Lakshmi N. B. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

Staff were very friendly and also gave us a change in room after requesting as they had given small room

Dear Lakshmi N., It was a pleasure to receive this great review. We are delighted your family enjoyed our convenient location near Chinatown and Darling Harbour’s attractions. Our team takes pride in delivering friendly service and addressing every guest’s needs promptly, as seen when we arranged your room change. We also value your loyalty as an ALL Accor member. That said, we regret the breakfast selection did not meet your expectations. Our Pier Street Grill team strives to offer a diverse buffet daily with both local and international options. Finally, as you mentioned our proximity to vibrant areas like Chinatown, we hope you discovered the culinary delights at our nearby Pumphouse Sydney bar during your stay. We look forward to welcoming you back for another memorable stay in the future. Kind regards, Matthew Hill, General Manager

Siala C. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

The pool was advertised as heated, however it was only lukewarm. The door was open causing cold air to come in from the outside, we tried to close it but it was locked open. Due to this, our son became very sick, he tested positive for RSV a few days after our stay. Our son also lives with autism which stopped him from being able to enjoy his buffet breakfast due to the large amount of other guests who were present in the buffet area. Would the Novotel consider creating a quiet space in the corner for children with disabilities alternatively allow parents to take breakfast back to the room for children like ours to eat feeling safe.

Dear C., Thank you for sharing your point of view. We sincerely apologize that your experience fell short of the high standards we strive to maintain. Our indoor pool’s temperature is normally regulated for guest comfort, and we regret any oversight regarding the exterior door’s secure closure. While we design our public spaces to be welcoming for all visitors, we understand the breakfast environment could have been better suited for your son’s needs and will explore ways to accommodate similar requests in future. We all do hope to welcome you back in the future for a more enjoyable stay. Best regards, Matthew Hill, General Manager

Monica S. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

Really enjoy staying at Novotel Darling Square. The location is great, so many restaurants nearby and you can easily walk to everything. Public transport is so handy, a short walk to the light rail which made it easy to catch the airport train from Central. Also, the staff are all so friendly and accommodating. Nothing is too much trouble. Highly recommend.

Dear Monica, Please accept our sincere thanks for this glowing review. We’re delighted your experience at Novotel Sydney Darling Square left such a positive impression. It’s wonderful to know you found our central Darling Harbour location ideal for exploring Sydney’s vibrant offerings, and that our proximity to dining spots and transport links enhanced your stay. We’re also thrilled our team, especially Kristina, made you feel valued through their attentive service. Your appreciation of Pumphouse’s culinary adaptability and our ALL loyalty benefits is equally heartening. Your note about inconsistent bar service has been shared with our Food & Beverage Manager to refine staff training. While central locations come with energy, we’re committed to balancing this with seamless service. The entire team looks forward to seeing you again in the future. Kind regards, Matthew Hill, General Manager
