10/10 Excellent
"The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The location was perfect, basically next door to north Sydney train station to go anywhere in the city (2 mins walk). The food was lovely and the fact that you could order it delivered to your room for 5 aus$ was brilliant. The order sheet for breakfast, so you could order what you wanted the night before before, is a great idea. The superking bed was really comfy and guaranteed a good nights sleep. Last but not least, the views are to die for. Especially at night, when harbour bridge and the city are all lit up, it was amazing. No wonder the hotel is called VIEW. If we ever come back to Australia, this will definitely be my hotel of choice."
