My wife and I booked a staycation at The Fullerton in Sydney for a little city escape, and while the service was absolutely top-notch—the staff were warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive—the hotel itself is starting to show its age.
The heritage bones of the building are beautiful, and there’s definitely charm in the old-world atmosphere, but it feels like it’s resting a bit too much on that charm. Our room was clean and comfortable, but the décor and furnishings could use a refresh. A few scuff marks here, a bit of tired carpet there—it all adds up.
That said, location is unbeatable and the team really does go out of their way to make your stay special. With a little update, this place could be a true standout again.
