Great spot to explore Melbourne. We found it safe to walk at night and close to all transport. Chinatown is just around the corner and the Chinabar Signature buffet is a real treat. Great shopping is only a few blocks away.

More modern than I had expected. A great location, in the middle of the theatres and Chinatown, 5 mins from Parliament station and only 10-15 minutes to walk done to the lanes and Flinders. Great location for taxis or on foot to many local attractions. The local area has lots to eat; great cafes, restaurants and Chinese food is around the corner.

The beds are comfy even for single beds in the twin rooms. All that you would expect for a city trip and business hotel. I would return if I needed to be in the city, it is all you need for a night or two.

The only feedback is the lack of toiletries; No showergel, only soap and the noisy old Air con wall unit.

The staff at the reception and breakfast were the best. Absolutely polite and professional. The stay was faultless. Check out and check in was proficient and staff was always friendly with a smile. One of them went out of the way (sorry I didn’t ask for his name) to check on a colleague who was not answering his mobile and room phone. All my queries and constant checking were dealt with with a smile (and I did have quite few questions).

I thought the bathroom was a bit cramp but I was happy with the size of the bedroom and the views to the Parliament House and City.

Breakfast was just fantastic. Plenty of choices of items and the fruit juices was a change from the standard ones. Loved the smoothies. Loved that 3 newspapers were available.

Loved the green apples in the lobby. I had ½ price internet as a Priority Guest member.

Location is top notch. Restaurants, cafes, theatres and convenience shops were within seconds away.

I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Rydges is in a good location very close to China Town, shops and many places to eat. The reception staff are extremely helpful and welcoming and overall the atmosphere of the hotel is very upbeat. The rooms are very comfortable (if a little dated and somewhat noisy) and the breakfasts are good. Overall a very good choice for a visit for work or holiday.
