Would stay again!
Staying at Rydges was a delightful experience - easy check in & our room was ready early & allowed a later check out. The room was cosy & bed really comfortable. We stopped in for cocktails at the pool bar in the evening which we thoroughly enjoyed.

Due to surrounding road works very difficult to get to the property. Their new IT system is not functioning properly resulting in a 1 hour wait for room service meal to arrive and it was cold. Took 45 minutes to get my valet parked vehicle up to reception

Very well located along Southbank with all it has to offer. Biggest issue for us was that we had told the hotel it was for 3 adults, however the pull out bed wasn't made up, and there was a pair of socks and a hairbrush left inside the bed. For the price paid, this didn't leave a great impression.
