Although we had a nice stay, room was ok bit expensive when compared to other hotels in the area. Pool area looked tired, I could see renovation is in progress, but customers should be notified. Ladies toilet out of action, with a sign saying use disabled, but that was locked, so had to walk around to the Spa facilities, also no bar staff at Pool, yet the pool area was full. Cafe in Reception cakes were dry and my husband ordered a meat and cheese roll which was dry and hard to eat. Great location though, convenient for light rail and ICC.

Wonderful stay
The location is excellent, right on the waterfront in Darling Harbour and with a light rail stop almost outside the door to get you into Haymarket (and from there up into the CBD). Access to The Star and the Lyric Theatre is via a short walk (5–10 min) or the light rail. Walking is a little confusing at the moment due to construction next door, but you can go via the Novotel car park (cross over at the light rail stop, go up to level 4 of the car park, then walk out onto Murray St). The soundproofing in the rooms seemed excellent. We didn't get too much noise from outside and didn't hear other rooms at all. The room was comfortable, modern, and clean. The only issues we had were 1) the bathroom lighting is pretty poor for shaving and makeup (then again, most hotel bathroom lighting is), and 2) the new electronic (phone app) room keys didn't work at first. They eventually did work, using a completely different app (odd), though they were pretty slow to activate. Hopefully, they'll fix the teething issues soon because it is very convenient to be able to access the room using my phone and not a physical key.

Great stay, horrible sleep.
The check in experience was average- didn't tell us what time to check out, where to park, how to get our car etc. The valet parking staff were very friendly. The room was large and very nice. The bed was horrible to sleep on- the mattress was very poor. You do get to order a pillow of your choice from a menu which is a great service. The pool has excellent views.

The room they say sleeps 3 with harbour views is very small. Cannot climatise in the room. Air con was either too cold on 19 degrees and very warm on 21 - 22 degrees. Valet parking was way too rich at $89 per night, to park your car across the road in a normal car parking station.Finished room service was not collect until the next afternoon. Very disappointed. Expected much more
