Novotel Sydney Manly Pacific

We have stayed here a few times and this time was good except that we found water all over the bathroom floor soon after we arrived.. The leak was fixed promptly but took an hour which meant we could not get into the bathroom before going out for the evening.
The rest of the time was fine and up to our expectations.
I do not like having to pay the full price prior to our stay. Surely a credit card number is sufficient to ensure we will pay as we are accor members.

I really enjoyed my stay at the Novotel Manly. The staff were very responsive, courteous and friendly. The breakfast buffet was wonderful and offered a wide range of food. The rooms were clean and spacious.
Thank you for an enjoyable stay.

Thank you for a most delightful stay! First time visitor to your establishment and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
I would like to pay our thanks to all the staff who made our stay enjoyable especially the staff on the front desk, the young man who was in the basement car park for his service (a rather lonely existence), the cleaning staff and especially the morning kitchen staff for their service and friendliness. The open kitchen arrangement was something that we had not experienced and was another dimension to the total atmosphere of the dining room.
Just one small criticism: The doors to the rooms, when left to close by themselves, make an rather loud noise and is especially notable when occupants are continually leaving and entering. An adjustment to allow for a more subtle closing would be great.
Apart from that the view from the room facing the beach, was awesome. We would love to come back and stay again.

We enjoyed the stay, as the kids enjoyed a dip in the pool, which has a beautiful view from the roof of the Hotel. The Hotel was clean & all staff were friendly & helpful. The buffet breakfast in the morning was fantastic, as there was a huge variety to choose from. Only issue was we requested a sofa bed for our child & that was not supplied, we even double checked at check in, but still nothing had arrived or was communicated to us. So our child had to sleep with us.

We had a great weekend. It was easy to get from the airport to the hotel via train and ferry. The hotel is only a short walk or very short taxi ride from the ferry terminal. On arrival our room was ready and we went straight up. We were on the top floor which was above any street noise and had a pleasant view to the west. (We didn't overlook the beach). Our room had a comfortable king size bed and functional bathroom.
There was a rooftop pool which was small but adequate. Lots of interesting shopping in easy walking distance. Overall we had a great weekend.

I was born and bred in Manly and have grown up knowing the Manly Pacific. As a Le Club Accor member, it was our first port of call. Although the hallways are a bit outdated, the rooms and the beds are nice. Unfortunately our air conditioner did not work the 1st 2 nights and all the concierge did was make sure we were using it properly...which we were. 3rd time finally someone came up to fix it and low and behold, there was a technical issue. So night 3 was finally a cool and comfortable experience.
Having Daniel San down stairs is fantastic.
Only 1 other down side was ordering our drinks and the wine that I ordered was delivered by a waitress who held my glass by the rim, not by the stem. As we are hoteliers, this was one of the most basic of things that we teach our staff.

Mind you, all in all, we will be back. Heart of manly, great views, great bed, Daniel San's cosmopolitans are great!
Thanks so much.

Highly recommended! Staff are friendly, courteous and really went out of their way to make my stay enjoyable. First time ever Ive slept in a Hotel bed and been really comfortable. Buffet breakfast was amazing & the Gluten free bread is the best Ive found. Keep up the great work

Our room was booked by a relative of us months in advance. We checked in about 2 am after attending a wedding.

Receptionist gave us a room card and when we opened it we found a couple sleeping inside. Explained this to reception and all sorted out about 10 minutes later.

The room had 2 queen size beds, spacious, clean with a big balcony facing child care centre. Breakfast was included in the room tariff.

Hotel is across the road from beach and valet car parking cost us about $45 a night.

Very friendly staff, very clean and comfortable beds, lots of fun for the kids with a mini zoo on Sunday, which was perfect for us as we had all our family and kids for Sunday breakfast.
Sadly the air conditioning didn't work in the dining room, it was so hot, but the manager said he couldn't open the windows!! I understand you can't let the public in through the huge doors but they could have been opened a couple of inches.
The pool was lovely and we had a lot of fun, toys and towels appreciated too.

The experience was very enjoyable. It was disappointing that there weren't any complimentary biscuits to have with the complimentary tea and coffee . The drinking glasses were not wrapped in paper bags. There was no pricelist for the minibar. For such an expensive restaurant downstairs, there should have been white linen tablecloths. It just looked like a bistro setting in a club. I've seen advertisements on TV free breakfast when we stay at the Novotel but we never got the free breakfast.

I went to a wedding reception here on the second floor which had a beautiful view. Catering staff were good and professional and food served was too my liking. Only issue I had, and as well as others that went to the wedding, was retrieving their car from valet in the underground car park. Overall, quite enjoyable.
