Since this was our second time to Sydney, we wanted to stay at the Novotel again since we really enjoyed our previous stay. Unfortunately there is more than one Novotel in Sydney and this definately wasn't the one we stayed in before. The funiture was old and worn. It looked like it needed an over-haul! Also there was a dead... More

Novotel Rockford gives you easy access to Darling Harbour venues (particularly Convention/Exhibition), whilst placing you within easy walking reach of the CBD. A perfect in between home base. Or, right next to the Entertainment Centre if in Sydney for a Show, or almost next to iMax for a flick.

If you are just looking for access to Darling Harbour, China Town and are not interested in the service, facilities or a very basic run down room, then stay here. In desperate need of upgrading décor and even basic things like the phone in the room. My door in the morning was almost knocked down by an over zealous house... More

I have stayed at this hotel often, finding that the rates are competitive and the location central. Rooms are clean, well appointed and the wifi (if included) is excellent. Staff generally helpful. The hotel would benefit from an omelet station to enhance the offering then it would be fine.

Have stayed before about 3 years ago and thoroughly enjoyed. Came back for Conference and hotel reception was very lousy. I had prebooked and paid for my stay and arrived early and went to lunch with wife. Came back around 1.30pm and room still not ready.

Novatel Rochford was a good choice for us at this time as it suited the area that we wanted to visit. Also it was a good price through the Accor Club. Its location is close to China Town, Darling Harbour and Cockle Bay, and public transport.

hotel location is very convenient to public transport and Darling Harbour, Convention Centre and Chinatown restaurants. Club lounge was disappointing as usually facilities have complimentary happy hour with light snacks and often breakfast served.. After a very busy weekend, we were looking for a quiet dinner in the hotel however,it only provides access to the busy and noisy restaurant which... More

My wife had bad experiences in sleeping in hotel beds causing her pre-existing backpains. The bed at your hotel was just perfect for her and she slept like a baby, and she cannot wait until we have a social event or function to be held again at your hotel.
