The staff made everything they could to make me feel extremely.
welcomed.
Reception was quick, efficient and helpful.
Rooms were very clean
Room rates were an amazing value
Had the smoked burger from the room service menu. DELICIOUS!!
I can't wait till I revisit the hotel very soon.

The staff were amazing here. Everyone we met was so helpful and lovely. The room was clean and well kept. The only downfall was there wasn’t many channels on the the tv and no movie channel. The pool was also unavailable but we will definitely be coming back.
R. H.
Rooms are decent and the breakfast offered is worth paying for. The barista was the gem of my whole trip. Made my drinks perfectly in the morning and when I had to check out and leave in a hurry and said I'd cancel my order, they made it fast and put it in a travel cup for me.

Stayed for many weeks with my family here. Definitely it was a super experience. We loved every morning the machine available during the bf to make our own natural juice (apples, carrots, celery, watermelon, orange).
The chefs is super nice and friendly. He game some advice to places to explore.
The cleaning service is done everyday. It was waaaay better than Holiday Inn.
The stuff is super nice, willing to help, friendly.
My kids used to borrow books every night to read from their children area. I never have seen a hotel with this kind of area (very helpful) but we enjoyed watching the movies that are playing continuously during the day.
Location is very convenient. Close to many restaurants and transportation.
Well, I just can say that it was worthy the money to have this long stay while we settle down in this new country.

I stayed here on Thursday - Saturday and had the most amazing time!
From check in to the end, everyone I had met here had been amazing!
The front desk checked me in so well and welcomed me so nicely, I was so grateful to be given such a lovely room near the top (thank you so much!!), when I accidently locked my room Maxwell from Front Office as well as Dennis had been so lovely and helped me! Dennis even remembered my voice when I called Front Office on my 2nd day to ask for housekeeping! Thanks Dennis!! :)
Thank you to housekeeping for tidying my room while I was out! And Jess from the Bar/ In Room Dining was so lovely & sweet and helped me pick out a wine that matched my cheese platter and ordered it for me and brought it right to my room! Thank you Jess!! The wine was lovely and the cheese platter tasted so good!! Check out was so quick and easy and once again staff was so lovely as well!
It was a great location so near to shops and nice dining options so it was quick to walk out to get a bite to eat or go shopping so it was so convenient when I wanted to go shopping!
Thank you so much again to everyone here for this amazing stay! Will definitely be back again soon! :)

Staff was friendly upon check in room cleanness 8 out of 10..... by my standards i wouldn't apooint this a 4.5 a lower tier score high 3s... this the hallways give me a hospital vibe.... room are clean standard. But not my favourite hotel if you are chasing affluence accommodation.. If shower knob is not turned of correctly there is a loud noise from the pipe which maybe needs to be addressed
K. U.
I recently stayed at Novotel Sydney Central, including a period in self isolation and the entire team there are just amazing. They couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating! I'll definitely be staying there again in the future and can highly recommend them.

Mixed experience for me... First time visitor.
Reception area was chaotic when checking in. No Accor ALL Priority desk on offer so waited quite a while to be served.
Staff seemed unsure and while trying their best to help, knowledge seemed lacking. (I asked if breakfast was included here as a Platinum member and it took three different staff members to find out the answer, which was yes).
Room was ok, a little tired, but at least it was very clean. Club Sandwich from room service was very good. Bed was quite hard, but that's a personal taste. Nice cheese plate and wine for being Platinum. Appreciated.
Came back late night and key didn't work. Took two trips down to reception and then a staff member coming up, then down, then back up again to get me into my room. Finally got in about 15 minutes after the first attempt.
Breakfast buffet was ok and replenished often. However, they seemed short staffed (probably due to the pandemic and lack of available staff) and tables too a long time to be cleaned. We ordered our coffees when we sat down but they hadn't turned up by the time we finished our breakfast.
Lifts very slow and clunky. Location is handy for George St and Haymarket. Parking next door at Wilson is $20 which is validated by reception.
So, we found it ok, but nothing outstanding.
T. L.
Staff were kind & one of the oldish and neat accommodations! Kitchenettes were all prepared & clean. A porter with a fashionable suit-Mart helped me to take couple photos which was very genuine helpful. Room was cosy and comfortable. My partner said that a bathroom was small & the water didnt feel that fresh/ clean but okay for quick bath. To sum up, my quarantine moment was amazing which located in 18floor so that it has a view & nice atmosphere. I rated 5 stars for people who served us there, 4.5 stars for a room. I think that’s fair enough, but I would love to stay longer if i have longer holiday. Thank you
D. D.
The staff are amazing and were so attentive and knowledgeable. They went above and beyond to accomodate us at a tricky time. We could not have been happier with the communication and advice offered. Food was amazing, room was clean and had what was needed for a comfy stay. Thank you in particular to Mart who went above and beyond the call of his role to ensure an ease free quarantine period for my partner. Thank you the entire team at Novotel Sydney Central. Hold your heads high, the standard of care you provide is greatly appreciated.
S. P.
I am currently quarantining for two weeks here at Novotel Sydney Central and I am extremely pleased with my experience.
Today is my birthday, and I am quarantining alone so it was pretty boring birthday until I received this amazing sweet treat from the hotel staff with a birthday card and balloons. Huge shoutout to Mart and also entire staff of Novotel for making me feel special on my birthday! Thank you so much guys!!
On top of this, I would like to thank the entire kitchen staff for serving me with variety of delicious vegetarian meals everyday.
Thank you again for your excellent service. Keep up the great work :)

I stayed at Novotel,Central for 2 weeks Quarantine & have a pleasant stayed at this hotel. I pleased with cleaned room, good food and fast room service & kitchen. Friendly hotel staffs & very supportive. Excellent hospitality for everyone, especially Mart & Maxim.
But I have some discomfort about hotel wifi, which is often lacked(slow), and better for food to be put on the chair infront door. Also, early delivery time for breakfast & lunch. Overall, Novotel Central is a good place to stay with friendly & supportive staffs.
Thank you. *Room 1416
H. N.
Spent 14 days on quarantine here, beautiful view, a lot of space for a working remotely, services in the very high level. The staff are welcoming and accommodating! Mart was wonderful as well as the other staff members. Highly recommended, Definitely will back here for holiday stay in Sydney 😊😊
L. P.
Stayed at Novotel Sydney Central for two weeks for the Quarantine and everything was a breeze. Experienced a bit of incident but Novotel proposed a solution-thoughtful-oriented outcome. Shout out to all the front-desk, house-keeping, and kitchen team, you are an absolute gem. I definitely would like to particularly acknowledged Maxim, Mart, and Frances R for the level of hospitality they presented during my time there. Exemplar. Novotel Sydney Central definitely lives up the respectable name of Novotel.
Thank you so much and all the best, Novotel Sydney Central!
H. I.
I want to thank the staff members of the hotel:
Mart for always being friendly, handling my belonging, and motivating me by his words on couple paper bags, Maxim who has solved my problem during my stays (border permit, printing, etc) and these guys were making my stay comfortable during the mandatory quarantine. I will do repetition to stay at Novotel Sydney Central. Merci Novotel 🙏

