Top Newtown Hotel Reviews

Rydges Sydney Airport Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely clean room. Great restaurants and staff. Very convenient."

Paradox Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed at the Paradox for one night to attend a wedding in the City and was pleasantly surprised with our choice of hotel. First off, the valet parking was fast and efficient as was the check-in procedure. Staff were courteous and pleasant. Our room was quite spacious, as was the bathroom, with all necessary amenities supplied. Comfortable bed and totally quiet surroundings. The buffet breakfast was most enjoyable and leisurely as check-out was noon. Highly recommend and would stay there again."

Novotel Sydney on Darling Harbour

8/10 Good

"Check in was very accommodating and friendly. We were allowed to check in early. Staff were helpful and friendly. Very convenient location - near harbor, ferry, places to eat, and light rail was just in front of the property. Wear and tear is obvious as the property fixtures appear old and have seen much use. Not enough light in the rooms. Tapping and hammering were heard at 7:30AM near our room as if there was someone fixing something in the Housekeeping section beside our room - waking us up. There was an insect flying inside the room once the lights were turned off. There was a section in the hotel's parking where the birds roost and your car will be full of their droppings once you leave the premise. There is a need to improve here."
