We walked from the North Sydney rail station towing our bags and we were fine (I'm 79). The three night rate was appealing and as Seniors we had free breakfast. This was exceptional even if we had paid. Their secret is the cast iron containers on induction stove tops. The food is always HOT and a thousand hotels could learn... More

The Rydges North Sydney hotel is just slightly out of the way from the main areas of North Sydney located in McLaren Street. A ten minute walk will get you to the train station. A warning though; North Sydney "closes" down on a Sunday so there is very little to do there on that day. The room was a Quick... More

The current Weekend Package ($175 Bed, Breakfast and Parking) is so popular I’m delighted you were able to take advantage for a short break. It was very pleasing to read your kind remarks regarding the refurbishment which I have shared with all concerned. It really helps to keep the team focused and motivated thanks again!!

I was staying here for a forum nearby. The only real downside with the hotel is that it's a bit up a hill, not that convenient for me as I was getting over an operation when I was there. The rooms are great, the views are fantastic, and the staff really outdid themselves. I am noisephobic and it was quiet!!!... More

Have stayed here before as I'm a Rydges member which means you get the best rate and don't have to pay for parking which makes it a reasonable price to stay in Sydney.Room was very clean although the bathroom is looking a bit...

I chose Rydges because I have stayed with them before at Rydges Parramatta and also for the package they offered which included buffet breakfast for 2 and free parking.

This motel is great! It's in a wonderful setting and great position (close to Luna Park only 15 minute walk with kids) and the one bedroom harbour view apartment we had was very very comfortable.
