5/5 Excellent

"Good service and clean rooms"

A verified traveler stayed at The Fullerton Hotel Sydney

Posted 1 day ago

5/5 Excellent

"The hotel is at a very convenient spot, walkable to lots of destinations! A short walk to Darling Harbour (for Saturday night fireworks), Chinatown (lots of restaurants), Townhall and QVB for sightseeing, and a short taxi ride to Sydney Opera House and the area. The breakfast at the hotel has lots of options and taste good, and the breakfast package pricing was good. The restaurant for breakfast has a great view and comfy seating. The room we had was the 1bedroom executive suite and it was spacious and nice."
