Everything was nice. The room was well appointed but the bathroom is very aged. Definitely requires an upgrade compared to other hotel in the area for rooms the same price.
Arrived early and asked if any chance of early access to room. Told room was ready but would have to pay $50 extra to check in early or $30 in an hours time. Declined. Went to check bags in to be held at concierge who then delivered them straight to room. Haven’t been charged for early check in before.
Room was cleaned next day while we were out but they did not take away dirty cups and glasses and provide clean ones.
One lift not working so long wait each day.
Location was excellent, very close to Town Hall.
A warm welcome from a friendly and cheerful reception was a good start to our stay in this centrally located hotel. The room was clean and comfortable. The hotel lobby was spacious and had a bar and a restaurant. We had dinner at the restaurant and were pleasantly surprised by the attentive friendly service and tasty dishes. The hotel is well located with public transport close by and a wide selection of restaurants nearby, Chinatown, the Capitol Thearte and the Central Railway station are all within walking distance.

Enjoyed our short stay
It's walking distance to a lot of things that we were there for
Thank you
Truly one of the most spectacular hotels l've ever stayed with. Unbelievably comfy beds, incredible food, wonderful service, pretty rooms and nice deep bath all for excellent price compared to other high end hotels. Magnificent stay, thank you all at Rydges!
Central location. Loved that they had luggage storage since we arrived very early after a Cruise. The staff was friendly and helpful. Quick check-in and check-out. Room was big and spacious, comfortable with double beds. I would absolutely stay here again.
