Novotel Sydney Central reviews
5 Star Review by Jonno Barge
Absolutely brilliant hotel. Matt on the front desk was really friendly and very helpful. All the staff were amazing - nothing was any trouble when asking for any items such as some cutlery plates and bowls. Downstairs the fire place area is great for those cold days and nights. Pool and spa nice and hot. Although it did cool down it was hot when we got in. Possibly a thermostat issue. Nonetheless amazing place and will be back
5 Star Review by Abbey
Had a great stay at Novotel Sydney Central over the weekend with my family. A very central location, easy to get to public transport and local amenities. The room was spacious and tidy and made up each day which was lovely. We opted for the breakfast buffet each morning and it was amazing! So many options and the food was delicious - something for everyone. The reception staff really made our stay though. Special shoutout to the young girl who was working the night shifts she was so great with my young children and went above and beyond for us each night which was so appreciated. Would highly recommend staying here

My family were stranded by Qantas and were able to get a room very last minute late at night. After the most awful day of delayed and cancelled flights, we were greeted by the loveliest check in lady. We greatly appreciated the bottles of water and Tim tams! The room was perfectly clean and very large for the four of us. Bathroom was great and beds comfortable. Buffet breakfast was great the next morning and they even offer freshly cooked eggs to your liking. Cappuccinos were perfect. This hotel is wonderful value for money and all staff were so helpful and friendly.

Hands down the best hotel I have stayed at in Sydney. Location was great- 5 minute walk to Central station, very close to Chinatown restaurants and 20 minute walk to Darling Harbour area. My room was great, clean comfy bed (a little on the softer side) and quiet. The staff are so friendly and helpful too, they really make you feel welcome. Special mention to Bradd and the lovely girls that helped me with check in and check out, including storing my very heavy back pack when I checked out! Would Highly recommend.

This hotel is in die need of a revamp of the rooms. If you do not already have dust allergies, you may get it during your stay. Loyalty recognition is not worth it here. Spectacular location with the distance to central and food options however.

Bit of a late review, was due back in December 2021! Just wanted to give a little shout out to Lindsay/Lindo! Told her we were celebrating graduation, and she went out of the way to give us a little celebratory note and gave us a neat treat as well when we got back to our room - really made our day! Keep it up team!

Room had no AC. No air. We cannot get out. Drums, in the deep. We cannot get out. They are coming.... Edit: the staff were very helpful with refunding the remainder of our stay when we chose to abandon Sydney.

Booked the accommodation for Novotel brand and security only. But, it was mistake. Starting from the beginning to the end, had a terrible experience. We booked a double queen bed room. However, the receptionist said, we can early checkin if we opt for a King bed with an additional roller bed. I didn't know it was trap to down-grade. The roller-bed was a bed for patients only. All the amenities were old. Even the bathroom is not having good space. You can't close the door before squeezing yourself. We were on 10th floor and one day one of the lift was not working and they took hours to fix it. The worst part was when the housekeeping took our souvenir boxes which we noticed a day after. When I reported to the reception in the morning, they said, they are going to look into the matter and update me. Waited for hours and didn't receive a response from them. When I followed up, they said, they are looking into it and will keep me posted. During the afternoon, when I contacted the reception, the shift was over for the previous receptionist. So, I had to explain it again. However, no response till the night time. Then we requested to have a chat with the manager (hoping that he/she might help us). But, it looks like they all read the same of excuse. Such a shame. And, as expected, he all said that he will look into the issue and keep me posted. Till now I have not received anything. Instead of feeling sorry for the mess, they are looking for excuses. I will never ever stay in this place again. And, I also make sure none of my friends are going here. At least have some courtesy to apologies for your mistake. I chose Novotel for the security reason and found the thieves working there.
