Stayed 2 nights for a conference. The food from the restaurant was excellent and the breakfast offering was as good as anywhere in the world. The room was comfortable and well maintained. My only negative is that the room was very dark, even with all of the lights on it was hard to see things in a suitcase.

the person who checked me in upon my arrival during the ~ 1030 AM of October 10th- he took a lot of time in finding my reservation that had been booked through ICLAF 2026 .. he asked me to go to a different NOVOTEL site as he could not find me - after several minutes of frustrating ~ 20 -30 minutes, he finally found me but that was only after my insistence and arguing ( my airflight was a very long one- I had come from Seattle-San Francisco and then to Sydney ( altogether ~ 18 hr air travel time and thus very exhausted .. was shocked to note that I had no reservation !! ) .. Also , when I checked out on October 14th , they could not find me and was puzzled- I asked for a print out confirmation of my hotel stay - October 10th through October 13th and check out October 14th - I needed it for records at my university back in settle -they refused to print one for me also , my room( 325) was never cleaned .. and despite informing a young man who was cleaning other rooms in the vicinity on the 3rd floor -on October 11th, I brought this to the attention of house keeping and they stated they will send someone in at ~ 630 pm- This never materialized -I registered my complaint with the front desk staff at ~ 1030 pm as I had come back to the room and found the room to be NOT cleaned .. at the time of check out, I reported this to the person at the front desk when I handed back my key and asked for a compensated /.. the front desk person simply asked me to talk to the the event person who had arranged my stay as they could /would not compensate anything to me directly

The hotel is situated at a convenient location, and has really spacious rooms. Housekeeping staff did a great job keeping the room clean. Breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of options, food was fresh and tasty. The pastries, especially the plain croissants, were exceptional.

Anne B. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

My husband and I recently enjoyed another excellent stay at the Novotel at Darling Harbour. For this trip I had to go to the Sydney Eye Hospital in Macquarie Street for cataract surgery and we thought that DH would be a good choice for easy access. We had allowed plenty of time for a 7.45am arrival time but were surprised to find that the trip took us barely 10 minutes. My husband was able to return to the Novotel for breakfast and a rest before picking me back up at 11am. Again, we enjoyed dining at the First Floor Bar the first night where the food is always delightful. On our second night we had room service which was delivered hot and in very good time. We always enjoy the Reserved Parking on arrival - after a 4 hour drive to Sydney it is so good to not have to drive around seeking a car parking spot. Thank you again for that. The Novotel Management is to be commended for the high standard of all personnel. From the Concierges on Ground Level to the Bar and Restaurant Staff and Reception Staff on Level One to Housekeeping - we have found almost everyone engaging and efficient. If I could offer one criticism it is this: the lack of adequate Reception staff on check in and check out. I prefer not to do a Quick Check out but nearly always find that I do resort to that as queues are invariably long when I attempt to check out - and similarly on check in. Reception Staff themselves work as efficiently as they can, but it only takes one or two clients with a complicated check in to hold everyone up for long periods. Quite often there are only one or two staff operating. Occasionally, an extra staff or two appear and the queues quickly diminish.

Well 1st off, our room was dirty, we were moved to another room which wasn’t that clean either, both mornings our breakfast was cold!!

Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry that the cleanliness of both rooms fell short of expectations and that your breakfast was cold on both mornings. I understand how disappointing it must have been to experience these issues, particularly after having to move rooms. This is not the standard we aim to provide, and your comments will be shared with our housekeeping and food and beverage teams for review. I would appreciate the opportunity to welcome you back for a much-improved stay. Should you consider giving us another chance, please feel free to contact me directly. Kind Regards, Veronika Hojdarova Operations Manager Novotel Sydney on Darling Harbour
