Bathroom is fantastic in terms of size, balcony is beautiful but the rest needs a massive revamp. With the amount that they charge I can't understand why they don't refurbish the hotel. No internet but if you join the loyalty program you get free WiFi. I suggest you join the loyalty club! You can hear quite a bit of noise from the outside. The view of planes taking off and landing from the airport is just amazing for me! Overall the hotel is good just in need of a revamp!

She upgraded my room for free, so I got a suite on the 10th floor with a view if the beach. It was even cooler to see the airport, actually. She also came around from the country and showed me which pamphlets were useful for sightseeing. Awesome. My biggest problem is that there is no free internet. Well you can get it for free for 30 min in the lobby, but that's crazy.

There are a few Novotels around town but this one is very close to Central station so it is easy to…read moreget to from the airport by train. Of course, you need a map once you get to Central (exit toward George Street and then go down Hay Street and Thomas Street is on your left) so make sure you print out the map in advance since people may direct you to the other Novotel in Darling Harbour. The best thing about the hotel is its location and the breakfast buffet! There is currently construction all around so be a little careful if you want to sleep in since that may not be possible! This is the hotel I recommend to all my out of town guests - can't beat the location and there are often deals that make it priced well.

Stayed a week for business…read more Pros: Beds are really comfortable, nice desk in room. Breakfast is pretty good (but not free). Decent TV in room. While I didn't use the pool or spa, it looked really clean. Nice lobby. Helpful and friendly staff all around. Great location, walkable to central station. Cons: Not only is the internet not free, but it costs $60 for a week, and the connection is somewhat spotty. Bathroom is tiny. And the worst part: the connecting room door is so thin, I could make out conversations in the next room.

My Sister-in-Law told the Front Desk the same thing, that we weren't happy. They immediately apologized and said, they were under construction that they were currently updating rooms. The Manager gave us new rooms that were upgraded. Big difference in rooms, sorry forgot to take a picture of the outdated room. The newly upgraded rooms were much nicer, it gave me a shabby modern feel. Comfortable bed , marble Bathroom and mini Refrigerator to name a few things. Customer service was polite and swift in their response. They also have a restaurant called the Curve inside the Hotel next to the lobby.

Good-sized suites with plenty of room to spread out. I would stay there again under similar circumstances - traveling alone for a short stay.

For first timers visiting San Francisco, I'd say stay near Fisherman's Wharf along the Embarcadero. Basically, with limited time and so much to see I like staying where all the action is. Darling Harbour, for a tourist, is where all the action is. You're right on the harbor where the skyline views are awesome. I liked having some great architecture like the Harbour Bridge and Opera House within walking distance. Best yet, there's a shopping mall and a monorail/tube station literally next door so food, transportation, and shopping options are convenient.

Stateside, their luxury brand is the Sofitel. No complaints with their modern rooms.

But this is why I like them. Always reliable and dependable. Novitels appreciate return patronage. My room is always upgraded, free wifi and free drinks. Room 802 this time and it looks out over a lovely Chinese garden. Bed linen is of a high quality. 100% cotton sheets is important to me. It means I stay cool . Ohhhh very cool feature: they have a "pillow menu" ! Iove this as hotel pillows often suck. The bed + the pillows here make me miss home a little less . Breakfast included is of a good quality. The first morning I had an expresso and Bircher, both were excellent I did see a bunch tourists stuffing their faces , can't blame them as there was a abundance of food options, notably a large selection of pastries that looked delicious . Oh! Very good bathroom products too ! But the gym sucks

Very attentive staff. Our room on the 15th floor has a small view of the city. Room is clean. No bath tub, just shower. Less risk for someone with disability like myself. Shampoo, conditioner, and bath soap are great - lathers and cleans. Enjoyed their coffee. Enough space for 2 peeps. Doesn't feel cramped with 2 luggages spread out. The lay out was well designed. I like the built-in sleeves. Very functional and keeps things tidy. Bed is comfy. They don't provide free water. Not a big deal. The hotel is close to supermarkets. To top it all, breakfast is free! Buffet style. Will fill you up and get your morning going. Downside? Exactly the same food for 2 consecutive mornings. Can't say on the 3rd since our flight is very early. No time for breakfast on the 3rd day.
