Beds were comfortable and the room was quiet. Location was convenient for us, we went to a show at Her Majesty's Theatre which is literally across the road. Breakfast buffet was delicious, my teenage son left "full" - a rare occurrence these days! Check-in and out being digital feels a little less personal, but it is efficient, so... Would definitely stay again if we ever need to.

Ordered my coffee from the restaurant. Qantas crew members order after me. Qantas crew members got their coffee before mine. I get Rydges must have a contract with Qantas and it’s all about money however you made me feel not welcome. I mentioned this to reception who said the manager would contact me - they never did. This hotel has a lot of great things but the way I was treated I won’t be staying here again.

The bath was huge but not very comfortable to lay back in which was disappointing as it was the main reason we chose this room. Lounges in room could have been better. Very little options for allergens in room service menu as one of us is gluten free and the other cannot have dairy.

My partner and I stayed at the Rydges for two nights. The bed was immensely comfortable and the room was spacious and met all our needs. Newly renovated and clean and tidy. The service by staff, both at the concierge/check in/out desk was second to none. As we met housekeeping staff in the lift upon exiting for dinner, we alerted them to an issue with our ensuite basin plug. It was rectified by the time of our return. Overall, a wonderful, luxurious stay and we hope to return again sometime soon.
