My stay at the hotel was lovely. The room was in Novotel vogue, very clean, and well-presented, although there were a couple of chips in the doors and fittings. The Nespresso pod machine was a nice touch that made it feel like home. The service was friendly, but there were some minor issues that could be improved. The location was just perfect, near various attractions, but there were a few hiccups with room allocation. The dining experience was good overall, with improvements noticed since my last visit.

The hotel is in a great location, with plenty of dining options nearby. The rooms are spacious with 2 queen beds, perfect for families, although only 2 beds in total. The service was efficient overall, but missed conveying important dining information. The dining experience offers good in-house dinner options, but could be enhanced by adding more variety. The location is excellent for a family stay during the Christmas period, close to Darling Harbour and China Town. The facilities are adequate, with a quality buffet breakfast available for order the day before.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were spacious and had everything I needed, including a good desk and excellent wireless connectivity. The bed was comfortable, but the bathroom was a bit small. The service was fantastic, with staff being helpful and nice. The location was excellent, within a short walking distance to Centre point tower and Darling Harbour.

The hotel's location is central and convenient, near Chinatown and Central station, making it easy to access transport, restaurants, and attractions. The rooms are simple but comfortable and clean, offering a comfy bed and a walk-in shower. The service provided by the hotel staff far surpassed my expectations, as they were lovely, obliging, and very helpful. The dining experience was highly overrated, lacking variety and not meeting my expectations. Despite some drawbacks, the value for money is reasonable.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The staff were incredibly helpful and eager to assist with all my needs. The rooms were spacious, quiet, and well-equipped, providing a comfortable environment for a good night's sleep. However, the presence of cockroaches and insects due to the lack of a screen door was a downside.

Staying at Novotel Sydney was a mixed experience. The rooms were comfortable and well laid out but weren't ready upon check-in. It was great for sleeping, although the experience could have been enhanced. The service was friendly overall, but a noticeable issue with the room quality detracted from the experience. The location was excellent, offering easy access to transportation, shopping, and dining options, making it a good choice for exploring Sydney. The dining experience had some positive aspects but could improve in terms of variety. Overall, a decent stay with room for enhancement.

The hotel is ideally located near Central Station and convenient for exploring various areas in Sydney.

The hotel's rooms were looking a bit tired and dark, not overly welcoming, more in line with an Ibis Budget or Holiday Express quality but with bigger room space. The service was fantastic with staff being very friendly and accommodating to all our requests. The location was central, close to major attractions like Darling Harbour and Chinatown, making it convenient for exploring the area. The dining experience had a fantastic juicer but was underwhelming overall. The facilities were well-maintained and pleasant.