I was experiencing my first time in Quarantine at the Novotel Hotel in Sydney Australia. I arrived & started to receive my fabulous food on a very “german punctuality”. Also, I appreciated enormously & I just can thank the staff especially during my departure (check out). I called receptionist twice, (and If I am not wrong) Mr. Lawrencio & Mart for the effort to carry my messy luggages of making my nostalgia as beautiful as possible (despite of the circumstances). Thank you very much. The room was very dope comfortable especially the mattress was amazingly comfy. God bless you, Novotel Staff !! :)
T. L.
Checked in here to wait out the Sydney at the 18th August '21 COVID-19 Lockdown. Despite restrictions preventing them providing cleaning etc service the staff were being really helpful, I adore their highest CUSTOMER SERVICE STANDARD from Mr. MART & MAXIM were politely helpful during pre and checked out, flexible and understanding of our situation. Great room also. On the list to come back to.
R. J.
I am not easy to impress when it comes to restaurants and hotels and I do not often give a 5-star review, but this place deserves six ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
I just wanna say thank you for your hospitality during my 14 stays. I had such a lovely time & the food was yummy & the service? Impeccable (FYI, your cute staff “Mart” is very out of the box, motivated & chatty with his heart ❤️too).
In summary, a beautiful, quiet and small hotel, good food, & incredible service. I'm looking forward to making another booking here.
Ps: I sent a present 🎁 from my heart for NOVOTEL & it will arrive at the 14th September 2021. Hopefully, you will enjoy this joy 🤩.
Thanks Novotel for a great experience.

I love novotel Sydney central especially Mart is person who has Gone beyond and above and always cared to my dad during his stays. Thank you

Currently doing quarantine here. Staff are really helpful. Nurses are great. Food is nice (vegetarian diet option). Staff are flexible if you need anything delivered. Rooms are cosy enough. Huge towels and great water pressure. Comfy beds. WIFI is sufficient.
J.
I’m staying at Novotel Sydney Central as part of quarantine to enter Australia. I’m on day two. I want to give a shout out to the kitchen staff for the meals. Delicious, varied meals with lots of vegetables and protein in every meal. Even a little sweet treat with each meal. Well presented in takeaway boxes. As a former hospitality worker, I can appreciate the care that has gone into planning nutritious meals that tolerate the takeaway nature of the delivery system. Thank you.
M. T.
I’m currently quarantined there on level 14, hotel staff are really amazing, trying to accommodate to quarantined guests to the best of their abilities. Reception staff hats down for you guys/girls (Lorenzo & Kayla). Thank you your efforts are much appreciated.

It was such a wonderful experience to isolation in Novotel Sydney Central.
Comfortable room, delicious food,and immediate needs for supplies.
Thank you for all your assistance!
E. c. s.
My quarantine here has been great because the receptionist Maxime ( my spelling of his name might be wrong) has been very kind very understanding and very helpful when I have been panicking about my next trip to Perth and all other matters . It’s great to have someone helping you when you have anxiety and everything during this crisis . Having said that, everyone else here has been great too .
T.
Absolutely love staying at Novotel sydney central the staff are amazing; rooms immaculate and the stay is always cosy! The pool is beautiful with a little spa. All you can eat breakfast is our absolute favourite & the cookies on arrival 5/5

I am sorry but Noveotel is nowhere of 5 or 4 Star hotel quality! Overpriced and over rated .
As a very frequent traveller ; member of Marriott Bonvoy Elite Platinum , IHG Gold , Hilton Silver here are some Feedback to improve your hotel
1. Invest on lights , your rooms are dark ! Fore your designer and get someone who understands customer needs ! Why would you not put proper lighting in your rooms ?
2. Art ! zero art 🖼 in the rooms even cheap photos ! Your walls are empty
3. Design , plain rooms for the cost of 4-5 star … way away from modern look
I am not here based on my choice , part of quarantine! Years ago , I had similar opinion about Accor group hotels and I stoped staying there ! As you can see my status I am staying in other hotels and the difference is clear like back and white
Below are some photos for lighting ! Decide your self ! I feel like I am in a chap hotel , where they will not have lighting or design worries
Have a look in the roof and count the lights for yourself

From the moment we checked in it was outstanding. Friendly staff who engaged without kids and made them feel welcome. Room was spotlessly clean and nicely decorated. Also very roomy and comfortable. The gym was tucked away but had plenty of equipment, pool is great.
Breakfast was fresh and plenty of variety on offer.
It was a nice surprise to get overnight parking for $20.
Checkout was the quick and simple.
We will definitely be back.
M. P.
Stayed a weekend away during covid period. All staff were extremely accommodating and helpful during this quiet time for them. Very friendly towards our children and gifted them their own activity pack and teddy. Every time we entered the lobby after outings they were very warm and welcoming. Room was nice and clean no complaints.
S. R.
Spent 14 days in quarantine, they did the best they could. Can't complain. My room was quite small but adequate for one!
J. H.
The hotel service was excellent. The food was good, the room was nice. Staff, all friendly and kind. Keep up the the excelent service. Thank you so much.
J. F.
This hotel was quite nice and the rooms are good and roomy. The facilities provided include a pool and spa, a gym, a restaurant and a small kid zone. The pool is not very deep but is at a very nice temperature around 35c. The spa is a bit warmer than the pool and has the blasters which are pretty strong! The Gym is alright, you have treadmills, weights and some other equipment. The restaurant there is not the best, and I wouldn't recommend it. The service was good but the food didn't do it for me. The buffet breakfast wasn't too good either. Apart from the food I had a great experience. I would definitely consider going back!
T. M.
Stayed here for my hotel quarantine - 14 days / 336 hours / 20,160 minutes in room 1202. Comfortable beds, decent TV (with HDMI connectivity - BYO cord), good shower, cold air-conditioning. As you can imagine I became pretty familiar with every centimetre of the room, and it was fine. Only criticism was that the fridge didn't really cool things well, and the bathtub was shallow.
Staff were lovely to deal with - I had a couple of issues through the stay and Phil (I think) was really helpful. Coffee's made on site good - hot tip guys - if you used MilkLab almond milk it would make the world of difference).
But it was being run by the police, not the hotel, so with that in mind it was fine.
M. B.
Edit: I have added an extra star to my original review as the hotel management appreciated the issues raised and took some steps to resolve.
I didn't get the chance to stay here after my booking was cancelled by the hotel.
Whilst happy to take my booking (as an Accor gold member), I was notified that my booking was cancelled because the hotel is being used for quarantine purposes. This is not a new development, and as other reviews have mentioned this has been used in the capacity for a long period of time. They still took my booking.
Hint to the hotel management, especially when dealing with supposedly "preferred" customers. If you are going to inconvenience people with planned accommodation, especially in a time when loyalty is critical then you should offer alternatives. The pandemic will eventually be over and your customers will want to keep travelling.
"We are sorry for the inconvenience, as part of a large chain we can provide you with alternative accomodation at one of our sister hotels" would be a good way to handle an occurrence like this, sadly this didn't cross their minds.
Novotel is off my list for the foreseeable future.
S. S.
Excellent service and location. Staff at breakfast went out of their way to accommodate our group of 12, all vegetarian. They prepared an extra vego hot dish for us without us asking, each day! . Now that is true hospitality. Front desk and concierge staff also super helpful and friendly. Would stay again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend. Excellent location too as you can walk everywhere.
T. M.
This hotel was more a 3 star. The staff were really nice and catering and the presentation was good. My only nightmare was the carpet. It smelled like urine so I asked them to change my room and they did it - no questions asked, which I was very pleased with but the room they moved me to smelled a bit damp- but not so much urine-y. I just wish for their sake they rip out all the carpet and replace it- like really really overdue for a replacement. The breakfast was yum, generous, fast service, "yes maam - three bags full ma'am" so I was pleased about that.
T. G.
Went here to stay as a family with a baby.
Really love the friendly service!
We were offered water & some cookies/apples & Francis was given some baby toy during our check in, I mean Sofitel doesn’t even do that!
Got the cot organised from them as a complementary so it’s so convenient for us, Francis even got to take home the soft llama doll that was sitting in the cot; now it’s sitting in his own cot.
Room is descent size for us, facilities are more than enough.
Overall we really enjoyed our stay, bed is comfortable so we will definitely come back!

