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.

Absolutely below standard customer service and policies. We had a family medical emergency on the day of the check in and had to be in ED for almost 7 hours. We had to cancel our flight tickets as well. We requested multiple times to consider the booking for refund or some kind of voucher to be used in future but their team did not bother to even discuss the option with us and just sent an email that they have decided that there is no solution other that forfeiting the entire amount (approx AUD 1000 for two nights) Will not recommend Novotel as they lack empathy when the customer is undergoing emergency.

We chose Novotel Darling Harbour for our 21st anniversary celebration and it truly exceeded our expectations. The staff were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and efficient throughout our stay. We were thrilled to receive a complimentary upgrade from our Executive Room to an Executive Loft Suite, which made our celebration feel extra special. The suite was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable, with a beautiful view facing the harbour. It also featured an ensuite spa, which made the stay even more relaxing and perfect for our celebration. Great location, fantastic service, and a memorable experience all around. We would happily stay again and highly recommend this hotel for a special getaway.
