Staff were courteous and efficient. Room was quiet, with good views. The king size bed and "blackout" blinds were good. However:
1. The bathroom was pathetically small, even compared to the average country motel room. The short glass shower wall covered half the shower/bath space and water leaked onto the floor during each shower. Very poor, cheap design.
2. There was no stand to place luggage on. Awkward when you want to retrieve clothing. The northern wall contained only a hanging clothes/shoes cupboard and fridge. The rest of the wall was empty except for a chair/tiny table. It looked as if furnishings had been removed and not replaced.
3. The overall build quality of bathroom and walls was low standard - it had the air of a cheap renovation. Even wall corners were formed with metal covers, instead of normal masonry or gyprock which gives a smooth finish.
For the price of $583.95 + $100 parking for 2 nights, I consider Novotel York Street to be poor value.

Room lay out and cleanliness is fantastic as i the hotel location, It can be a tad noisey due to it location. The Lack of Parking is a issue especially for someone who is driving a long way and wanting to use there car on a daily basis and the options for any other parking is ridiculously priced.
Room was kind of old and had lots of stains on the carpet. Room was really noisy with all the sounds form a rear street. Bathroom was tiny and shower was terrible as either you froze or burned with it. Also water went out of the shower too and floor was always wet.
Location wise was incredible and had a nice breakfast too.
The location of the hotel is extremely convenient. It's located approx. 35 mins away from the airport to hotel if you take a train. There is direct train connection with only 5mins walk to hotel. The hotel is relatively near to many of the attractions, approx. 15-20mins walk. The only downside is that there seems to be lack of ventilation in the toilet.
My only complaint was the shower. It did not hold a temperature, suddenly turning either freezing cold or scalding hot. On the plus side, great location, clean, helpful staff.

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Central and closeby to circular quay.
Would like to see the toilet extraction fan vent cleaned, a lot of dust and dirty on that vent otherwise room reasonably clean.
Good place, everything is nearby for the marathon weekend. Famous attractions are easily accessible by walking or train. The hotel staff are very polite and helpful. The only drawback is the restroom, which is quite small, and water spills outside as there is no door when showering. Apart from that, everything else was good, and a few other minor issues were already addressed.