Currently in hotel quarantine at Notovel Sydney Central. The staff are friendly and efficient, the room is clean and comfortable and the food has been great. I will always appreciate Novotel for making this quarantine experience as smooth as possible during a stressful time. Thanks!
H. A.
Modern bright hotel rooms. So family friendly, they greeted the kids with an activity bag and soft toy. A lovely pool with noodles supplied. The lovely staff (Nicolette in particular) provided us with complimentary drinks vouchers for the bar and upgraded our room. Located short walk to restaurants and Activites at Darling Quarter and China Town.
R. C.
A very comfortable stay. We were satisfied with the cleanliness of all facilities. The room didn't have a lot of space after the bed, but it wasn't cramped either. Bathroom was well presented, providing the luxury of a bathtub. Service was excellent with fast check in, information given regarding available services, and complimentary drink on arrival. Overall, very happy with our experience.
C. P.
Absolute luxury. The pool and spa were 36c nice n hot like it should be. Received a fruit platter upon arrival. Great breakfast right in china town for heaps of food. Great service. Good to see they employ special staff
C. M.
Awesome place to stay, stayed with the family in one of the fun family rooms. The room came with a Tee Pee and games. The kids loved the Stuffed animals and the suprise bags. The staff at the Novotel were the best, very friendly and helpfull. The buffet breakfast was awesome to start the day.
D.
This is a great place to stay while in Sydney. Close to the railway station and China Town. Close to Darling habour and surrounded by great restaurants. All staff were really helpful and the dollar breakfast was great. The room was great and the bed very comfortable. When I visit Sydney again I will definitely stay here. Thanks to all the staff who made our visit so enjoyable.
R. Y.
Great place to stay close to Central Station and many good amenities. Friendly and helpful staff and great room ready at 12 noon. Pool on our 8th floor a real bonus and all round a relaxing visit with helpful staff and excellent room facilities. Good selection of food and drinks in nearby restaurants and pubs.
C.
Came here to celebrate my husbands birthday. They had a nice little gift for him placed in the room. He really appreciate it. Room was comfy and clean. The service we received was very welcoming. Definitely will reccomend it to family and friends. Thank you Novotel.
M. R.
Novotel was my Quarantine hotel, and as it's known quarantine is a daunting phase. You stay locked in the same room without any human contact, in this phase what made my experience remarkable was the warmth and care of the staff at Novotel.
Those 14 days ended up becoming most amazing days for me! I had many, many requests for food etc, but each time all my requests were addressed without any second question.
People make the experience better and many virtual hugs to each staff member at Novotel (while physical hugs is not a great idea during this time and age but lots of good vibes all your way)
Thanks for making my entry to Sydney remarkable ♥️ I hope I get a chance to visit when the post COVID world arrivers 😇
K. A.
Great location in the city, very close to chinatown. Many eateries surrounds the hotel, you won't have problem finding food. We had a standard room, it was very spacious, cleanliness is top notch. We also had a balcony, unfortunately being surrounded by chinatown, there was a noticeable smell of food cooking. I guess that's the price you pay for being in Chinatown. Staff were very nice, can't fault them. Would stay there again
M. J.
It has an outdoor rooftop pool and a 24 hour gym. The rooms are very nice and clean, and the room service is a good price for what you get (especially the junior meals). The employees are polite and extremely helpful. Also they sent someone up to our room to thank us for staying there and give us chocolate.
The only thing I can think of that wasn't so great was the view but that didn't matter to much as I was out of the hotel doing stuff anyway.
P.S. They also have people that open the front door for you, which made me feel very fancy and special.
M. A.
Good size and renovated rooms. Bathroom is a bit small and shower head low for tall people. Buffet breakfast a bit limited, yet, friendly staff and very clean hotel. It would be nice if there was better lighting in the rooms though. Gym and pool are nice. Very good location with parking. Location close to Chinatown and other amenities. Room service prompt with great food. WI-FI is fast.
E. R.
I rate this hotel 4 out of 5 for the following reasons;
I Came to the Novotel Sydney Central for a free importing seminar.
Service; I enjoyed lunch at the restaurant and I thoroughly enjoyed the food and the company. I had the grilled battered fish with crunchy fries and a green salad. The fries were excellent as was my fish and the side salad. The price for my dish was a little expensive I thought priced at $33 given that there are a lot of cafes outside the hotel where you can enjoy good food if not better . The presentation was good this service was good.
Cleanliness;Place was clean, including the facilities.
Parking;There is parking on site - 45 dollars for a full day thereabouts. Don't recommend bringing the car here.
Vibe; Friendly staff, helpful and very engaging.
Value for money;As per my service comment, compared to other hotels of similar rating, this Hotel's prices are normal, (quite expensive, given, that you are so close to Chinatown, where you can get a delicious meal for close to half the price), therefore the value is not very good, and is quite expensive to eat here - I would urge people to reconsider eating here.
Tip; Checkout Chinatown, less than 5 minutes away, or some of the cafe's and takeaways outside of the Hotel-better value for money.
Will not be visiting or dinning here sometime soon.
b. k.
the hotel is on a good location full of restaurant and super market even bakery. the lobby is well presented and the staff so sweet they help me so many time with my charger the rooms are quite big enough to be very comfortable. the breakfast is so good as well the only inconvenient is the elevator which take too too long and the gym is very very small but there is a by gym by the corner so it good
C. W.
My family and I stayed here for Christmas and it was amazing. The staff were incredibly nice especially the guy who brought us the new towels. The receptionists were very welcoming ,from when I made the booking, to when I left. The rooms were nice and tidy. The bathroom was clean. And the best part is the buffet. Breakfast was the highlight of my day! Quality food and coffee.
Z. D.
Easy parking. Visited for a cinferance seminar. The room was decent, everyone provided with a glass and a bottle per person. Coffee was standard but still good. Snacks provided by the facility was decent. Overall a good place to organise a conference with easy parking and public transport.
B. G.
We were very pleased to get a last minute booking during peak periods. Customer service was exceptional. Although Bradd didn’t serve us, he left quite an impression with his ‘extra’ help. Thanks
Only complaint is the pool / spa.
We love hotel spas and often select our hotels based on this. The spa is small, which is fine but very deep and pool temp. More like a plunge pool.
It certainly didn’t ruin our stay but would have gotten a 5 star rating if spa was up to standard.
n. k.
Hotel was well located at the center of the city. My son loved the heated swimming pool during our visit in winter. Checkin and checkout process was very quick. It would be better to have few additional toiletries like brush, toothpaste, comb.. and also a bathrobe, slippers would have earned a 5 star..
D. F. A. M.
Stayed here for 4 nights with my young family. The place is centrally located, clean, warm and its furniture quite new. The buffet breakfast is average. Room service takes place every day. I am giving it 5 stars for the above but mainly for its incredibly friendly customer service. Thanks for the experience! We'll visit you again.
O. F.
My husband and I stayed at this hotel for the weekend. The night before, I received a call from the Hotel confirming our accommodation and offering us an early check-in AND a late check-out!
Without exception, the staff were all happy and very helpful. The room was clean and very comfortable.
We enjoyed happy hour at the bar both evenings. I would stay at this Hotel again with no hesitation.
J. O.
We like the central location. Excellent service. The rooms are clean and spacious. Breakfast is quite good. The pool is so small you can't make a smller pool! Parking is just next door if you need it. Lots of dinning choices around being in Chinatown. Overall, an excellent place to stay Sydney central.
B. B.
Staff: Very helpful. They gave me great recommendations for food, etc.
We had to make a request a couple of times (since they forgot) but they were so cheerful it was hard to be annoyed at them.
Rooms: a few dings, scrapes, & worn carpet here and there, but nothing terrible.
Amenities: They really go out of their way to accommodate their guests with a cozy lobby, a kid-friendly area in the lobby, pool, restaurant, guest laundry, apples & cookies at the front desk and more. They really want to take care of their guests and it shows.
S. I.
This place has too many problems to even list.
The carpets are old and dreadful. They need to be ripped out. The communication between the front desk and the breakfast crew and between the front desk and cleaning crew is non-existent. They do try and fix mistakes but that so many mistakes are made - over and over - indicates something is wrong.
On the plus side, a great place for kids at the lobby. Location is also great.
T. F.
Great place to stay. Fantastic service. It's the little things like free apples and cookies at reception. Service I could not fault. Only small feedback is that the pool area needs a few things fixing. Good kids menu, great breakfast. I very well run hotel. TV and activities area for kids. Good location to explore Sydney.
Z. H.
Novotel Sydney Central was great locat situated just in the central of Sydney.
Very convenient for moving around
Stations and trams were very nearby. Markets were just across.
Harbour and opera house was just walkable distance.
All good restaurant nearby
Specially good halal restaurants
Loved the three day stay.
Rooms were quite big and spacious
Hotel was neat and clean.
Staff were very friendly.
Enjoyed the whole stay.
A. c.
Had a one night stay here and have nothing but good things to say. Hotel was modern and clean, with friendly and helpful staff. Our little ones enjoyed using the pool and there was a kids room on the ground floor with games, PlayStation and a movie. We benefited from a $1 breakfast deal, kids eat free, and the range of food and drink on offer can't be faulted - there was a juicer, pancake maker alongside the usual offerings.
E. R.
I don't always stay at a really nice hotel as I rarely spend much time indoors when travelling however I always try and stay at the Novotel when I'm in Sydney. The food is amazing, a bit expensive but that's to be expected. During my recent trip I got a free upgrade to a double queen room but I was travelling alone so it went unused. It was nice for the bigger room though with plenty of floor space. Service is always impeccable! I mean truly! I am happy to pay more for that alone! I love being greated with a smile and they are always so happy to help as well as keep bags longer etc.
I was also ecstatic to see that Novotel had employed a doorman with a disability. It is something that always makes me come back! Truly inspiring! 5 stars!!
P. K.
5 Stars for the hotel staff at Reception, 4 stars for the F&B staff. The main food was ok, the cheese platter was generous and worth the $18-. One young lady was attentive, they did have a Lage work crowed however others seemed a little untrained. Over all staff should be congratulated on their polite and positive welcoming vibe they bring to the hotel. I have an Executive room which is large but seems a little run down, no bath which in a suite let along rooms further down the chain should be there.
P. H.
We recently stayed at the Novotel Central. Being the 1st time my husband and I had ever stayed in a hotel we unmistakably went to the wrong Novotel and I am happy to report we are so glad. The reception and effort the team at Novotel Central made, to make our 17th Wedding Anniversary memorable, is quiet an understatement, the beautiful concierge team who, made us feel at ease, and explained that other have made the same mistake in Novotels, which was a reassuring feeling.
The room was surprisingly upgraded, and a few luxurious treats were left for us.
The room was HUGE, and clean and bright. We felt like the most important people there, and we're treated like someone special, which I sure they do to every guest.
This we be the 1st of many more stays with Novotel Central, and many more memories to make.
Thank you.
Ben and Petara Hynds.

