Absolutely below standard customer service and policies. We had a family medical emergency on the day of the check in and had to be in ED for almost 7 hours. We had to cancel our flight tickets as well. We requested multiple times to consider the booking for refund or some kind of voucher to be used in future but their team did not bother to even discuss the option with us and just sent an email that they have decided that there is no solution other that forfeiting the entire amount (approx AUD 1000 for two nights) Will not recommend Novotel as they lack empathy when the customer is undergoing emergency.

We chose Novotel Darling Harbour for our 21st anniversary celebration and it truly exceeded our expectations. The staff were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and efficient throughout our stay. We were thrilled to receive a complimentary upgrade from our Executive Room to an Executive Loft Suite, which made our celebration feel extra special. The suite was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable, with a beautiful view facing the harbour. It also featured an ensuite spa, which made the stay even more relaxing and perfect for our celebration. Great location, fantastic service, and a memorable experience all around. We would happily stay again and highly recommend this hotel for a special getaway.
