We enjoyed our five night stay. The location was great and the room was clean and comfortable. It was roomy compared to others we looked at in the same area. We would definitely stay again.
My husband and I got no sleep over the two nights we stayed.
Firstly, our room faced Pitt St and it was so noisy. I sleep with earplugs normally but I could still hear very clearly, the noise from emergency vehicles, people racing down the street or just people talking.
Secondly, our blind was stuck. It seemed like the window was left open (and perhaps why we could hear all the noise more so) but had this blind stuck closed, so we couldn’t open it to even see.
The buffet breakfast savoury options were not good. The Boiled sausages, hard bacon and scrambled eggs were unappetising. They use to do omelettes which saved the breakfasts from previous stays but they no longer do them.
This was my second stay at this hotel. I had a hiccup the first time I stayed with my family when the hotel knew the number of guests they needed to accommodated us, but gave us a room that could not fit everyone. In solution to that, said they would ‘upgrade me’ to a bigger room, only to pay $50 extra and saying I’m unlikely to return.
Hôtel well situated, walkable to darling Harbour and the city centre. Plenty of food options around.
The room was nice and big enough
The mattress was terribly sagging, not recommended if you have back pain
The area is very noisy at night mainly during the weekend, we heard cars and police chasing for a long time after midnight…
The breakfast was a buffet, with plenty of options to choose from
A good tourist class hotel in a great location. Room staff for very good. Desk staff good as well. I really like staying here when I am in Sydney. This time I was a little disappointed that they did not reply to my message via expedia about an early check-in. This meant that they only told me at the front desk that it cost an extra $50. Also when they told me, would give me any idea if they anticipated to have any rooms available otherwise. No intrinsic problem with being charged for an early check-in. I would have been happier about it if the hotel had responded to my message to give me a chance to plan my day. Also, other hotels have given some warning e.g. "The hotel is fully booked and quite a few people have asked for early check-in" or "You should be Ok by about 1pm, but I can't promise that" instead I got the poker-face and "otherwise check-in is at 3pm."
We have stayed at this Rydges two years ago and found it ideally located in Sydney. The rooms are nice and reasonably spacious, and housekeeping is generally good. We didn't have breakfast included this time and that proved expensive. Kaz's Cafe two doors up in Pitt St was good value if you don't want the full buffet. The hotel is still favoured by aircrews, so breakfast can be hectic. Staff are always nice. Only 2 lifts were working while we visited, but the staff seemed unaware and there were conferences at the time. Made for lengthy waits sometimes.
Our room, as always, was great. Comfortable bed, the room and bathroom clean and tidy.
The staff were excellent. Professional, polite and friendly.
The breakfast, however, not so great.
I chose a hash brown, bacon and scrabled eggs and it was all cold.
