I am really sorry for the inconvenience caused with your bookings. I will chase this up myself, but please don’t let this discourage you from coming back. I am glad the team in the restaurant took good care of you though. Let me know when you are coming back so we can make it up to you. Regards, Tish Nyar... More

That’s great, I am glad you had a wonderful stay with us. Our family and double double rooms are some of the most popular we have. Next time you are in town try our Seafood Banquet on a Friday or Saturday night Vincenzo would love to look after you! Regards, Tish Nyar General Manager More

Easy to find. Just next to the World Square stop for the Monorail. Easy access to many attractions from this point. Easy walk down to Darling Harbour and China Town the other way. Great customer service. Lots of food outlets or fine dining within. Posh rooms. My room had a shower for the disabled which was a flat floor with... More

Is well located near Chinatown - rooms are very good considering the price - one of the cheapest rates for a quality hotel in Sydney. The beds are very good. Front desk staff are aloof and unhelpful - everything is too much trouble and you can stand at the desk whilst they attend to other items of interest. Rooms on... More

Trip Advisor won't allow me to put in a date any earlier than June 2011 - our last stay was actually December 2010. Although the views are not much of anything, the location of this hotel more than makes up for this. Darling Harbour is less than a 10 minute walk away and if don't want to walk then take... More

We stayed at the Rydges for a long weekend Girls trip. The location is excellent for walking to shopping areas, darling harbour and catching the monorail.

I have stayed here on three separatre occassions for work in the past 12 months, the most recent trip last in May 2012. Let me start by saying that as far as CBD locations are concerned, the rydges is good value for money with rooms at $175 p/n, but certainly is not "luxury" as it is described. Overall the rooms...

As an old regular, this was one of the Rydges hotels I stayed at. If you have a room request, or one that you had stayed in prior, they will try and help you there. Here, try and get a room with the balcony, or an executive room on higher levels. The one bedroom is very large in comparison to... More
