4-Star Hotels in Sydney

The location is excellent—it's very close to the Metro. Walking to Macquarie Centre only takes around 11 minutes as well. The surrounding area is a low-density commercial district, which makes the environment very comfortable. Service is generally good: the front desk staff are friendly and were able to resolve my issues promptly. Because I selected the wrong room type, the staff kindly arranged for my final three nights in another room. Even though there was a difference in price, it was only about AUD 10 per day. What surprised me most was that the room came equipped with a fridge, a washer-dryer, an induction cooktop, an oven, dishwasher and a coffee machine. For tourists, I think it’s a 10/10 experience—next time, I would definitely choose to stay here again. The only drawback is that no one cleans on Sundays. There are always small oversights with housekeeping. One night, there was a dirty cloth left in my room. After I reported it, the front desk staff handled it promptly. These are small issues, and I hope the hotel can improve housekeeping so everything stays consistent.

This hotel is walking distance to a lot of stores and food . 5 -8 mns walk to paddy’s market ,china town ,tiktok entertainment and town hall train station but theres also a   Regular tram in georges street, one train ride from the airport , circular quay where the harbour ,opera house and wharf tours going to the zoo. Chemist warehouse and coles just few blocks . I also had an emergency while in sydney lucky theres a couple of medical places nearby too. For tourist theres a money changer nearby chemist ..hotel is also clean !reception both night and morning are all friendly did not tried the buffet for me who leaves in OZ $37 a bit pricey when theres a lot of resto around …i would recommend this hotel  100 percent

Hotel is very close to Central Station so going around town is super convenience without a car. Room I booked is small but very clean with daily housekeeping. Price is quite competitive compared to most hotels with similar amenities. Coffee and tea drinks are available 24x7 and free breakfast snack and fruits in the morning. There is no parking on site but there are couple of parking places for 45-49 dollars a day. I will stay here again if I'm in Sydney next time.

The hotel rooms are spacious, one-bedroom with a kitchen and a washer/dryer, which is especially great for a mid-trip break to wash clothes and prepare enough outfits for the next leg of the journey. It's very close to Mascot Station, the self-service BBQ downstairs at the hotel is excellent, there are many restaurants nearby, and a Woolworths. Very convenient.

The hotel's location is excellent, right by QVB and Town Hall metro station. It's also quite clean, and the staff are friendly. The only downside is the poor soundproofing; you can hear the water running from the room above. Overall, it offers good value for money.

The location is very convenient, and the view is excellent. Overall, the stay was fantastic. The room was clean and tidy, and the facilities were well-maintained. The front desk service was enthusiastic and efficient, making check-in and check-out quick. The geographical location is superior, making travel convenient, and the bedding was very comfortable to sleep in. I would choose to stay here again next time, highly recommended! It was a very good stay. The rooms were quiet and clean, and the staff were polite and friendly. The facilities were comprehensive, and the value for money was great. Everything exceeded expectations, highly recommended.

Booked a family room. The room was spacious and clean. The location is excellent, and transportation is very convenient. Stayed in Sydney for four nights, and it was easy to get everywhere. We tried all sorts of transportation methods. If I have the chance to visit Sydney again, I would definitely consider staying at Vibe again! 👍🏻

It's in a great location and the unit is quite spacious but unfortunately that's about as good as it gets. Parking is an extra fee which I didn't see mentioned anywhere and despite booking through trip.com reception takes a $200 security deposit. There's no direct access to the units from the parking garage and no lifts to higher levels. We had a lot of luggage as a family of 6 but it was manageable for us as we were on ground floor it might be an issue for people on higher floors. The receptionist said ”Oh, you've got a nice room!” So we had high hopes. The unit presented well at first but there were no mesh screens on the doors or windows so we couldn't open them to get any fresh air, the shower door in the ensuite didn't close properly and the floor gets soaked, even with the exhaust on in the main bathroom it filled up with so much condensation after a morning shower that the walls and floor were wet all day resulting in both me and my youngest child slipping over. Luckily neither of us were hurt. We were only given 4 towels even though I put 6 people on our booking details and we were in a room that sleeps 6. There was a cigarette lighter left on the bed head, smashed coffee mug under the vanity in one of the bathrooms, food packets/rubbish under the couches, hole in the wall, window missing a piece of trim. There was something on the couch so I used a baby wipe to wipe it off and the entire wipe was black so I don't think the couches ever get wiped over. We were there for 4 nights 5 days and housekeeping came to our unit once. As all 6 of us were all inside at the time I said ”there's just some rubbish and one bed that needs clean sheets please” The ladies did those things then asked if we'd like them to vacuum, I said yes please and they left, I assumed to get the vacuum, but they didn't come back. On our 1st morning we were walking down to the parking and noticed 3 used syringes in the garden outside our unit, we told reception and the man said ”someone probably dropped them” We made it clear to him that they were used and had exposed tips. When we arrived back that afternoon, they were still in the garden and in fact still there days later when we checked out.

I highly recommend the Novotel Sydney Darling Harbour! The overall experience was superb, and the service was exceptionally attentive. The front desk offers Chinese-speaking staff, and a lovely girl from Suzhou was particularly warm and thoughtful, proactively helping with various issues and kindly sharing local travel tips. This makes the hotel very friendly to Chinese tourists. The hotel's location is excellent, backing onto Chinatown and right next to Darling Harbour Pier, making it incredibly convenient for getting around and finding food. Plus, it's a pick-up point for local day tour groups, which makes joining tours very hassle-free. Both the convenience of travel and the service experience are impeccable. For Chinese friends visiting Sydney, I highly recommend choosing this hotel.

This is my second stay. The last time was before the pandemic. I feel that the hotel has not changed much overall, but there are some minor adjustments. There is a pungent smell of spray paint in the corridor near the room. After I told the front desk, I immediately changed the room and gave a bottle of red wine. The only thing I think is that the hotel parking is expensive.
