My husband and I spent three nights in this hotel after taking a 'Mystery Stay' on the 'needitnow' website. We couldnt' have been happier. The room was wonderful and the service from all staff - in particular your Concierge was fantastic. The value Dinner meal deal ($25 per head for two courses) was amazing value with top class cuisine. The... more

Brilliant location located in centre of world square close to everything! Room was cosy, comfortable and clean. The bed is the best thing in the world. Never had such a good sleep in my life. Now I know why they call them dream beds! I would stay here just to sleep in that bed again. Supermarket and restaurants at your... more

We have just returned from 5 nights at this hotel & I feel compelled to alert other travellers to our experience. Positives: Central location Amazing 'dream bed' Friendly housekeeping & executive lounge staff Negatives: Extremely surly & rude check in (at priority counter). Pre payment of our entire stay was demanded there & then & when I innocently queried this,... more

We had an exceptional stay and must thank everyone who helped us including the concierge reception and delightful Kara Conroy who was great and gave us that extra special treatment in making our stay the best of all of the hotels we stayed in Australia. Worth pre registering (free) as a Priority Member for extra benefits including a later check... more

Rydges World Square is a perfect base for touring Sydney: from here you're never far from anything by foot (which is the best way to see the City) - Museum metro station 2min, Darling Harbour 10min, Hyde Park 5min, The Rocks & Opera House 20min. It's actually smack bang in the centre of the Japanese & Korean districts, which is... more

You are right in the fact that our guests can leave the car behind when they visit Rydges World Square. Being centrally located definitely allows you the chance to put on your walking shoes to see the sights, not to mention the different cuisines available throughout the area. Unfortunately the sacrifice we make for being in such a great location...

This was my first time staying at Rydges World Square. Great hotel, location is excellent, walking distance to most place, has a nightlife... Bar has an open beer garden which is nice and relaxing. Close to train stations, basically in the heart of the city which makes it nice and easy for shopping or eating out. Not far from the... more

Three nights would have given plenty of time to enjoy what Rydges World Square has to offer. I’m happy to hear you had time to unwind and relax in our Beer Garden. We have now installed heaters to keep our guests warm in the winter months while they sit down and enjoy a few well deserved beverages. My apologies for...

I booked on-line and if you obtain a Priority Guest card if entitles you to a discount off the on-line rack rate. When again in Sydney I will happily return to stay at the Hotel. The room was spotlessly clear and well appointed. I found that the Hotel was within 200 meters of the George St., Cinema area of Sydney... more

We booked one Single and one Double Bed Room (Room 1514) at AUD143.20 (promotion rate) through the hotel's website. Email communications were great and the staff were friendly and answered all my enquiries. The location is very good, walking distance to Darling Harbour, China Town, Sydney Tower, railway stations, etc. Also many shops, cafes and restarants around. Car is not... more
