"This hotel is gorgeous on the inside and provides a nice range of breakfast, lunch, dinner, and bar options if you don’t feel like leaving the hotel to find food.
It’s nestled on th sidewalks of George Street and Pitt Street, and is literally across the street from all of the main shops and restaurants within walking distance. I can’t tell you how many times I enjoyed the 20-minute walk from my hotel to the Sydney Opera House, just taking in all of the bustling street activity.
The staff is very friendly and the breakfast in the morning was delicious. My only issue is that the bed felt a little too soft and uneven at the top, and the pillows were high, so I felt like I didn’t get the best sleep.
Loved the gym and loved the hot stone massage at their Alysium Spa.
But to conclude, this hotel is the perfect spot to be able to have great food and be close to the action outside. "
"We had a three night stay at View Sydney and were most impressed with the outstanding view of the Sydney Harbour. The room was nice and clean and the breakfasts were excellent.
There was easy access to the harbour by water taxi or train, all of which were close to the hotel."
"First time at this chain. Attentive staff, clean common areas. Hotel was busy, but the lifts ran well with very little wait time.
Room was clean. Plenty of supplies in the bathroom and tea/coffee bench. Aside from worn door handles on the cupboards, a very positive and enjoyable stay.
Breakfast buffet was nice - plenty of variety plus including a cook to order egg station. Didn't feel crowded even thought it was busy.
Darling Harbour is literally across the road. So convenient to stroll over and watch the 9pm fireworks via the pedestrian footbridge shortcut.
Town Hall/QVB a 5 minute walk up the road.
Pitt St Mall 10 mins.
Chinatown 5 minutes away, plenty of food options."