The place is very good, I'm currently in quarantine here and the food is really good and the staff are very professional and well trained, they always call me to check on me and I really appreciate it, but smokers beware you can't smoke and they try there best to let you kick the habit, they supplied me with nicotine gum and patches for free, that's when I knew that they really cared about my health so yeah I love this place, and for the staff I just wanted to say thank you so much ✌✌✌✌.
A. M.
Great central location, only minutes from Central Station, China town and not too far a walk to Darling Harbour. Service was excellent, room was clean, beds were comfortable and the breakfast exceeded expectations, the fresh juice was a surprise. I'd highly recommend this hotel.
B. B.
Good quiet but central location to Ultimo area. Staff very helpful and friendly. Seem to always get a massive room. Beds are comfortable and rooms are nice. Seems to be always busy so elevators can be challenging if you are in a rush. Good room service and restaurant is quite good.
E. T.
Wi-Fi not works very good, type room number and last name still guest NOT found even though after check in. We call reception to fix it but doesn't work. Finally we ask front desk for help and the lady simply give the vip login for us. On second day, we can use room wifi but only limited to 3 devices as we hv 4 ppls. obviously that's not enough. even worse is after midnight the wifi can't login again while we still not check out. Slippers toothbrush kits are not provided. cups are limited to 2 only simply not matching our 4 ppls group. After all front desk services are excellent, food is good.
M.
We recently had 3 wonderful nights at the Novotel Sydney Central.
Super impressed with the friendly service here - from the minute we arrive - even the doorman was super friendly and even offered my children cookies!
Love the spacious family rooms and kids area in the foyer. The kids also couldn't get enough of the pool.
Whilst not in the heart of the city centre, we could still walk to all the attractions or catch the train or bus when we were too tired to walk.
Definitely would stay again.

