$35 for a rissoto that was the size of a kids meal! Waited in bar for drinks while staff talked and looked at their phone. Mould all in bathroom. Platinum member and no acknowledgment!

I know you are trailing a self checking in service, but to be honest I hate it. This might work in a Coles or a Woolworths but it really detracts from the whole experience of arriving at a hotel. I don't want convenience, I want service. The other thing is Birdie restaurant seems to be running as a separate entity to the hotel. If I order something I have to pay a different entity and be sent a separate invoice via email. I just want one invoice upon checking out, not multiple invoices and payments. Also because of this I can't order my complimentary drink as room service, so I need to go downstairs to get the drink, not ideal.

Dear Simon, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your recent stay with The Novotel Sydney City Centre. We sincerely appreciate your honesty, as it helps us identify areas where we can improve the guest experience. We regret to hear that our self check-in service did not meet your expectations. While we introduced this option for guests who prefer a quicker arrival process, we completely understand your desire for a more personalized check-in experience. Please know that our front desk team is always available to assist you with a traditional check-in, and we’ll ensure this is made clearer to avoid any confusion in the future. Regarding your comments about Birdie restaurant, we apologize for the inconvenience caused by the separate billing process. We are currently reviewing this system to streamline payments and provide a unified invoice at checkout, as we agree this would offer a more seamless experience. Additionally, we’ve noted your feedback about the complimentary drink and will explore ways to extend this offering to room service for greater convenience. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide the exceptional, personalized service you deserve. Please feel free to reach out to me directly at [email/phone] if you’d like to discuss further. Kind Regards Patrick Padilla Front Office Manager

Max B. Friends - Confirmed reviews ALL

I prepaid this hotel prior to my holiday including the late checkout at 5pm I even confirm with reception that we had late checkout. The first issue with this hotel the water from the shower was leaking outside the bathroom and onto the carpet. The next issue I found was the cleaner banging and opening our door at roughly 9am even though we had a do not disturb tag on the door disturbing our sleep since we didn’t get home until the early hours of the morning. About a hour to and hour and a half later someone from reception came up to our room and once and banged on our door and opened it asking why we haven’t checked out to which I explained that we had paid for a late checkout. Then another hour to hour and a half later someone else came banging on our door again and opened it asking why we haven’t checked out and that this point I was pissed off so I told him to go away we have late checkout and I already told the last guy that came up check your computer and slammed the door on him. Overall by the time I had to get up I had almost 0 sleep as I do not go to sleep easily. Furthermore our keycards stopped working at around 12pm and we couldn’t get back to our room. I am extremely disappointed with the disorganisation with the staff having the inability to read a computer and see that we had late checkout.
