Reviews for Sydney Central Hotel
Michelle Gale
Great stay on many levels. Great customer service, very clean, buffet breakfasts were wonderful and especially the fresh juice maker with fruit and veg right there to use machine-brilliant! Room service great and kids size meals a good size. Lifts are quick and 3 to use when hotel was crowded so you are not waiting long. Pool a great temperature being heater but much smaller than the photos depict on website. Gym well facilitated . Great value for money too . Nice and close to tram line and so easy to get to Circular Quay and connect to trains and all places . Honestly can't really fault.

We stayed there for a night to celebrate my birthday. The hotel was very generous with compliments to make my birthday extra special. Indeed, they helped me enjoy my birthday. As per the location, the hotel is just 7-10 minutes walk Central Station. There are several restaurants, cafes and supermarkets nearby. It is short walk from Darling Square and Paddy's Market. In short, very accessible. The room amenities were good enough for the price we paid for. The only concern was the lift that taking too long to arrive when it was peak hours (like check in/out).The buffet breakfast was a wide spread, even my kids enjoyed it. It's just sad they do not re-heat outside food (for my fussy-eater son) But all in all, we had a wonderful stay. We achieved the goal of relaxing weekend. We will definitely stay here again in the future.

After a disappointing experience at another hotel that left us somewhat stranded, Novotel was absolutely amazing. A quick 5 minute call was all it took to have a room reserved for us, with Rachel being exceptionally helpful and friendly over the phone. She happily answered all of my questions and was very knowledgeable, and was even nice enough to find a cheaper rate after already quoting me a price. The reception staff were amazing and had us parked and checked in in no time. Regina was super friendly and an absolute delight to interact with. The hotel is very well presented and our room was spotless with everything cleaned perfectly. The pump soaps and lotions in the bathroom are a nice touch compared to other single use soaps at most hotels. We were also pleasantly surprised by a NYE gift of champagne and a box of snacks waiting for us in the room after watching the midnight fireworks, a very nice gesture that made our stay even more memorable. I cannot thank the Novotel Sydney Central staff enough for accommodating our NYE holiday with such short notice and for being so friendly throughout the entire process. I would most definitely stay here again next time I'm in Sydney.

Clean room and bathroom. Comfy beds. Please put anti slip mat before shower as it can get quite slippery. Travelling 4 of us but only has 2 cups & saucers in the drawer?? Nice selection of teas. What we like the most is the LOCATION. Only walking distance to Chinatown and Darling Harbour, lots cafes and restaurants nearby. Parking was easy, pay upfront at the Hotel beforehand, or if you enter the car park before paying like we did, just go to the Reception, once you’ve paid, they’ll issue another parking paid ticket. Multiple entry and exit during your stay. We’ll be back. Highly recommended.

We absolutely loved this place. Amazing location on the outskirts of Chinatown and a stones throw away from the trams. Though the Opera House was an easy 30 minute stroll Staff were fantastic, drinks were reasonable and the gym was user friendly, pool was a little cold for me, but it was incredible hot so that might have made it feel colder. When we return to Sydney, we’d absolutely stay here again. We’d 100% recommended this hotel!
