YEHS Hotel Sydney Harbour Suites

8/10 Good

"The location is ideal, near to shopping and transportation, this also means it can be noisy with traffic. We had a 1 bed apartment, kitchen and a washer/dryer, this was handy as we had just come from a long cruise, with no laundromat onboard, so it was nice to freshen up some of our clothes, you can buy washing powder at reception, just bring what you think you will need. No restaurant at the hotel, but plenty of options nearby, also a few supermarkets where we bought some bread, milk etc, no bowls in the room for our cereal, so bought a couple. Air conditioner was not working when we arrived, we reported it straight away, the fault could not be fixed, but we were supplied with 2 tower fans which worked better for us. All in, it was a comfortable stay, and would stay again."

Novotel Sydney on Darling Harbour

8/10 Good

"Great location and view. Very comfortable room with cozy bed and blackout shade. I mentioned we were staying to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday and they surprised us with a little treat and a bottle of bubbly! However even room service couldn't direct us to find the room service menu so the concierge had to bring us a hard copy."

8/10 Good

"Great location and modern hotel. Unfortunately the cleaning of the room was disappointing. The dust was obvious and surfaces not cleaned properly. Even after asking it was mediocre. We had to request basics such as face cloths and teabags. There were no firm pillows available. I don't see the point in a glitzy hotel if the basics are forgotten."
