Upon arrival (3 night stay) we were greated by the friendly receptionist who told us about the Rydges Priority Guest membership which entitled us to late check out and discounts. My husband signed up imediately and we arranged for a late check out. Which was perfect as our return flight wasn't until later on in the afternoon. The room was... more

My boyfriend and i decided to stay here for my 20th birthday, we found a great deal on wotif and it was walking distance to everything. AT nights be careful walking around here, we felt unsafe walking out for dinner so we decided to stay in which i say is very expensive. My boyfriend ordered the wagyu beef ( $50... more

I was disappointed to hear you and your boyfriend did not enjoy your stay with us. The hustle and bustle of the area, as part of the World Square precinct and CBD can take many by surprise, however, as you can see by a lot of our historical posts there are a lot of positive points to be seen by...

We were thrilled with our stay at Rydges World Square and do recommend it. We booked through their own web site and got an executive floor room for two nights (a Saturday and Sunday) for $225 AUD average. We thought this was a great rate for an ‘Executive King’ room that gives the benefit of a light breakfast and drinks... more

Dear Binddon, Thank you for your glowing report on Trip Advisor! It is a pleasure to hear you enjoyed your stay with us, as much as we did looking after you and you enjoyed our new ‘Dream Beds’ – we believe them to be very comfy too! The Executive Lounge has just been through refurbishment, so I am glad you...

Rydges World Square is a fantastic hotel. We had absolutely no trouble our entire stay. The concierge and check-in staff were friendly, polite and informative. The rooms were immaculate, and the bath was big enough for my partner, who is over 6ft, to have a nice relaxing bath in! The dream beds gave me the best sleep I've had in... more

Hi. Got to the hotel fine, took a taxi from the airport easily. Got to the hotel before the check in time of 2pm and they didnt have a room but looked after our bags for us. We came back around 1pm to try and they had a room ready for us with our bags already up there. The room... more

Came back to stay for another two nights and requested for a better room than what we had stayed in last time, The receptionist by the name (I believe Jimmy, I cannot recall), told me that the booking was done through Expedia and I need to either rebook the room or pay another US$100 per night. Before getting upset I... more

We booked for a 3 night stay in an executive King room, and were very satisfied with the room. The added bonus was access to the executive club with an excellent complimentary breakfast served there and complimentary drinks and canapes in the evening. The staff could not be faulted in their efforts to make our stay comfortable. The location of... more

My partner and I stayed here in December 2008 and again in January 2009 when my family came to visit. We were impressed with our stay both times. The hotel has a great location within walking distance of many attractions, including Darling Harbour and Chinatown, and it is within a block of the Museum train station.

We were very pleasant surprised with Rydges World Square from our first impression upon entering the reception area. Our King Executive room was very comfortable, quiet and we found the mini bar prices very comparable. We especially enjoyed relaxing in the comfy chairs at the bar at the end of a long day. It was very convenient especially to the... more
