I recently stayed at the Novotel Sydney on Darling Harbour and had a wonderful experience from start to finish. The rooms were comfortable, the location was perfect for exploring the city, and the staff was consistently friendly and professional.
One highlight in particular was their breakfast bar, which offers a free barista service - something I rarely see at other hotels. On my third day, I enjoyed one of the best coffees I've had in a long time, prepared by Jamie. He is clearly service-oriented and went out of his way to ensure every guest felt welcomed. I was especially impressed by the way he graciously handled a difficult guest just before serving me, demonstrating genuine class and top-notch customer service. It's evident that Jamie is a natural leader and an asset to the hotel.
Overall, the breakfast, the amazing coffee, and the thoughtful service made my stay truly memorable. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Sydney and look forward to returning in the future.
