What guests think

At Novotel Sydney Olympic Park, travellers consistently praise the super-convenient location for Accor Stadium, Qudos Bank Arena and trains, while feedback on rooms, cleanliness and facilities is mixed, with recurring mentions of dated areas, maintenance issues and pricey, tight parking.

Many guests highlight friendly, helpful staff, though several report long check-in lines and occasional difficulty reaching room service or resolving requests. Rooms are often described as spacious with comfortable beds and views, but others note tired decor, sagging or wheeled mattresses, noise, patchy air-conditioning and slow Wi‑Fi, plus intermittent plumbing or fixture faults. Cleanliness ranges from spotless to issues like dust, hair or even pests, and dining feedback varies from enjoyable breakfasts to average meals, high prices and temporary bar or restaurant closures. Expect excellent event access with trade-offs in consistency.

We booked two king balcony suites for a 5 day Buisness trip. The rooms are looking very tired. Being located on the 4th floor there was a lot of street noise from outside. About the room. There were only 4 sachets of coffee and one small container of milk, the milk was not replaced after day one and the coffee ran out after day two. While this may seem trivial we wanted to see how long it would take to replenish if we did not complain. It was never replenished, so considering we were paying $3-400 a night itwas very disappointing. The door lock to the room broke after the room was serviced so we returned after a day out to find our door ajar. Luckily nothing was missing, the door could lock from the inside. This we did immediately report and unfortunately maintenance had left for the day and the duty manager did attempt a repair. Finally they advertise a gym/ fitness center. This however is not on site and you need to walk across the road to the Pullman hotel and use their facilities which I found very inconvenient. I feel the hotel needs to remove this from their listing but if they do they risk bringing their 4 star rating down to the 3 stars it deserves. The Pullman across the road is a 5 star rated hotel and its room rates were similar to what we paid. As a regular Buisness traveller who books for the national sales team I wanted to review their facilities for my people unfortunately the Novotel did not pass inspection as a comfortable option for my staffs future use.

No aircon was a getaway dampener.. local wedding to attend, so 3pm check in made it a rushed time to prepare, we left the aircon set on 20 as we like it cool to sleep, got back the the suite around 12 and the room was hot, it was like the temperature setting was a global set, not an individual room adjustment. king suite, so luckily we had the balcony door to open for the outside cool, but this just let bugs and noise in. Front desk were nice, but given the time of the night, understandable there was not a lot they could do to help. I will note also $49 for DIY parking per night was more than I paid for the previous night at Sydney Airport Valet.. something doesn’t seem right with that. Overall a nice hotel and great location, Ubers are everywhere around. Room was nice and breakfast was stock standard buffet.

The hotel itself was stunning and staff were very attentative and friendly and very helpful, the parking is not great as it has both hotels trying to park in an underground carpark which is very small so i would recommend not driving in if you can avoid it.

For the price I paid it really wasn’t worth the money . Staff were great however the room had a smell to it most likely coming from the carpet . Car park was tiny . The gym was in another building across the street . It was very close to the venue I was going to . All in all if prices were dropped I would stay again however for prices advertised not worth it

It served the purpose of being a room for the nights we stayed. There was an issue with one lift, and they didn't consider opening the stairs/ fire escape so that people could use them so we were stuck waiting up to 15 minutes maybe more for the lift, it was very frustrating. The gym shared with the pullman was limited and not worth having, which given the location you would think there would be a good gym, I think even with passes for other facilities given where it is have a facilities. The bar were amazing for the 100 guest who were there as part of our conference, and the breakfast was ok, but well over priced at $38 for buffet. I would stay again if I had too, but perhpas based on facilites and the lift I would look at staying else where and commuting in. We paied about 280-310 per night.

The room was dusty. For example..thick dust around the light switch in the bathroom and around the door frame of entrance. Weird old smell in the hallway. It was weird having a shared facilities in the pullman hotel opposite from novotel for additional cost. Also, that ibis is connected to novotel. Just a weird experience. The sprinkler and ventilator/ aircon had cobwebs. And the shower water gets all over the as the shower door has a small gap for water to get out.

While the foyer was lovely, the floor we stayed on seen much better days (old carpet, paint missing and emergency doors held open with towels). In the room, the beds sagged and there was an obvious and sizeable patch near the bed headboard that was covered in a film of dust. It obviously had not been vacuumed in some time. While the staff were excellent, I paid more so that my family could stay at the Novotel rather than the Ibis next door. Had I known the property quality I would have booked at the ibis instead.

Room was really expensive so expected more. Hotel is 90s style and showing its age in areas. The decor with the blinds with a red splash pattern looked like there had been a massacre in the room. Definitely needs some updating style wise. Wifi was very slow which is a deal breaker for me. Breakfast was ok but the coffee was terrible. price wasnt that great. Location was what i needed but probably would look elsewhere next time as the price was high.

Hotel was clean and comfortable but finding staff was like finding a ghost. Check-in took nearly an hour waiting in line. We decided to get room service but the QR code wasn't working. We called room service to get a menu but the phone rang out several times. Called Reception and it was answered on the 4th thime it rang out and a menu was sent up to the room. Tried to order but room service did not answer the phone - tried for 30 mins continually but no answer. We ran out of time eventually and had to get something unhealthy from outside. Also the room curtains looked like a massacre had happened there!! Not to my taste. Disappointed in the service for this style of hotel

I really enjoyed my stay at the Novotel in Sydney Olympic Park. Everything was clean, pleasant and luxurious with 24 hour room service and a gorgeous spa bath. I have two little suggestions - change your coffee provider, I tried both the barista coffee and the machine coffee available for conference attendees and neither was drinkable. The other very small issue was that when using the spa bath, you have to be alert enough to fill two small containers (I used the bathroom glasses) with the shampoo and liquid soap from the shower recess as they are bolted in and not accessible from the bath. Apart from that (and the curtains that look as though there has been a massacre in the room) I would recommend the place very highly. The staff are super helpful and friendly. Shout out to Amir, the Head Welcomer.
