Guest Reviews
- Lucas (10/5): -
- Hilary (8/5): Great place to stay in Sydney. - Proximity to entertainment centre Nothing
- H (4/5): 不会再光顾 - 无 太多
- Ross (8/5): -
- Laura (10/5): Fantastic, convenient city stay - Friendly service, central location, stunning garden view and great facilities. The pool is a highlight.
- Susan (9/5): Walking distance to where we needed to go - Close to everything Parking, smelt bad in the reception area and bed was lumpy
- Anders (8/5): -
- Marni (10/5): - Location is close to TiTok Entertainment Centre and Chinatown. Our room overlooked the Autumnal Chinese Gardens.
- Janine (10/5): -
- Jenny (9/5): -

- Rachael (9/5): Great stay - Easy quick check in. Bed was super comfy awesome location There’s nothing I didn’t really like
- Jessica (10/5): - The convenient location to the TikTok Entertainment Centre! Comfy beds, nice shower. Nothing to dislike
- Holly (6/5): - Staff were really lovely! Breakfast was good value also It’s very small, only 8 levels and unfortunately not in the best spot for public transport (at least to where we needed to go). You also have to request all amenities for your room - nothing in fridge, no mini bar, a bare bathroom too. Bit of a strange design with the super heavy door swinging out blocking the toilet. Tight squeeze. Pool also very heavily chlorinated, silly me forgot to take my jewellery off and now they are very stained! But otherwise staff were lovely and breakfast was yum.
- Mary (9/5): Was a little expensive for one night but I guess that’s the going rate, but was an enjoyable stay. - The location for the Tiktoc entertainment centre was fantastic, so close. The room was clean and comfortable, comfy bed and well appointed bathroom
- wuttichai (10/5): -
- Wen (8/5): -
- John (8/5): Comfortable and nice staff - Area and it was clean No restaurant
- Raghvir (4/5): Uncomfortable and disappointed - It’s pretty convenient good place to be close to the city It’s pretty disappointing. I have requested for quilt and 30 minutes later they come up with the two bedsheets they say they didn’t have it because they’re busy
And also we were two adults and one kid and I have requested for a single bed which wasn’t fulfilled as well
Overall experience pretty disappointed not comfortable stay at all
All night, aircon wasn’t going great as well
- Whitney (9/5): Great location - Great location shops downstairs and short walk to tram stop

- Ludovic (7/5): -
- Stefannie (9/5): Enjoyed every minute - Fantastic location, friendly staff, close to TikTok Arena, Paddy’s Markets and some fantastic restaurants. Fantastic atmosphere and easy access to public transport. The lifts were VERRY slow in busy periods
- JiunnNan (8/5): -
- Tania (10/5): -
- Amanda (10/5): - Close proximity to everything Customer service was a bit flat . Not so engaging
- Xiaoming (9/5): -
- Diane (8/5): -
- Lisa (10/5): -
- Nina (7/5): - Location was amazing! It’s a little run down in the bathrooms and the gym was very small.
- Alex (10/5): - The staff very friendly rooms are very comfortable, Nothing
- The Saxby's (8/5): Thoroughly enjoyed Sydney and in a great locat - Breakfast was very good with the exception of the final morning when they ran out of mushrooms, bacon and pastries.
Staff were kind and apologetic
- MONICAH (9/5): Not withstanding what I didn’t like, I would stay again. - Location was excellent. Close to a number of good restaurants.
Tea and coffee were good.
Staff were friendly, the receptionists and the room attendants.
Will stay again for sure. The breakfast was a bit disappointing. The freshly cooked eggs were excellent but everything else in the buffet wasn’t.
Would be better if I logged once into the wifi for TV casting that I didn’t have to log in again and again.
- Amol (10/5): -
- Patricia (9/5): Very good food was good and staff absolutely amazing! - Location and the staff were so friendly helpful and welcoming Minor things the phone had a clock that was lighting up during the night and couldn’t reset it
- Asha (8/5): - Location was great 10-13mins walk from central station. Rooms modern, neat and clean. Awoke to staff knocking on room next door at 3:43am in the morning - this went on for sometime and was quite disrupting as we paid $288 for a night there and didn’t get to sleep through….
Our TV wasn’t plugged in and couldn’t access behind TV enough to fix ourselves.
Pool and gym quite small, not a huge deal breaker but if you’re someone who likes to swim laps this isn’t the location for you!
- Jenna (9/5): -
- Crystal (7/5): Overall, it’s pretty good. - Location!! Plenty of restaurants around. Beds are comfy. Reception was not picking up my calls. Amenities are by request. So I was trying to request dental kits. I had to go down to speak to reception. But then they might be busy.
- Helen (10/5): - Staff were very helpful. Kept us up to date with room readiness.
- Vincent (9/5): -
- Janine (8/5): - Location Breakfast
- Cassie (10/5): Warm and inviting with great breakfast - The hotel was exceptionally warm and inviting, all staff including the cleaning staff were all lovely The parking place was confusing to get to
- Donna (8/5): Really enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay again in the future. - Beautiful comfortable bed, clean, well-appointed room, great breakfast with loads of choice in the buffet. Great location, very easy walking distance to Darling Harbour area. There was a bit of noise from an adjoining room. The other guests weren't that noisy but could easily hear showers/toilets being flushed and people talking.
Didn't like that the stairs had doors locked on each level so using the stairs instead of the lift isn't an option.
- Dalton (10/5): -
- Shane (3/5): Room we eventually ended up in - the one we should have been put in, in the first place - was nice. - Location, Room Service. We paid for a King Size bed Superior Room. We were crammed into a Queen Size very standard room. Upon checking in the staff member tried to 'charge' me for the room when I explained I had already paid through booking.com they tried to argue they hadn't recieved payment from the site yet but would just have to 'take my word for it' before putting us in the wrong room. When I went down to explain we booked a king size room they offered to 'wheel another single mattress' into the room we had been placed in. After I declined this they finally offered to move us into the room WE PAID FOR. All in all, I don't appreciate being made to feel like the staff were doing me a favour by trusting I had in fact paid for the booking, to then be placed in the wrong room and then made to feel like an inconvenience when asked to be put in the room we paid for.
- Jenny (8/5): - Great location, easy access to transport and close to iconic Sydney attractions. The room was spacious and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. Sydney is a little over priced in regards to most things including accommodation.
- Varo (10/5): -

- Davide (8/5): -
- Kellie (10/5): - The hotel is so close to everything transport food entertainment Easy access
- Travellingschel (10/5): Perfect holiday stay, not in the CBD, but still easy access to everything - This hotel is in a great location - close to two light rail stops, nearby is Chinatown with an abundant variety of restaurants and also Darling Harbour with its own atmosphere. Not far is the magnificent children's playground , iMAX theatre, and the lovely Chinese Gardens are just next door. Close to the Entertainment Centre, and Conference Centres .. and there seems there is always something going on at Darling Harbour and has a great atmosphere in the evening. My room was spacious and bed comfortable with a choice of pillows. Dinner at the Pump House next door has easy access via internal door, and buffet breakfast near hotel lobby had good variety. I like how Novotel are doing sustainability well with no plastic liners in bins and separate container for recycling.
- Linda (10/5): Happy stay - Friendly service...v nice All ok
