Close to either the light rail, ferry or bus the only down side is much of the view now obscured from the windows facing the harbour side (north west, towards central). Would recommend as a handy location to Darling Harbour if walking is no issue. Much closer to the old Star Casino. Excellent staff and enjoyable place to have a quiet afternoon at the Ternary Bar.

Breakfast was good but the line to get a table was a 15 min wait. Check in and check out staff were super friendly. Room service operator could have been friendlier, they sounded like we woke them up at 10pm for icecream. We cancelled the order as it sounded like we inconvenienced them. The bar closes at 10pm, I thought it definitely should be open till midnight as people checking in late and were being turned away for a night cap. We arrived about 9pm thought we would go and find somewhere for dinner near by as the restaurant was closed, but the only place we could find open was a kebab shop. Next time we will just order room service. Overall we had a lovely time in Sydney for the weekend.

Whilst room and bed was fine and had obviously had a refurbish. The bathroom was terrible . The shower recess had mould to the tiled area and some black mould at floor corners. The hand basin had been broken and roughly repaired with silicone There was rust at both sides of bathroom door at floor level and rust stains to tiles. The area under the hand basin had buildup of soap and scum where tiles met the floor for approx 1.5 metres. All in all disappointing and not up to the standard of other Novatel Hotels we have stayed at.
