Reviews for Novotel Sydney Olympic Park
Riley Lucas
Stayed here at the Novotel as had an event at Olympic park. The service and check in process was absolutely faultless and non fuss (first time since forever I actually got a room upgrade as a Platinum Accor), welcome amenities were already there, room was perfectly clean, well kept and reception and other staff were very nice to speak with and accommodating. Breakfast options were simple, however was still adequate enough to suit even the toughest critics. Hotel was across the road from Olympic park station which was super convenient. Thank you for a very pleasant stay Novotel OP. Will definitely be back. Impeccable service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What a wonderful check in tonight. Greeted with a friendly smile and wave from night manager Robert. Couldn't do enough to ensure a comfortable stay. Great hotel and all the better when people like Robert greet you after a huge day on the road. Thanks for your excellent service Robert. Also thankyou for a lovely room too. Rod

I've been at Novotel Olympic Park because I had tickets for a concert at Qudos. Definitely good place to stay at if you don't want to deal with traffic and trains after your show. Bit dissatisfied with the room allocated. It was a little dirty and not well vacuumed. Saw housekeepers talking in the phone through their earbuds and found that disrespectful, specially knowing that the room wasn't very good. On the other hand, staff were very calm, helpful and happy people. Reception team was great from the moment I arrived. The food was ok and loved the coffee. Regarding the public areas of the hotel I found them very clean and pleasant; I saw the girl from the morning Paula cleaning everything as fast as possible and maintaining the bathrooms. She was very gentle to us as well. Overall I loved my experience. Can't wait to come back but to a different room!

From the moment we checked in to the time we left, all the staff were so warm, welcoming and friendly, going above and beyond to make sure our young family was looked after and had everything we needed. The hotel itself was in a great location, and the room and amenities are all clean and well maintained. They even had a kids room, a little plush toy on check-in and free ice-block machine, little touches like that make you feel welcome and thought-of when travelling with small children.

Stayed with my young family for a night while going to see the Swifts netball game. Great welcome, with small touches to welcome the kids including a free toy and zooper doopers. Room was comfortable and great location for all the venues. I will come back but not pay for the breakfast next time as it wasn’t the hottest and service wasn’t the best (not offered coffee).
