My husband and I stayed at Novotel Sydney Olympic Park for 1 night when going to the Lady Gaga concert. The room itself was comfortable but there was some general wear and tear that needed attention. Nothing major. We utalised our welcome drink at the bar and also took advantage of the buffet breakfast. The F&B staff were polite and attentive and the buffet had a good selection of breakfast options. We also used the onsite carpark. Very easy to get a parking space and very reasonable in price. The only downside to our stay was the check-in process. As high level Platinum Members (now Diamond) we took advantage of the Gold/Platinum/Diamond check-in desk located to the side of the lobby. The young lady was lovely however must have been newer as she couldn’t answer simple questions eg confirming our breakfast was inc complimentary due to our loyalty level. Even if she was just covering someone’s break, the managers should be putting someone on this desk who knows the product/hotel inside out and can provide the loyalty guests with perfect service. Overall we would stay at this Novotel again.

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.

From start to finish, it was a short stay, but we will defiantly be back again. I will bring the entire family with me this time. Will be great once your kitchen and bar is up and running again. The front counter staff was amazing. I can't remember his name, but he was bloody excellent, I have signed up to Accor so hopefully I can get some great deals when we return to Sydney. Thanks again

Stayed here a few times. Staff are professional and friendly. Good buffet breakfast spread. Nice room if you get the suite as it is huge! Comes with microwave and also a balcony to enjoy the view if it’s on the high floor.

Great service from, very friendly. The wife witnessed one reception staff member handle a screaming Karen for 20 minutes and kept her cool the entire time. She should get a raise. Buffet breakfast was good quality, not massive but enough of everything. Got upgraded to early check in for free, as we were members. Room was clean and modern. Cracking views from level 10. Will come back again for sure.
