    Magnificent Harbour View”

    We arrived early at the hotel before check in time and was offered to top up for an upgrade with early check in, late check out and free welcome drink at the bar. Without hesitation, we agreed with it. Early check in was not early however. We waited nearly one hour for the room and by the time it was ready, it was only less than 30 minutes before the actual check in time. Since we are a family of 4, the upgraded room was equipped with a normal queen bed and a sofa bed. We initially regretted paying for the upgrade for a not so sturdy sofa bed, but it turned out acceptable. We had good rest. The view was indeed magnificent, especially at night. The location is also good, where the light rail was within walking distance. The room was clean and housekeeping was well done through our 3-night stay. Overall, recommended for the price paid.

    Nice hotel for a Novotel”

    Facilities are fantastic!! Ground floor with the restaurants and cafes are very neat and the service is very professional, great cocktails!! The view from the room is nice but with the construction work going on it can hinder slightly, overall very comfortable stay

    A Hotel located at most tourist attractions ”

    The location of the hotel is very good that you can reach fishing market in walking distance to the west and Darling Harbour attraction and the Star to the East. The room can be upgraded to higher floor with better view. August may not be the peak season in Sydney but the hotel has been very busy with groups. Consider rooms in higher floor, may you feel more comfort then.
