We were travelling home from Nowra and decided last minute to stay at the Rydges hotel. What a great choice. Check in was quick and efficient and also explaining that, as we had just walked in (10.30am) there may be no rooms available to check into as they were still cleaning but there was one free, it might have had...

I stayed here for a Conference back in November 2012. I was very impressed with the Hotel. As a long-time Rydges member, I have stayed in many Rydges Hotels around Australia and this is by far equal best with the Rydges on Swanston in Melbourne. The function facilities were outstanding, along with the service of the Staff. The bar and... More

Stayed here for conference . Loved the bar area with low lighting and cosy fire. The rooms though small had great view from a little balcony. Bathrooms tiny and the water pressure is very poor but at least it stays hot! Breakfast was lovely and the restaurant basic in its menu but the food was good. Staff were efficient and... More

There are 3 things i need when travelling, a comfortable bed, a hot shower and a satisfying meal. We stayed just one night on our way to the ski fields. Very nicely located and very busy with conference folk around. The bed was great, the roll away was comfortable. The food was terrific in the restaurant, the staff were very... More

Well positioned for touring around the lake and short walk into the central shopping district. We walked everywhere, even as far as the glassworks and Marnika. We joined the Rydges loyalty program when we booked online and got a discount. I requested a room with a view of the Lake and it not be noisy. We were given a good... More

Overall I was happy with the hotel, the restaurant I will review separately. The room is a reasonable size, the bed comfortable, pillows very soft (overly soft for me). I was on the 5th floor this time, so there was a reasonable view from the balcony. The heater in the room worked well, but I was surprised given the weather... More

Decent hotel in general but you could hear everything the neighbours were doing. I was back in the afternoon changing clothes while my neighbours loudly enjoyed themselves. Nice staff in the bar/restaurant. Ok food.

Stayed during the week of ANZAC day and this hotel provided all that was needed for a short break. Check in and check out were both very quick and organised and this was the only contact we had with any staff. Not rude but not overly friendly either. There was additional costs added to the bill as an error which... More

Canberra is a great place to visit for ANZAC Day. The War Memorial provides a perfect backdrop for Dawn Service: a solemn, dignified presence in front of which the crowd remembers the sadness and sacrifice of war. And the crowds seem to be growing each year. This year, Canberra’s centenary, the crowds filled the pre-dawn avenues of ANZAC Parade walking... More

I stayed at Rydges lakeside for 3 nights to attend a conference at the convention centre. Central location and the parking was good value at $12/d. Room was really nice and the king bed was very comfortable (2 singles together). Room service was efficient, and the pasta was delicious. Disappointed with the cardio room - 1 treadmill and 1 bike;... More

With great access to the lake for running, walking and cycling, our Cardio Room is really only a ‘wet-weather option’ or space to do a light workout and core work. We are lucky to have both ANU Sport’s Fitness Centre and Canberra Olympic Pool within easy walking distance for those requiring a full service gym. Sorry you were disappointed, Tanollie... More
