I was upgraded to a suite which was unexpected and very nice. I thought the furniture was a little hard and not as comfortable as I would have liked. There was limited seating space in my room. The bed was very comfortable and clean.

The property is well presented and the breakfast and service was great! The rooms are a bit outdated and not worth what we paid. The rooms are so dark! Even the light in the bathroom not great for applying make up. The block out blind was the highlight! So much construction around that you can’t see anything. Service and staff were phenomenal

Service was brilliant but the quality of the facilities were below what you'd expecr from the bright pictures you see online. The door hinges in the bathroom were rusted on one side, the bathtub looks like it needs a complete refresh, the room needs brighter lighting as the carpets and the decor are quite dark.

Novotel Darling Harbour is well positioned, great staff and really comfortable beds. The rooms are tired and in need of refurbishment. The vanity basin was cracked and had been repaired really badly, with the coating applied to cover the crack peeling. Pillows are terribly uncomfortable and out of 8 pillows in the room only one didn't feel like sleeping on a brick. The toilet paper is something you expect in a 1-Star hotel or public toilet. The grab rail in the bathroom is loose which is a safety hazard. The staff were really helpful in providing accessible parking as one of our party is not very mobile. Overall a good experience but the place is in need of attention and it looks like they're cost cutting to increase profits.
