Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Novotel Sydney City Centre enjoys a fantastic location, just a short walk from Wynyard train station and other public transport options, putting guests close to major attractions and making it easy to get around. Many guests found the rooms spacious and modern, with comfortable beds, and some rooms even feature balconies.

central location helpful staff larger bedroom inoperative lift small bathroom unclean carpet

the location was central, near circular quay and darling harbour. staff members were helpful . the room size was bigger than i expected.

parking was advertised, but the carpark lift was out of order. this meant carrying luggage up stairs, a definite inconvenience. the bathroom was quite small and toiletries required a request. the carpet seemed not clean.
