This was a fabulous family get away! In the perfect location and staff were amazing, especially the cleaners. The pool was freezing even on a warm day. The pillows were uncomfortable- more selection would have been nice but overall a great stay!

The Novotel has been a fixture of Darling Harbour for as long as I can remember. It is a nice hotel and provides good value given its location. Only unfortunate thing is that access to the hotel is not directly accessible from DH and requires a bit of meandering. Still, would recommend!
