Overall the hotel is your standard 3-4 star Australian property. The hotel is located approx 200m back off the water at Darling Harbour. It is within walking distance from the monorail, train and Central station for buses to outer Sydney suburbs. We found the hotel easily used as a base to commute around Sydney travelling to outer suburbs for football... more

I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights in early 2008 for a business trip to Sydney. I have stayed at many Novotels - and can only assume that the 'Rockford' label is the generic name of the branding. The hotel has all the requirements of a business hotel - is nice and clean and conveniently located in the heart... more

Stayed here on a whirl wind tour of Australia, typical business hotel. Good rooms, spacious, with all the amenties you'd expect, good minibar, good bathroom, there's a black out blind in the room which is pretty cool to get over the jetlag. Great location, you can walk anywhere in the city from here, max distance is about 25minutes to the... more

I virtually lived at this hotel throughout 2003 one week on one week off. The things I liked about the hotel as a facility are pretty much the same. It’s small, it’s not a tour bus drop zone and very close to all the key elements of what people (visiting) like the about the city of Sydney. So what’s happened... more

My husband I recently stayed here for our 10th wedding anniversay. We had a very 'rare' 4 days away from our 2 children. After spending alot of time reading the reviews of all the hotels in the Darling habour area in our price range I thought the Novotel looked really nice. I was bitterly dissapointed with pretty much everything about... more

got to the hotel before 11am and the room was ready, very helpful reception staff, room twin bedded and very comfortable and clean, we were booked in for three nights Friday and Sunday reasonably priced but I felt Saturday at double the price was extreme, apart from that the location was good although could be a lot of noise from... more

We stayed in the Novotel Rockford Darling Harbour hotel for 2 nights in March '08 in a Superior King room. We arrived early morning on Good Friday at the hotel, knowing that check-in was only at 11am. But the hotel had a vacant room at 8am & they allowed us to check into the room, without any extra charge. The... more
