Great rooms but reception service was a let down
The room was comfortable and clean. Door staff were friendly and proactive. Somehow the reception staff was a complete let down. Slow, understaffed and made errors. Check-out was made simple as I was told I can simply return the keys and any additional charges would be charged directly to my card. That somehow resulted in me being double-charged for the room. That is despite it being confirmed at check-in that I’ve already paid. When I came to pick up my suitcase I had to queue up for 25mins to speak to someone about this issue at reception. This was at 3pm which is their standard check-in time and the hotel had only 2 staff manning the reception desks. The queue had about 4 groups before me when I started queuing up. By the time it was my turn, there were about 6-7 groups after me also getting frustrated by the long wait. The service is shocking for a hotel that claims to have 590 rooms. Hopefully it’s something they’ll improve. In terms of my refund, they said it’ll take up to 7 days to process and the staff didn’t offer much more than an explanation that someone made an error and didn’t acknowledge that it was an inconvenience to us.

Wonderful stay
The location is excellent, right on the waterfront in Darling Harbour and with a light rail stop almost outside the door to get you into Haymarket (and from there up into the CBD). Access to The Star and the Lyric Theatre is via a short walk (5–10 min) or the light rail. Walking is a little confusing at the moment due to construction next door, but you can go via the Novotel car park (cross over at the light rail stop, go up to level 4 of the car park, then walk out onto Murray St). The soundproofing in the rooms seemed excellent. We didn't get too much noise from outside and didn't hear other rooms at all. The room was comfortable, modern, and clean. The only issues we had were 1) the bathroom lighting is pretty poor for shaving and makeup (then again, most hotel bathroom lighting is), and 2) the new electronic (phone app) room keys didn't work at first. They eventually did work, using a completely different app (odd), though they were pretty slow to activate. Hopefully, they'll fix the teething issues soon because it is very convenient to be able to access the room using my phone and not a physical key.

Great stay, horrible sleep.
The check in experience was average- didn't tell us what time to check out, where to park, how to get our car etc. The valet parking staff were very friendly. The room was large and very nice. The bed was horrible to sleep on- the mattress was very poor. You do get to order a pillow of your choice from a menu which is a great service. The pool has excellent views.
