Since we could not find any hotel within Sydney CBD (they're all fully booked), we were left with one choice: Capitol Square Hotel. I thought it's as funky as its surrounding, but it was a shocking experience. There's only one good point: great location. Full stop. Our room had twin beds. Both beds didn't have head board (but we could... More

This hotel was way below par, as soon as we entered the room we found carpet stains on the floor, a noticeably saggy bed, rundown and outdated furniture and a funky smell in the room. They provide only ONE key and it is literally a key not a swipe card per room Reception area extremely dirty and rundown. Receptionists very... More

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback regarding your stay at Capitol Square Hotel. It is important not to compare Capitol Square Hotel with any other Rydges Hotel, whilst Capitol Square and Rydges are affiliated, Capitol Square has its own character and charm different to that of any Rydges Hotel.