Very good service, delightful experience especially Mart who has been very helpful and friendly

Rooms need a makeover. Had a room by the pool with a little courtyard balcony seems the cleaners forgot to clean up all the ciggarette butts from outside and wipe the tables down ready for the next guest. Very unlike the Novotel.. or is it? Liked the size of the room and the pool was great for an evening cool down swim. Good deals available online. Parking expensive. Friendly staff.
N. B.
Thank you Ben and your awesome team at Novotel Sydney Central! From check in to check out, I always feel well taken care of. My work takes me to many places and I tend to stay at Novotel wherever I go. I always have a great experience, however, with your team, I feel like I'm at my home away from home. Thank you!

I didn't stay in this older, but lovely heritage front
building, with courteous doorman, who helped me
down the steep stairs, I only attended a meeting.
I'll have to go back and have a better look at the
lovely front of the building and more of the inside.
I hope they will have a ramp by then, so I can avoid the stairs.
J. M.
Excellent location in the middle of Chinatown. Close to Central station, 10-15 min to town hall. Great food options around the hotel. The gym is good yet a bit small. Room very comfortable. Swimming pool at 8th floor.

I had the BEST time here!
I had been treated to a night at this wonderful hotel by an organisation i was entertaining just around the corner and i really want to share my wonderful experience here.
Firstly, the staff -
I am not much of a Sydney girl, so to be here alone, i felt incredibly safe, in the prime location and in wonderful hands. All the beautiful people running this hotel; from working on the desk, taking luggage to storage to the cleaners, were so friendly, approachable, helpful and always acknowledged me by simply saying hello or asking if they could help. The beautiful ladies at the desk remembered my name when it was time for me to order a Taxi which was a lovely surprise! The gentleman who took my luggage into storage, was very considerate on how to handle my luggage and recognised it was fragile and moved it to a safer location on the trolly with no questions! One lovely gentleman also could see I was waiting around for an appointment in the lobby and he came over to check in and offer that i am more than welcome to stay in the building until i had to leave, and also offered me a lovely fresh apple from the counter while i do so! So thank you beautiful people for keeping a big smile on my face. You're wonderful.
Second, the rooms.
They were impeccably clean and well presented. I was of course very excited to be here and to some how have been booked a king room with two massive beds was just a huge bonus (I may have danced on them in excitement, sorry). I felt like a super star! I had plenty of snacks if i needed them, I had a big TV, a bath, a wardrobe, and huge windows to let all the light in. It was perfect!
Thirdly, just the energy of the hotel.
Everyone looked satisfied, they were being looked after and the hotel had the facilities to make everyone happy!
Thank you Novotel Central. You made me very happy & I will absolutely be back!
So if you are looking for somewhere to stay, book here & you will not be disappointed!
R. A.
Very pleasant and accommodating. In the heart of Chinatown if that's your thing. We arrived early from a long international flight and an early check in was provided. The breakfast buffet is excellent and an excellent value for $12, don't miss it.
G. R.
Lovely, friendly and very helpful staff!! We stayed there with our two boys 3 and 6 and everyone went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. Our room was need and tidy and exactly what we expected. We will definitely stay here again.
C. &. D.
Excellent central location, clean, well appointed rooms, gym and pool facilities. Ample covered parking, Buffet breakfast was yummy. Friendly, helpful staff, even opening the door for us as we came and left. 5 min walk to Darling Harbour or central train station, 10 min to CBD. Would definitely stay again.
I. K.
The hotel located nicely near Central Station and very close to public transport, Hay Market, UTS and Chinatown. Apart from the location it has a large car park nearby. The settings is standard but comfortable. I found the food bland and lacks taste. Conference rooms are decent in size but not well designed.
J. H.
Nice convenient hotel near Darling Harbour. Resturaunt is small but I think that the food is quite good. Waiting staff can sometimes be a bit confused but the management do their best to keep things on track. Prices are pretty good. Staff are friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean and in general are ok. Bathrooms are ok but small. They are the only real downside to staying there. Walking distance to Darling Harbour (15 mins) and Sydney Opera House (30 mins).
C. M.
Lovely clean rooms and beautiful friendly staff. Partner and I had such a nice stay, the restaurant down stairs was amazing! A much needed satisfying burger!
D.
Good overall, at least in terms of value for money. Did come across a few German cockroaches. One staff displayed anger after being asked for ice, though all other staff were wonderful. The breakfast menu needs a change between mornings.
M. H. (.
Outstanding Hotel!
Awesome stay, well looked after again by the amazing Customer Service team.
Perfect location with cheap parking, rooms clean & comfortable, beautiful dinner and breakfast, will be back again!
Highly recommended.

Had a date night with my beautiful wife on the weekend, got some laughs watching some comedy at the Factory Theatre and then had some drinks with a few friends at Gasoline Pony in Marrickville. Stayed the night at Novotel Sydney Central, have always heard good things about this place from my clients, but hadn't stayed over for a while. The newly refurbished rooms were very comfortable and well fitted out, bathrooms were elegant and the bed was just right. Buffet breakfast is one of my favorite things and I was not disappointed, good coffee and a sweet pastry always leaves me feeling good. All the staff we met were friendly and helpful. A good experience, liked it and would happily return.
J. B.
I stayed a few nights. Room was as expected; clean, tv, kettle etc. The staff however were on a whole nother level. Bar, door and front desk staff were very welcoming, great conversation and very genuine. I enjoyed the vibe here.
L. M.
Attended the Novotel for a day course in their basement. The hotel was nice, the staff were amicable. The busboys were on point are refilling the mints / water. The lunch menu looked bland and unappetizing, and there was a horrid sewerage stench near the conference rooms. Overall though it was a pleasant experience and I would recommend.
E. T.
stayed there last November on my birthday. The location just so good to be in the center of the city. Breakfast was great. Service was amazing. friendly staffs and also they gave me a champagne as well on my birthday! I would definitely come back.
j.
This is the first time we stayed at this novotel in this part of Sydney, we have tried many different hotels through out Sydney over the past couple of years and I can honestly say this is definitely one of the best experiences we have had, the service was exceptional, great service and the staff members go above and beyond to make sure the guests are well looked after. This hotel
Will now become a regular for us from now on.

