Gordon W 26/11/2020 TripAdvisor review

We stayed one night here for a nearby theatre event. Great staff. Great rooms. It's still our favourite Sydney hotel. The neighbourhood has lots of great eateries and drinkeries - but forget the pumphouse next door - tired and dirty bar/bistro. That part doesn't live up to the quality of the rest of the hotel.

Thanks for your note Gordon W, We're so pleased you enjoyed your time with us, and look forward to welcoming you back again. Thanks for your comments concerning Pumphouse - we look forward to sharing exciting updates on this iconic venue soon. Regards Scott

Paddy Solo - 20/11/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Within the constraints imposed by COVID19, the hotel provides excellent accommodation and services. Off site parking is close by and, while it seems expensive, it conveniently meets the need. The rooms are excellent - a good range of well located power outlets including USB outlets for phone charging is a welcome recognition of today's needs. The absence of a mini bar and snack choices is, presumably, due to COVID19 and will be welcome if returned when possible as would delivery (early) of morning newspapers.

Christie Families - 17/11/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

My husband, 4 year old and I stayed at Novotel Darling Square on the weekend and had a fantastic time. The location was perfect with plenty of places to eat out, close to an amazing park with water play for my son, walking distance to the aquarium and other interesting sites (Market City, CBD, Chinese Gardens, etc). The staff were very helpful - remembering what my son had for breakfast the day before and having that ready for us quickly, the breakfast was delicious and I was happy to have it included in the package! Parking, whilst offsite, was nearby and convenient - we could unload the car at the door, drive around and park and it was a short walk back to the hotel. They had great COVID safe practices in place - sanitizer available at multiple points, restricted numbers in the pool and gym, distancing in the restaurant (set times to attend). We felt very safe. I highly recommend this hotel for couples and families! Or even if you were travelling on business. We didn't explore the babysitting option that was available on request - that would be my only regret!

Jayne E. Friends - 17/11/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Pleasing checkin and really great location. King suite had a great bed and pillows but way too small bathroom and a basic thing like a shower cap not provided. Bath gel didn’t work it was broken, soap not replaced in the room, dirty towels left in room but fresh towels given??? Why. We booked a luxury escape and were given the$30 voucher. The pump house would only accept it for1 beer not $30 we felt ripped off. Breakfast only had one healthy option avocado no fruit or yoghurt or cereal on offer at all. Disappointing these kind of ruined the experience

Smooth Checkin, Quiet room as we like it. Had to check Out early as we had meetings to attend. But we wanted to leave late. Reception kept our room so we could shower and freshen up before 3.5 hour drive home. Yes not busy due to COVID but staff were great to help out and understand to give us some relax time after Biz. Centre of Sydney so easy walk & trams get you there quick. Thankyou.
