Gary W. Couples - 2/10/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Very welcoming staff, comfortable quiet room.

Dear Gary, Thank you for your positive feedback. It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed your time at Novotel Sydney Darling Square. We’re delighted our team made you feel welcome from the moment you arrived. Your kind words about the check-in experience are truly appreciated and will be shared with the colleague you mentioned. That said, we regret the seating in your room didn’t meet your expectations. While our rooms are designed with a focus on modern functionality, we’re always exploring ways to enhance comfort. Nonetheless, we’re glad you found your stay restful and enjoyed the tranquil atmosphere. Being steps away from Darling Harbour’s vibrant attractions makes us a perfect base for exploring Sydney. We look forward to welcoming you back. Best wishes, Matthew Hill, General Manager

Allan L. Couples - 2/10/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Walkable to CBD and all the restaurants, etc. of Darling Harbour. Christena took very good care of us at breakfast each day, remembering our preferences and love for their very tasty banana bread :)

Dear Allan, Thank you very much for your kind feedback. We’re delighted you enjoyed your stay at Novotel Sydney Darling Square. It’s wonderful to hear you appreciated our convenient location near Darling Harbour and the CBD. We’re also thrilled our breakfast offerings added to your experience, and that Kristina and Marco made your visit memorable. Your recognition of our sustainability efforts with the housekeeping opt-out option means a lot as we strive to reduce our environmental impact. We look forward to welcoming you back on a future occasion. Best wishes, Matthew Hill, General Manager

Kimberley M. Couples - 2/9/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

all was great, except for the parking which was a bit difficult and very confusing to get to and from the Hotel if you are not familiar driving in the city.

Dear Kimberley, Thank you for sharing your opinion about your time at our hotel. We’re thrilled your stay with us was brilliant overall. Our team takes pride in ensuring every guest feels welcome, and your kind words about our Gold status benefits are much appreciated. That said, we regret any confusion surrounding parking accessibility during your visit, which can be challenging in our central Darling Square location. Despite this, we hope our prime position near Chinatown and Darling Harbour allowed you to explore Sydney’s vibrant offerings effortlessly. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Best wishes, Matthew Hill, General Manager

Leonie E. Solo - 2/9/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

This hotel was amazing! I checked in very late because I booked a hostel in Sydney first. But I was a nightmare there. To arrive in this beautiful hotel was such a big difference. The service was amazing and I got a big clean room with great view and king size bed. I slept very well, it was quiet and comfortable. Also the Hotel Pool has a nice view and was lovely to stay in while it was raining. It was also very easy to extend my room for one more night. The Location at the darling square and right next to china town is very good. You can easily catch a train or go out for dinner. It was amazing, I highly recommend to book this hotel while you stay in Sydney!

Dear Leonie, Thank you for your positive feedback. We are delighted you found our hotel to be such a positive change during your Sydney stay. Your kind words about Bridget’s welcoming approach and our convenient check-in process make us proud of our team’s efforts. It’s great to know your room provided the comfort and space you needed after traveling, and that our pool added to your relaxation despite the weather. Being steps from Chinatown and Darling Square means our guests can easily explore, and we’re glad this worked well for your plans. We truly appreciate you choosing Novotel Sydney Darling Square as your haven in the city. We look forward to welcoming you back on a future occasion. Best regards, Matthew Hill, General Manager