A. C.
Great location close to heart of Sydney. Easy walk to Darling Harbour, Cockle Bay, Chinatown, and central Sydney.
Had baby barrimundi for tea, was delicious and just a good size, not left hungry or feeling too full.
Breakfast was buffet style was nice, just no mushrooms😪
S. K.
Reasonable price & service hotel. Good location, easy parking, friendly staffs. Highly recommend city visitors. Close to darling harbour, Haymarket all around Sydney city and close to many public transports. Especially Woolworths supermarket nearby and lots of restaurants.
J. D.
Good experience
The Staffs were very professional in their work
Foods great
Well organised
I recommend that you'll never regret staying at Novotel hotel Sydney
Awesome job Novotel
Thank you and vinaka

The Novotel Sydney Central is generally in an excellent location, at the top end of the city, a stones throw from Chinatown and Darling Harbour. The rooms were clean and comfortable, however they are are poorly designed. I was staying in an executive room (17th Floor). Strangely, there is no real room light. There are reading lights above the bed, but these are extremely bright and impossible to use for the intended purpose. The curtain did not fully cover the window, and allowed light to stream into the room directly onto your face in the morning, no matter the positioning. Otherwise staff were friendly, and attentive. Room contained tea and coffee facilities, including a Nespresso machine, which was a nice touch.
P. V.
Had to get a last minute room after being stuffed around by an Air BNB. The hotel staff were so friendly and made our night by organising a couple surprise drinks for us. Great service, will definitely be back again!
C. J.
Good location close to central, china town for eats and not too far from darling harbour. Very children friendly. Breaky in the morning was included and quite good with the kids loving the jam donuts. The rooms were good size with 2 queen beds great as the kids were included in the price. $5 happy hour drinks 5-7pm.
C. G.
Very nice hotel. It has class and allure. The comfort of the bed is a 7/10. Not the best but not bad either. I’d prefer some more comfortable pillows. The hotel has anything that you would expect from Novotel.
K. A.
Only went for lunch during work. Nice little balcony outside. Some nice cheap meals. I had tandoori chicken peices for just $5 and they were delicious. Theres a pool on the rooftop. Its across the road from work for me which is why I havent stayed overnight.
G. L.
Excellent location and attentive service by the hotel staff. Short walk to China town and Paddy's market. Rooms are spacious and there is convenient parking for guests at the attached car park. The room I was in though didn't have much of a view.
D. P.
We recently stayed at your hotel and must compliment your staff, from the moment we walked up the steps to the moment we checked out, everyone made us feel special, we also had dinner in the restaurant which we enjoyed. The location being close to Central Station and Darling Harbour makes it a ideal hotel.
U. J. B.
Great hotel at the central location of sydney. Good staffs, and they have fast food menu offered at resonable prices. Else many options to eat around outside as well.
T. H. F.
Used to be the old citigate hotel but much better now.
Inside is lovely and very comfortable and the rooms are better than say Brighton Novotel which is a lot smaller
For those who love Chinatown here is the best place to stay.
We also ate here in the night dining room for a conference and the food was very good. The baked goat cheese is delicious
Overall a great hotel with lovely staff and excellent rooms and location.
5 mins to central.
M. M.
Great place to stay. Staff all very welcoming and helpful. Rooms clean and quiet . Handy to all facilities trains etc. Food delicious especially the lamb shoulder. Liam the best. Thank you for all you did, booking tickets, fixing my phone often and telling us what to do and where to go. Fabulous place to stay
J. C.
I was in the Executive Floor, which is at the top. The room was quiet, excepting the man next door with the snores that made the entire room reverberate. Comfortable, large room with decently large telly and a coffee machine. This hotel has no personality, but is close to Central station and Chinatown, so benefits from that. There's a Woolworths supermarket close by for snacks. Wifi was free and decently fast.
A. A.
Excellent service and very clean. They included breakfast for no extra charge. The hotel is further away from the cbd than some others so not too hectic but still easy to walk or get the free bus on George St. Close to China Town so plenty of restaurants nearby.
E. S.
The rooms are clean and spacious. The location is a short walk from Central station and close to Chinatown without it being too close. Because of the location, you'll find a lot of affordable food nearby as well as a supermarket around the corner. The car park for guests is confusing. I wasn't able to find anyone at the car park to answer any questions. We kind of had to figure out where the guest parking was ourselves. I noticed a lot of tour buses and tour groups come by this hotel.
M. H. B.
An 8-minute walk from the Powerhouse Museum, this upscale hotel is 2 km from Darling Harbor and 10 km from Sydney Opera House.
Airy, modern rooms with colourful decor feature Wi-Fi (fee), flat-screen TVs and desks, as well as minifridges and tea and coffeemaking facilities; many have balconies, and executive rooms offer free Wi-Fi and Nespresso machines. Suites add separate living and dining areas. Room service is available.
A refined restaurant with patio seating serves international fare. There's also a bar. Amenities include a heated rooftop pool, a gym and a terrace with garden views, plus a business centre.
J. K.
Omg 😲 this is best hotel ever it’s the best hotel ever omg wow the bed feels comfortable and they even have a swimming pool at the hotel. So cool that we can even woah even do gym work at the hotel and get breakfast too at the novotel. Wow this hotel is so awesome that you gonna love it! Omg so comfortable the bed and you can even do shopping while you walk around got exercise awesome love it! 😍
m. w.
I was in the covid-19 two-weeks mandatory isolation as l returning resident of New South Wales the government the police and army excellent very well organised the staff at the hotel the only contact I had with them was through phone conversations and they were excellent the food was restaurant quality and just a great system of the nurses ringing every day to check how you were feeling excellent system well done to New South Wales task force regards Mark Wilden
M. G. J.
Spacious room, no plastic shower, but funny hangers a minus. Well appointed gym, but unfortunately no rowing machine. Great breakfast, love the automatic pancake machine
J. C.
Great conference venue!!
The rooms are tastefully furnished, the facilities complete and the parking is reasonable!!
The instant nespresso like coffee machines produce really good coffee by instant like standards, and the food at both the restaurant and the quick snacks were more than tasty..the tiramisu was particularly yummy!!
Only blemish is the tech setup which is stuck in the 80s. No wi-fi except via a 3G dongle and the screens and projectors are afterthoughts!!
But as a reasonable inner city location close to transport,parking and accommodation it gets plenty of ticks!!
s. a.
Located at China Town. Very friendly staff. Large and Spacious rooms. Buffet breakfast is good as well. Friendly staff. Downside is you are surrounded by tall buildings and have offices and hostels right opposite your window. Rooms with the balcony are good.
J. H.
Nice enough room, though it did need some work: there was a noticeable body groove in the bed, and some of the bathroom fixtures were loose. But very friendly staff, very clean facilities, and everything worked well with very little fuss.
J. v. M.
