Rydges was close to the RBWH hospital where I had an appointment which I could walk to within 10 minutes. Restaurants were also close by and access to Roma Street station was just a 10 minute taxi ride. The staff were very helpful. Overall a good experience.

Nice hotel and great for a family vacay with the ability to have 3 beds in a room for adults and 2 kids. Location has plenty of good restaurants around and not a far walk into the main part of fortitude valley. Breakfasts were very good with plenty of options.

Nice rooms, shower was a bit tricky in terms of finding the hot water setting, we kept having random casts to our tv when we were watching it. Great food options within walking distance including Bar Gusto that you can charge to your hotel account. Overall a great stay

Property is very close to a number of restaurants and within walking distance to Fortitude Valley. The room was a good size. The bed was comfortable but the pillows were not good. Absolutely hate the way the beds are made up with the sheets either side of the comforter, which smelt. Staff were pleasant and efficient.

Easy parking, nice area, modern rooms, comfy beds. Our room was closest to the elevator but it was so nice and quiet! It would have been nice to have a toilet brush and a soap dispenser or soap holder next to the bathroom sink (there was bar soap but no soap holder). Note that there were liquid dispensers with nice smelling body wash, shampoo & conditioner in the shower, which was great.
