Apart from a slight hitch with access after the standard check out time despite an approved late check-out this was a great stay with a good buffet breakfast. We really liked the opportunity to juice our own fruit selection as part.of the buffet

Good Stay

Ranjanfernando 5/4/2022 TripAdvisor review

buffet breakfast was ok, but I expected more variety of food for the price you pay. The stay, room and everything else was good. It was clean and tidy. staff was friendly as well. Close to China town and Market city for all your food/clothing at a bargain price.

Dear Ranjanfernando, Thank you very much for a fantastic review! It is always a pleasure to receive positive feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to provide us with your feedback. We look forward to welcoming you back in the near future! Kind Regards, Maxim Hickling Assistant Manager

Beautiful place with staff and selected.

Leanne M 12/16/2021 TripAdvisor review

My beautiful Sisters and I were treated like absolute royalty. We received amazing upgrades to the top floor suite, beautiful platters of food, wine and bubbles and a check in that was superb. The joy of catching up after two years for some of us was made even more wonderful with staff celebrating with us. The food was beautiful for breakfast and nibblies at lunch. Cocktails are very well priced in jugs. We had ordered a cab and when it didn't turn up, darling Bradd tried hailing them for us. All staff were extraordinary. Absolutely handpicked. Felise and Bradd were standouts The beds are the most comfortable I've slept in for ages. The rooms are freshly painted, the hotel atmosphere in the foyer is lovely. Please make this your first choice. 5 minutes to Paddy's, 10 minutes to Darling Harbour and close to trains and buses.

Dear Leanne, Thank you for your recent stay at the Novotel Sydney Central. 5/5 is an excellent score! It was truly a pleasure to be welcoming a valued Diamond member to come stay with us and it is amazing to hear that you were treated like royalty, as you should! It is great to hear that you enjoyed our Thomas St. Kitchen and Bar offerings and the team were extraordinary. I will be sure to pass your thanks to Felise and Bradd for making your stay extra memorable, we really appreciate your kind words. Thank you for your loyalty to Accor and we look forward to be welcoming you back in the near future! Kind Regards, Nicolette Ng Front Office Manager

Great choice for stay-cation central

NowMoreWellTravelled 7/7/2020 TripAdvisor review

Coming out of lockdown but limited to travel within our own city, decided to stay in one of the larger rooms in Novotel Sydney Central The suite, though roomy enough, was good size for our shorter stay. Fitout is reasonable though small things such as a wobbly main table could be improved Perhaps due to numbers of guests, the floor was quite quiet and despite central city location, no issues with sleep Partially because the hotel was coming back on-stream, I felt the service was even better than the high usual standards, with front desk particularly accommodating to our family's needs and very welcoming to the boisterous brood Food service was a touch on slower side but given revised guest/staff ratios understandably so; breakfast itself remained delicious The location, at the heart of Chinatown, is still great; so many eat options regardless of wallet, plus close to light rail/Central/buses so convenient to get around the entire city

Dear NowMoreWellTravelled, Thank you for your recent stay with us at the Novotel Sydney Central. We are glad to hear that you had an amazing stay from our welcoming team to our delicious breakfast, and that you found our location convenient for all your needs! Thank you for providing your valuable feedback, the little things definitely matter and I will ensure to pass on your feedback to the relevant departments to make sure everything is perfect. Should we have the pleasure of welcoming you back in the near future, please do not hesitate to let us know if there is anything we can do to make your stay more comfortable!

Great Location

Ryan C. Business - 6/27/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Check in was efficient and and all reception staff were very friendly throughout my stay. The bar staff were not as friendly for some reason. The room was comfortable and well appointed. The bed and pillows great. The bathroom was clean and nice, but the shower was an over bath one and was slightly awkward to get in and out of past the toilet. The toilet paper holder was under the vanity and was a big stretch to get to from the toilet. Location is what made this hotel a great choice, with a Woolworths and Bottle Shop a 2 min walk away, and a myriad of fantastic restaurants to choose from were surrounding the hotel, naturally the majority being different types of Asian cuisine due to being in Chinatown area.

Dear Ryan, Thank you for your recent stay at the Novotel Sydney Central. We are delighted to hear that you found your room comfortable for your stay and that our location is convenient to your needs. I trust that you had an enjoyable time with us. As for your concerns mentioned, I have passed your feedback on to ensure that the appropriate measures are taken to improve our services for our guests and we appreciate you taking the time to let us know. Thank you for your loyalty to Accor and we look forward to be welcoming you back in the future. Kind Regards, Nicolette Ng Assistant Front Office Manager

The hotel was understandably quite given Covid 19. However the young lady on reception who checked us in and out was very god at her job, very friendly, remembered our names and was extremely helpful with some issues getting out of the car park. These are the experiences that make people return to a hotel.
