We had a beautiful view of the Chinese Friendship Gardens from our room and also, as it turns out, the NYE fireworks at Darling Harbour. The staff were very friendly and attentive and the location was ideal in getting to pretty much anywhere in the CBD by either walking or catching either of the tram lines (L1 or L3) which were both a 5 minute stroll away. We are planning our next trip to Sydney in the not too distant future and it will include another stay at the Novotel Darling Square.

Liked being in the business district...felt safe. Also, it was within walking distance of several light rail stops which was convenient. Also, there is a Starbucks directly across from this hotel which was a bonus to me!

We stayed a few nights in the school holidays and it was so well located for kids and parents alike. There are interesting price varied eating options, it's a fun city atmosphere in a safe family friendly area. So close to everything you need. The Novotel itself was wonderful. great rooms, great staff and having your bed made up and reset was superb - why we love hotel treatment.
