Lovely staff upon arrival, fantastic bar and service area. Lovely breakfast with a massive variety of food. Very large spacious room that would have had amazing views if it wasn’t for the huge building block that is being built right in front of it (unfortunate for the Novotel as it blocks the view of the harbour which devalues the views). Would definitely stay here again.

Day two was bu...

Staff were friendly and courteous (front desk, restaurant, concierge) I left phone ch...

The hotel is in a perfect location—just a few minutes’ walk to the Convention Centre and right near the vibrant Darling Harbour area. The breakfast was amazing with plenty of fresh options, and the coffee was excellent—a great way to start the day. The foyer and bar area are stylish and welcom...
