The Fullerton Hotel Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"Check in was so easy and fast, staff were very friendly and I loved my room. My room was clean and perfect for my stay"

View Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"We had an excellent stay at the View Sydney Hotel! I would especially like to recognize the staff who were working on October 8, 2026. The two ladies who assisted us were incredibly accommodating, friendly, and helpful. I wish I had gotten their names so I could thank them personally. We arrived early and needed to leave our belongings before check-in, and they were very quick and helpful in assisting us with our luggage. We also greatly appreciated the kindness of the lady working on the morning of October 10, who generously allowed us an extra hour for late check-out. These thoughtful gestures made our stay even more enjoyable. Overall, we had a wonderful experience. Our room had an amazing view of Sydney Harbour and the Harbour Bridge, which made our stay even more memorable. The location, service, and beautiful views made this hotel a great choice for our Sydney trip. We would definitely stay here again!"