I only popped in for a lobby meeting and haven't stayed overnight, but I was greeted by the nicest door staff, and as a result instantly fell in love with the place. WeIl done Novotel for your commitment to inclusion and de-stigmatisation. Made my day! 😊
T. W.
Stayed here Feb 20-24 Room 1713 visiting from UK.
PROS - hotel is a short walk from Central Station. Most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. Good buffet breakfast selection.
CONS - bathroom had no towel rails. Noise from the fridge kept me awake so I switched it off. Ice melted & I woke up to a puddle on the floor. Mopped it up with a towel. Nowhere to hang the wet towel because of the aforementioned lack of towel rails.
J. B.
Excellent hotel, really well located with an undercover walkway direct from Central Station and only 3 minute walk to darling Harbour or George St. Staff are friendly and professional. Stayed here for my last 5 trips to Sydney, wouldn't stay anywhere else!
T. H.
After having our flight cancelled and having to try and "sleep" in the airport, we spoke to Nicolette and not only did she give us early check in so the kids could rest, but a late checkout so they could relax before having to see the airport. She was so lovely, it brought tears of relief. Thank you Novotel.
T. L.
Novotel is a great place to stay. The staff are friendly and the service is efficient. The place is convenient for a more casual visit to Sydney and is easy to find and remember. The room quality is quite good despite quite the few years behind the hotel. Easily one of the best hotels in Sydney.
J. M.
Good location, near central station, Haymarket and Darling Harbour. Unfortunately, very few non-Asian food options (it is in China town) if you don't feel like walking to Darling Harbour. Rooms were clean and service good. The swimming pool on the upper floors was a good thing during warm days.
G. C.
Clean, large rooms, good pillows, comfortable mattress and simple while modern decor. Most of all central, very friendly and helpful staff. Would definitely recommend!
P. L.
Location was great, so close to everything. Rooms were very clean. Service was fantastic, nothing was any trouble, friendly staff and we had a surprise upgrade. Will definitely be back. Thank you
R. D.
My wife and I stayed for her birthday the room was clean and excellent the food you can’t fault but it’s the boutique style hospitality that brings us back it’s our 5 th stay thank you to Felisia and Phillip and all the staff, it’s home away from home for us
C. S.
Really liked the little extra touches.
There's a TV set up with a kids corner, playing movies.
When there wasn't a suitable vegetarian option on the menu, the chef made something special, and it was delicious!
A. C.
Very nice staff, always friendly and helpful.
Rooms are large with a good layout.
Parking seemed expensive but good to have it onsite.
Great location with shops everywhere around it.
M. K.
When we'd go to watch something at the Sydney Entertainment Centre, we'd always book at the Novotel Rockford. At the end of our stay, I'd always swear NOT to book at the Rockford because the hotel is just bad (bad staff, bad breakfast, rooms too small, etc).
I've now found a new place to stay: Novotel Sydney Central.
From check-in to check-out (including post check-out), staff are consistently nice, friendly and always with a smile. The breakfast food buffet maybe have the same stuff you'll see all around Australia but they have a pancake maker. You can opt to have made-to-order eggs and coffee.
Rooms are big. Bed is nice and firm. Pillows are good. WiFi is free to guest only (Rockford doesn't even give you free WiFi) and limits to up to 4 wireless clients per account. The check-in staff was more than willing to give us additional wireless login account (even though we didn't ask for it).
Check-in staff even gave us free complimentary drinks vouchers ... for no reason at all! FRIENDLY and NICE! G'bye Novotel Rockford!
The downside is the size of the elevators (how you can fit "16" people in a tiny lift, I have no idea) but I'm not going to take away a rating (you're not spending time in the lift).
J. K.
Was here on a one day trip, lovely breakfast, excellent fresh juice. Hotel is about a 40 min walk from the Sydney Opera House, its located in Chinatown, so decent oriental food in the neighbourhood. St George's and Pitt St is right next door, good for shopping excursions. Rooms are ok, basic with pastel colours.
K. B.
Went to Sydney for the weekend with the family. The guys on the concierge desk were so helpful (particularly Aaron). They organised a maxi taxi with a baby seat in it for my 1 year old (something we don't get in Melbourne taxis!). We're helpful with directions and all round accommodating of a family with two young kids. Thank you!
K. W.
Novotel Haymarket was a perfect position for what we wanted to do. Close to Central Station when you come fro. The Airport. 5 minute walk to Darling Harbour and Madam Tussauds. Very close to Paddy's Market, China Town and Capitol Theater, Powerhouse Museum. Great breakfast and children under 12 have free breakfast.
I. S.
Conference rooms were well-maintained throughout the conference. Food was good, but a better range of gluten-free options would have been appreciated (I had made a specific prior request).
L. B.
A good variety of conference spaces for meetings, training, etc. Very convenient location, close to Central and with an adjacent carpark (reasonable early bird parking there, too). Conference catering tasty but not too exotic
S. G.
Seems half refurbished. Some nice modern touches in the room then there's what seem like relics from the 90s as well. Not a lot of vibe to the place. Seems a little soulless. However the rooms are clean and in reasonable condition. The bathroom has been a little bit updated with a cool heated mirror. One of the more reasonably priced options in Sydney. Not the most convenient location to the rest of the CBD though.
N. K. H. H.
Great satff and decent room price. Being next to a car park also allows patrons to make use of the hotel as a function space. And it is right in the gear of the city centre and just. 10 min walk to central station.
C. W.
Stayed 2 nights so I could go to TEDx Sydney, and the location was very central, although Google Maps kept confusing me by calling it Citigate. The reception staff were lovely and made every effort, including arranging a hot chocolate option in lieu of coffee for the second night. They have a pillow menu, but the pillow I requested wasn't available. No problem there, except housekeeping didn't call me til after 9 to let me know, and with an early start planned I could've done without being woken (I had figured they'd forgotten). Two other useful things to know: there's a taxi rank right outside the door, if you need it, and being in the heart of a student district there are plenty of budget eating options within very close walking distance.
K. R.
Novotel Sydney Central is ideally located close to transport including trains,buses and taxis. The hotel has comfortable rooms and a very good restaurant that is great for breakfast. I can easily recommend this hotel.
N. B. (.
Comfortable rooms and reasonable price. Large lounge area. Corridors with rooms seem rather unwelcoming. Could use better lighting and color. Friendly staff. Good food.
G. T.
Came for dinner and drinks. Great $5 wines in happy hour (until 6.30pm) and although menus isn't extensive, the food was done really well. Plus we got a complementary bowl of chips while waiting for our mains.
A. T.
The rooms are nice and clean with very modern facilities. The staff are friendly and helpful. The hotel is conveniently situated 5 mins from Central station and a multitude of food and entertainment venues
A. L.
We organised our annual staff Xmas party there and the food was great. The service was excellent. Very tentative staffs and everyone had a good time.
W. B.
Generally an excellant place to stay, food is very good, staff are friendly and helpful, but an unwashed cup left by cleaning staff in the bathroom was a bit of a turnoff.

