Nothing good at Rydges Canberra. Entering the hotel, there was a strong smell of perfume, I think it came from the carpet. Wash it, instead of pouring litres of deodorant on top of it! Clean it properly. The morning after I woke up with a headache due to that smell. Absurd! At check-in we had to wait more than 20 minutes because the room wasn't ready yet. Not a good start! Old premises and dirty room, bathroom with mould in the shower wall tiles. Bed was comfy enough and clean. Kettle and small fridge were full of dust. Bar service: awful. Although we had breakfast included in our promotion, we decided to get something from the bar. It took them more than 10 minutes to bring us 1 long black coffee and 1 cappuccino. If you call that dirty black water coffee, you don't know what coffee really is. The only positive thing was the free undercover and secured parking. Well, free... It surely was included in the total price. Sorry but we won't be coming back anytime soon.

The staff were friendly and helpful and the pool and all the public areas were great. The building is looking pretty tired and in need of some TLC.

Upgrade was awesome by the first staff member. The room was fantastically massive. Kitchen is terribly outdated, constant fan that you can’t turn off and no towels in the swimming pool area. Breakfast buffet was actually nice although I was a little disappointed by the dinner prices especially when the menu doesn’t offer any kids meals? With three rooms booked between my family and I not one room had a phone. When using our own to speak to reception about the bathrooms flooding with water because of terrible engineering I’m imagining, we were on hold for so long we hung up! There were no rude staff; in fact, each and every one of them were all smiles. I maybe would stay again if I were stuck but I’d keep in mind to ask them beforehand for everything that was missing; including basic soaps, cups and maybe more than 3 towels for 4 people.
