    Room service has limited menu (and no ice cream), indoor pool should be open to kids (it was freezing outside), spa should be warm

    The bed, big mirror, comfortable room. View from balcony.

    Parts of the hotel are still being renovated, but I didn't have any problem with noise or other issues. The dining and recreation services were all open and accessible.

    Stayed here for a work conference, which meant a nice opportunity to explore an area of Sydney that I hadn't been before. Rooms were spacious and clean, the bathroom was very modern with good amenities. The services for the conference itself were also great, with good food and friendly staff.

    We were given warning of building work from 0800 and it started extremely loud from 0710, I feel for the price we paid this could have been reflexed. We could not stay in the hotel room in the day as building work so loud, and water cut off most of the day, warning gave that morning. Understand work needs to be done but lack of water… couldn’t even use toilet and so loud couldn’t stay in room in day, could have reflected in the £115.00 a night (without breakfast) price.

    The rooms were clean, spacious and comfortable, nice decor.

    The noise from the (almost empty) third floor bar pumped into our room and there was nothing I could do. I was LOUD - house tracks till midnight on Saturday. Less intrusive in Sunday. Really spoilt things for me.

    New carpets and refurbished rooms were clean and funky

    Needs to be more family friendly. Spa didn't work and staff did.not make concessions to allow kids to use indoor pool, even when there wasn't a single person in there.

    Renovated well, lovely decor.

    I was asked to pay a $300 bond on arrival this is new as it was only $100 last time - someone on a budget but wants to stay somewhere good this was a shock and I had to ask the manager to waiver this as I arrived on wednesday and I wasn't paid till friday and I didn't have the extra for the room - this is higher as a bond than most places - just because the hotel is being renovated I felt this was excessive

    Room was fine and so was view even that I was at rear of premise I try to always stay at Brigthon le sands

    The original room was absolutely terrible

    We started off on a bad foot as I was placed in room 1207 and it was definitely dated, I went and had a chat with the main desk and asked if we could change room as the room had a terrible smell and was not what i was expecting from the Novotel, They swapped me to a freshly renovated room which was much better.
