We stayed just 1 night as we had a conference dinner to attend in Sydney. The location, service and comfort was terrific. Have stayed here before and will do again. No complaints at all and would recommend to others. Cost was reasonable and value for money.

Stayed here for a night. Not a memorable experience. Just average. Had a junior suite, which is always nice for the space, but what's the point if it overlooks an office block? Not ideally suited if you're a tourist.... its in the wrong area. Plenty of S.E. Asian restaurants in near vicinity as its on the perimeter of Chinatown. Circular... More

Myself and my 2 daughters stayed for one night. Unfortunately we were placed in a smokers room and the bed and pillows smelt of stale smoke odour. The shower was very good but the towels could be replaced as they were very worn. We did advise staff of smell on check out and they gave us a discount on parking.

I don't normaly write reviews but my experience at Rydges was that bad, I don't want it to happen to anyone else on there holidays.

Dear Ross W Thank you for your post. It is unfortunate your first TA post could not be of a more positive nature. I have looked into your booking and I can confirm the special 8.30pm arrival rate was booked. Due to the nature of our business, if the 8.30pm arrival is booked, we are not in a position to... More

Stayed for five nights whilst in Sydney for work. I had not stayed at this end of town before but the 15 minute walk each way to the workplace ( near Wynyard Station ) was pleasant enough.

Booked into a room for four (two double beds), because we wanted a good location and something a bit more upmarket then staying at a Backpackers, and Rydges was one of the only hotels that fit the bill (as we booked not long before our stay).

We stayed for 3 nights and loved the location for access to just about everything we needed in Sydney. The rooms were clean and bed was comfortable and it was not noisy even though it is right in the centre of Sydney. The staff were great from the front desk right down to restaurant and bars.

Great location. 2 bedrooms a plus, but if you are in the business of needing two bedrooms, chances are that you would also like a kitchen(ette). The 2 bedroom "family room" comes armed with only a fridge and a kettle, and a tiny table, so look elsewhere. Not really practical. We stayed one night at Rydges, and another night at... More

We are very fortunate to be in such a great location within Sydney’s CBD precinct. The room types we offer at Rydges World Square are not apartment style rooms, therefore we do not have the expected facilities of other apartment style hotels such as the Adina. Kind regards John McIlwain More
