Novotel Sydney Darling Square in Sydney

Facilities: The hotel's facilities are pretty standard, the furniture is old, and there's nothing particularly special about it. The lobby environment, in particular, is quite ordinary and small.
Hygiene: Overall, the room's cleanliness was very good, but the sofa was dirty with many stains.
Service: The front desk staff were unenthusiastic, especially one male wearing glasses. He spoke English very quickly, which made communication difficult for those not fluent in English, wasting a lot of time during check-in.
Environment: The hotel generally lacks distinct features. They promote an eco-friendly concept, but a smoke alarm will trigger if you don't close the bathroom door tightly while showering. This wasn't communicated to us, which gave us a fright. We only later found a warning on the bathroom glass, which isn't ideal, especially for non-English speakers who wouldn't notice it at all.
