Spacious and very clean room, really liked the coffee machine as opposed to just a kettle and instant coffee. The restaurant at the hotel is middle-eastern so it didn't have a lot of options for my kids. I would stay at this hotel again.

We paid for a presenter to stay and the review he gave was absolutely amazing, he said and I quote. “I was on the phone to my wife, who asked me, do you wish to continue talking? He looked at the bathroom and bed and said No”. He said he had 11hrs sleep. Thank you for making our quests stay memorable.

Great overnight stay

We had a great overnight stay during our road trip. The room is spacious with nice interior, bed is comfy & bathroom is clean & lux. As it was raining, it was very convenient to be able to have dinner at the Turkish restaurant. Helpful & friendly at hotel & restaurant. We enjoyed our short stay at Rydges Armidale.
