My wife and I only stayed one night. this was on a Friday night, we didn't attempt to park in the hotels security carpark as we had a 4x4 vehicle and had read comment by someone else with 4x4 vehicle who couldn't fit in due to height restrictions, so we parked across the road, no problem as there were heaps... more

After reading some of these reviews, after we`d booked, I was pleasantly surprised to find a clean and modern room. Yes there was traffic noise but it didn`t keep us awake as it tailed off at night. Location was excellent for us as we had arrived by train. (2 mins walk) and all we wanted e.g. Mall. restaurants and seafront... more

We purchased some reasonably priced vouchers when Rydges were having a sale and decided to spend Easter in Wollongong. We arrived at the hotel and was presently surprised by the entrance and foyer. The receptionist was very pleasant. We were unable to park our 4WD in the undercover parking as it was too high - be warned - so our... more

We stayed in this hotel over the weekend and did'nt come across these reviews until after we had left. Thats lucky as we could have been given a real bum stear. The hotel is fine, sure it's a little old and sure, it's not in the best part of town. But the staff were fantastic and the room and the... more

I thought staying at the Rydges you would expect a certain standard.....well obviously not. Our room was not clean and was very old and tired. The staff were very nice but that wasn't enough for me. There were cigarette butts on our balcony and it was covered in dirt. There were hairs all over the bathroom floor and it was... more

I actually thought Rydges was supposed to be 4.5 star so we disappointed when it seemed more like 3 star at best. Complaints: 1. We paid for parking when we arrived, yet when we returned that night the carpark was full so we had to park outside. When we told staff, they took it off the bill but didn't apologise.... more

It's a shame we only find out about these reviews AFTER we booked Rydges for 1 night stay. Oh well ! See if all those reviews are fair --- they are ! Totally ! First there was no parking space left at the hotel ( it was a quiet weekday ) and was told to find our own parking (... more

Not what we would call 4 stars DIRTY UNDERWEAR left under bed TOE NAIL clippings on the floor as well as dead cockroaches. Next time we will take the 3 or maybe even 2 star and eat breakfast at Macdonalds. Will make sure we spread the news. Sorry we never thought to take photos. Renee and Nicole more

The room I had was very spacious and big, however the bathroom was gross. As we were only staying for the night, none of my travelling companions took a shower, as the bathtub had yellow stains... we did not want to be stepping in with our bare feet!! more