First away break since COVID-19 lock down and surpassed expectations. Staff were amazing and dining experience exceeded our expectations.
S. S.
Good location. Restaurant meals were okay. Nice size rooms. Spotted a number of cockroaches in passageways and room which was disgusting.
S. F. C.
I'm an accor member, and with the membership you receive 50% off dinning, however when I went there with a colleague of mine there was no menu for breakfast, so the manager at the time read it out to us, ordered poached eggs, the breakfast was great, however when the bill came, we didn't receive the discount, as apparently that was the bar menu and not the alacarte menu, which my first question was do you guys do alacarte and she said yes, and which bar menu in the world actually serves poached eggs? Sounds like deception to me, when I rang accor and explained my concern, the lady on the phone could not assist me, I asked to speak to a supervisor, the supervisor was busy, I never received a return call back, for all those businesses out there that just focus on sales, think again, that's the easy part, accor plus, retaining your members is harder, if I was accor I would have a call centre focusing on issues at hand to make the system better not for worse. Deceiving your clients is not a good way In doing business.
H. M.
The room was below ground level and hot and stuffy. The morning tea and lunch were good with fresh food available. I bought a coffee which was lukewarm. Staff were great.
A. P.
Good location, close to shopping and great places to eat a China Town. Friendly staff but was a bit disappointed with the breakfast. I'd stay there again but go out for breakfast at one of the many near by cafes.
P. C.
Well located with a handy carpark. Staff were friendly and made us feel welcome. Rooms are what you'd expect for a 4 star, although spacious
H. R.
This hotel is very centrally located it does have reasonably nice medium size rooms I would not call them large then again this is a renovated hotel so the room that I had may have been just a medium one there is maybe some larger I don’t know my experience was average size medium room and breakfast was on the OK side I would say there is better in town but the main things going for this hotel is it’s very centrally located especially if you have And event anywhere down there darling harbor it’s really easy to get to
B. G.
Fantastic service, clean spacious rooms with security features, gym, spa and heated pool access, delicious breakfast and dinner options, smiling friendly staff. Definitely recommended.
S. K. C.
Near the city and public transportation. Parking is easily accessible. Services was great. Staffs were professional. So I have rated 5 star. It was a good time in Novotel.
J. F.
Front Desk employer Lorenzo was very nice and caring. He answered all my queries maybe a pay rise soon or higher position in the hotel
J. C.
Nice hotel with spacious modern rooms that are reasonably priced. The hotel is clean and the staff are friendly. It is also situated 5 mins walk from Central station so it is in the middle of a lot of food, drink and entertainment venues
r. i.
Nice room, clean and perfect. Service from housekeeping was also top class. The breakfast was as usual, fulfulling and as expected. Always a fan of Novotel.
S. C.
Building is a bit tired, rooms are also dated although pleasant enough to stay on. Staff are polite and attentive and parking is located directly under the building so really convenient.
J. S.
All the staff are very friendly and the rooms were in great condition. Personally I thought the more expensive room that we stayed in would have a few more luxuries to it, but overall a very nice place to stay.
A. I.
I stayed here for two days. Ample public parking is next door for the guests.
The hotel was well appointed and maintained, and it's in a decent location, central to all Haymarket.
I would definitely come here again.
S. B.
Located close to China Town and Paddys Market. Excellent service and clean modern spacious rooms. A good breakfast selection of cooked and cold with good coffee.
M. D.
The functions room was well presented and the lunch was a hot buffet which was quite good. The snacks at morning and afternoon break were fine if a little plain.
M. H.
Nice hotel. Bit dated but comfortable and a great location with access china town and darling harbour just a short walk away
S. D.
Novotel Sydney Central is located in the suburb of Hamburger, in the city of Sydney. The entrance, either by foot or by car is on the cup-de-sac of Thomas Street. The room looked great, featuring a high bed, soft mattress floor, a balcony and the usual things available in hotel room of this calibre. The Field House Restaurant and Bar is a great place for dinner or for just for some casual drinks.
C. B.
essential but confortable rooms quiet staying at 10 min walking from downtown. 2 restaurants rooms service gym sauna and Riverview jacuzzi......friendly and professional front desk personnel..what else?!?! Thanks..

A very special place for my family and myself.having been there the last 2 vacations.excellent staff.They always go above expectations.excellent restaurant. great location to Central train station.
A. P.
Standard rooms and friendly staff but a number of items on the breakfast buffet were cold (such as the bacon, eggs and croissants) each morning when I went down to eat there. Some of the windows were quite dirty too - hard to look through (which tends to defeat the purpose of a window).
G. L.
Spacious room, clean plenty of light and great views. Friendly staff. A great central location near transport and the CBD if you want to walk.

I like the area of this hotel. It’s surrounded by restaurants. 5 mins to paddy and China Town. 10 mins walk to Thai town. Easy to get public transportation. Woolworth is just the corner away.

Meeting rooms, food and overnight stay were all great. Excellent customer service for all staff I encountered. Would highly recommend.

Excellent customer service, Katalya outstanding! Sent Tim Tams and a bottle of wine to the room. Peter assisted me in ordering in a pizza-very helpful!

I visit Novatel Sydney nearly every time I go to the CBD. There parking prices are cheap and affordable. Facilities are always clean and the service is the best you'll find in Sydney. Would recommend to anyone deciding to stay in the CBD.

The hotel is basicrlky in china town , amenities and luxury items and facilities are very decent and modest , you will be well taken care off once you check into the hotel that provides airport shuttle , you will also have the opportunity to dine and try the cuisine they provide if not you will come to notice that the area is quit full of restorant and bars that are less then 200m away from the hotel

I personally think this is the best place for parking in Sydney, reasonable price and flat rate after 5pm, it’s walking distance to Chinatown and 15mins to Pitt Street, as a non-NSW driver in Sydney, where it could barely find a parking on the street, this is the place.
J. C.
Highlights: Breakfast
Faults: Shower in the bath which felt like horrible plastic that I could break if I was too heavy. The support staff would tell me one thing and the concierge would tell me another. Which resulted in their team giving me attitude when checking out.
Not the same experience as I had when I was younger.
C. C.
Food was nice. Service affable but at times distant. Our server failed to read the specials to us, so we missed out on some nice dishes.
