and wander down the quay for a beer or two. more

The hotel has a convenient location but it ends there. Concierge were not too helpful getting us a taxi...which was took ages to arrive even if you book in advance. The room was nice but the beds were too soft it was so uncomfortable. You will not get a good night's sleep here. more

We arrived at the Novotel around 4pm and were promptly checked in. The decor in the lobby gave a good indication as to what we could expect in the rest of the hotel. This place in need of a major overhaul as it is somewhat tired looking and very dark. The room was adequate and the view was spectacular, which... more
