We stayed here recently on a whim, and were happy with our experience. The room was a little small, and the "harbour view" was more of a glimpse, but it served its purpose. The room service we ordered was not great, it was really average for the price and I wish we'd ordered in instead, but breakfast was really great.... More

Rydges North Sydney is one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in. To begin with, the hallways and room have terrible lighting, are dingy, marked up and worn. My room itself was clean but the bed was lumpy and the sheets were itchy. The bathroom towels were like sandpaper. The bathroom itself was horrible. There were large rust... More

Decent hotel for brief stays in North Sydney. Have stayed there multiple times and will continue to do so would be nice to have better Wi-Fi. The breakfast selection is always great with heaps of variety not too sure about the fruit shots though!

I stayed here Mon-Fri for three consecutive weeks. Rooms were average but that was ok, bathrooms need renovating. Cleaners do not clean bathrooms daily which is not satisfactory nor pleasant when you are sharing a room! Coffee and tea was not replaced daily either. The third week I stayed was the absolute worst - for 2 nights in a row... More

We decided to take our grandchildren to Taronga Zoo so we used the special package that Rydges North Sydney has on offer. Attractive price and good value for money: a suite with our own bedroom and sofa beds for the children in the lounge room, parking and breakfast - all included.

I stayed here a couple of times in the last six months for work and found it a perfectly nice hotel in a nice part of town. The rooms are nicely furnished, and are quite quiet. The bathrooms are bit dated with showers over the bath - they work perfectly well and are nice and clean, but for the price... More
