We booked to stay 3 nights at this hotel. Check in went smoothly and the room seemed clean and quite nice. The first problem was everytime we turned on the on the air conditioning, it gave a loud rattling / banging noise for about 30 second, but eventually worked, until the 3rd night when it apparently "burnt out", so didn't... more

I booked this hotel based on my friend's recommendation. Cost me A$179 per night. We get a nice clean and comfortable room, although a bit small and no view even on 28th floor. We found the service to be very good and friendly. They are very helpful to our 'tourist' questions especially the concierge. We didn't eat in the hotel... more

Rydges hotel should take pride in their excellent customer service. I was on my way to the hotel, I got lost in the city trying to find the hotel. The hotel worker stayed on the phone giving me street for street directions to get to the hotel. I parked in the wrong carpark, the workers moved my car for me... more

Hotel is in a great location - short walk to Darling Harbour, shops, restaurants etc. Building and rooms are extremely tired thought and the whole place needs a make-over. The carpets are stained and the interior is very poorly maintained. The buffet lunch was nice, but room service meal was apalling and once done tray and leftovers sat in the... more

A carton of fresh milk in the fridge for complimentary tea/coffee - none of... more

Also the staff at the reception lie a lot. We came to the hotel at 1300 Hrs and enquired if our 2 rooms were avaiable. Only... more

I booked an Executive One Bedroom King Suite and it was better than I had imagined. The second bathroom was huge, but the ensuite was big enough to live out of. The lounge was spacious, the room was perfectly clean, the staff were lovely, and the valet parking was quick and easy. I have stayed at a few Rydges hotels... more

We stayed at Rydges World Square when we attended a friend's wedding down in Sydney. We picked this hotel because it was on a special rate (We stayed over the weekend at $180AUD per night, with velvet parking and buffet breakfast each morning, in a king's room), and because the hotel is situated at the centre of the city, central... more

My partner and I stayed at Rydges for our 2nd anniversary this w/e for a night! We booked over the phone through the Rydges booking line. I asked for one of the better rooms and was put in the executive business suite. I asked if this included parking or breakfast and was told it didn't and therefore paid $20 pp... more
