Top Fort Denison Hotel Reviews

Four Seasons Hotel Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"It was nice size room. I liked that it had shades and then black out blinds which helped me to sleep a lot better. The bed was big for one person but that allowed me to move around a lot since I am a wild sleeper. It was very quiet which is important to me as a traveler. I do not want to hear anything in the next room and I did not. I used the gym multiple times and liked it. I really enjoyed the water dispenser which had various types of flavored waters. That was real cool. The location was in The Rocks area which meant that there were plenty of places to eat within walking distance."
