Reasonable price given the cost of staying in Sydney is generally high. Perfect location for a conference, however poor signage from transport (tram) through public carpark to hotel - single sign at ground level of carpark lifts, but no signage for what level to exit. Executive room very spacious and perfect for work. Great views and servicing of room. Great... More

I have previously had bad experiences with some Accor properties but this one is a good one. For parking, if you unload your luggage at the foyer and you don't mind walking up a ramp to reception, park in the Convention Centre parking next door. You can park here virtually underneath the Novotel. Novotel charge $45 or $46 per night.... More

great location and very quiet at night. Saturday parking a bit difficult, but alternatives close by, and the hotel paid the difference when you produce the receipt!! concierge was very helpful and provided a local map describing where to park.

If you can get a harbour view, the view is spectacular and makes for a wonderful stay. It was everything you'd expect in a 5* hotel - and my wife kept mentioning about this 5* hotel - but I found out that it is - in fact - an unassuming 4* . So it punched above its weight! Well done,... More

Novotel on Darling Harbour is in an excellent location within walking distance to excellent bars and restaurants. Look out for the happy hours. Star casino only around the corner. Very comfortable beds and block out blinds for a great night sleep. Nice buffet breakfast.

We came to the conclusion the higher up the building the better the rooms. When we arrived we were given the 'best room in the hotel' which turned out to be one of the rooms a few doors away from the reception. We asked if there were other rooms available and were shown other rooms on other floors. Were opted... More

The location is just fantastic - especially now Ultimo has such great coffee shops and eateries - head north west, not east to the very touristy Darling Harbour precinct :-). The service and maintenance is as expected from Novotel, clean, efficient, friendly but nothing to write home about :-)

Bathroom was good but the shower head no adjustments and there was only shampoo, soap and body wash. No dressing gown or slippers.
