Top Kensington Hotel Reviews

The Fullerton Hotel Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"Centrally located"

Rydges Sydney Airport Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is a good hotel for Sydney airport. It is adjacent to the international terminal, and you can walk to the international terminal easily. If you are traveling through the domestic termina, you will need to take a free airport bus between terminals. It is not possible to walk between terminals. The hotel was clean and comfortabe. "

Hyatt Regency Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"The Hyatt could not have been better located for what I wanted to do. With an exit in the back right onto Darling Harbour and the many attractions there, including the tour boats, dining and other entertainment, and a short walk to just about every form of transport in Sydney, including busses to Bondi Beach, the L2/L3 to Circular Quay and the Opera House and Harbour Bridge, and the trains out of Town Hall or Wynyard. There wasn’t a single thing I wanted to do that I couldn’t walk to, or get public transport to. I didn’t have the best view, looking at a parking garage, but the other side should have had great views of Darling Harbour and the Saturday fireworks. If I had to be critical, there was a lot of light leakage from the hallway through the door, and it would have been nice if the dressers had a drawer into which I could have put my dirty clothes, but that is about the only fault I could find."
