Paula M. A. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

Condition of rooms worn. Gym rediculous, both in terms of equipment (no rower, wasted space on leg lift apparatus inside gym who would use that?) and also for the hours. If you have a business day then you have to choose between gym and breakfast. In room dining menu doesn’t have much healthy.

Greetings Paula, Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your recent stay. I appreciate your comments about our location; however, I regret that the condition of the rooms did not meet your expectations. Your observations regarding the gym facilities and the in-room dining menu are duly noted. We continually strive to enhance our offerings, and your input is invaluable in this process I hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future for an improved experience. Warm Regards, Andrew Austen Guest Experience Manager Novotel Sydney on Darling Harbour

Once we found the hotel it was a lively check-in but we were dissatisfied with the room fridge as we didn’t even have bottled water - I thought this was a bit rude tbh

Rooms need a little upgrade. Room I was dark and a couple of fixtures in the toilet weren't working to their best (e.g. drying, drainage was cracked, light in room wasn't working.)

Ronny S. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

Very dated room, barely any water pressure, asked for different room on checkin but allegedly nothing available even though I could have booked higher category room on the spot for the same day via the App. The room I had wasn’t ready on arrival around 1pm which is fine as checkin is only from 2pm. I was told they’d request the room to be done next and I’d get a call once it was ready. I waited at the bar - 3 hours later, no call, no update. Went back to the checkin desk and the room was ready. The room 645 was allegedly an upgrade but it was extremely dated and dark. I have stayed dozen of times over the last 10years at this Hotel and it was my favorite in Sydney. Never had such an embarrassing room. Definitely not Novotel Standard - I’ve been to multiple Mercure, Breakfree and Ibis which have been much more luxurious and what was offered here. At this point I was just disappointed and told myself it’s only one night. In summary I felt staff at checkin was friendly but unhelpful, not much recognition of loyalty as a gold member, definitely not in room. The gold welcome package is a small package of water and 3 tiny cookies - it used to be chocolate and a wine bottle. 1 still water as recognition of gold membership - 30+ nights stayed per year? There are plenty other places where water is complimentary to anyone and presentation is much nicer. Also there used to be a concierge service reaching out a few days prior arrival to arrange any on-arrival-requests whether chargeable or not. This seems have been missed or eliminated as it didn’t happen. Checkout process - “Elite / Member counter” was unmanned. The standard counter was efficient but unfriendly. Greeted the staff and barely got a “good morning” back. Followed by a “it’s done” once she checked the room number and looked at me without any further word. I asked for the invoice to be emailed which was done. I shouldn’t have to ask or request an invoice whether it’s paper copy or via email. Not sure if it was a terrible experience because it’s one week before Christmas although the hotel didn’t appear to be to be fully booked or if service is not being in focus anymore as the view is being built out with the development next door. It’s a shame, this used to be a great place to stay and I went out of my way to stay there when in Sydney. Need to look for alternatives now.

Greetings Ronny, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent stay with us. I sincerely regret to learn about the various issues you encountered, as it is our goal to provide a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all our guests. I apologize for the inconvenience you faced with the room assignment and the delay in your check-in process. While we strive to accommodate requests for early check-in, it is contingent upon room availability and cleaning schedules. I appreciate your patience during this time. I also understand your disappointment with the condition of the room and the amenities provided for our gold members. Your loyalty is greatly valued, and I will ensure that your concerns regarding the welcome package and the lack of concierge outreach are communicated to the relevant teams for consideration. Furthermore, I regret that the checkout experience did not meet your expectations. Our aim is to provide efficient and friendly service, and I will address this with our front desk team. Thank you for your loyalty over the years, and I hope we may have the opportunity to restore your faith in our hotel in the future. Warm Regards, Andrew Austen Guest Experience Manager Novotel Sydney on Darling Harbour
