Very nice property and easy access to restaurants around. Hotel had only one pool with too much chlorine smell so couldn’t go there. No spa and anything special for kids. If coming alone or with partner is good for a night or two as nice restaurants around and easy access to ICC Sydney if attending an event.

Novotel Darling Square has an excellent pool and gym. They also have a kid’s room, with giant screens and e games, fully stocked with free kids’ snacks. The down side is that there’s no air vent in the on-suite bathroom, and there’s a notice that says steam from a shower can trigger the smoke alarms, and guests are liable for the $1600 charge.
