Probably won't stay again....

Goods: Location is very good. Staff are nice and polite. Bads: Shower head kept falling off the wall whilst having a shower. The AC in the room was broken since checking in. We've asked the reception to fix it. They said they'd send someone to fix it, but they never did. It was so hot throughout the stay and we couldn't sleep much. One of the lists were under maintenance the entire time, and had to go up and down the stairs multiple times.

Second time I have been here

Good stay, second tiome been here, pls note I am in a superior room, so can only comment on that. Well located, my room quiet with modified "double glazing" noise seals. My room huge. Brekky incl for me which was very adequate (i don't eat much). Just be aware there is much confusion between Rydges World Square (been there for ages) and rydges Darling Harbour apartments (name change recently). The other one is on same Liverpool street 400 yards away. This hotel now has Rydges sign outside and the google pic finally changed, but taxis and limos still go to wrong one. minor annoyance. Bit of a slow-moving staff member would not believe anyone, that the night door was not working. It appears the staff release switch is hidden in some weirdo position as it takes ages to get her to open the damn thing, then she blames the customer for "doing it wrong". I may have finally convinced her, but really if she took the effort to roll out the front and check it, t'would be resolved quickly. I am guessing the door glass will be broken soon as other men were doing what I was doing . Rattling it harder and harder as noone appears , or ignores you ringing the bell.

Great Hotel

We stayed in the Superior Studio was very roomy and had a balcony that we used a bit. Nice modern decor. Hotel is so central to George St where the tram runs down to Circular Square & town hall where the train station is. Also 5 min walk to Darling harbour. Supermarket also couple of minutes walk up the road. We would definitely stay again..

Reception and staff all good and friendly. The accommodation was large but quite poorly stocked. Only one chair to use as a dining chair and this was an 'office chair'. The did when requested provide another chair. No cooking pots were in the accommodation. Requested a non slip shower mat - not available. This is definitely not the place to stay if you want to self cater. Very noisy from large extractor fans outside windows. Definitely disappointing.

The apartment was very dated, it was like housing commission met motel. The plumbing in both bathrooms has a problem, the smell was so bad we had to keep the doors closed as it seeped into the rest of the unit. Small inconveniences like no working power point in the ensuite, no room information to show there were dining options or check out times etc, no parking, all made this over priced stay extremely disappointing.

Property was in the perfect location for what we required access to. With the kitchen in our unit, we were able to make breakfast and coffee daily without the need to ventuee out ir use the buffet restaurant (saving us some $$$). However, a toaster would have been a perfect addition to the kettle. The pool and spa had great opening hours, a perfect way to start or end the day. However, it appeared that the pool area wasnt regularly cleaned (we stayed 4 nights and the same bloody tissues sat at the pool side for the duration of our stay), so a little off putting. Although one of the elevators was out of order (clearly sign posted), it just meant a few extra minute's waiting was required or access via the stairway. Staff were friendly and helpful, and stored our luggae away upon check out as we had a late night flight, allowing us to freely explore the city on our last day. Overall, a great place to stay, with comfortable beds and a clean room. Would not hesitate to stay again for future visits.
