A once fantastic family venue, obviously facing closure, without much dignity. Restaurant was closed. Staff numbers low. A great shame.

Great place to stay. Check-in was quick and easy, plus they allowed me late check out till 1230. Room was very clean and bed and pillow was comfortable. View of Darling Harbour was the best. Was in walking distance to Star City, restaurants and shopping but also light rail stop right in front of hotel. Buffet breakfast was delicious and had lots of variety but make sure you get there early as it gets very busy. Would definitely come back.

Found the Novotel to be very pleasant. The staff were very helpful. Room was spotless, quiet. Hotel was just a short walk to anywhere in Darling Harbour and the light rail stop just out back was perfect. Will definitely stay at here again.
