Fantastic service and very comfortable room. Bath is a great size for a good soak. Was also a nice surprise they were offering Easter activities over the Easter weekend, and the entrance was really nicely decorated for Easter. We ordered room service one night and it was fast delivery and good quality food. Overall we were very impressed and would happily stay here for a city getaway weekend again.
Enjoyed the rooms at the Rydges, very comfortable bed, very quiet and slept very well. Very convenient to Her Majesty’s theatre where we were seeing a show and close to Chinatown for lots of food options.
There was barely any utensils in the room such as a plate or knife or a decent wine glass only 2 tumblers supplied. There was only one facewasher in the bathroom for 2 people. Room was like a matchbox and you could not easily reach light switches on either side of the bed. No toothbrush or any extras supplied in the bathroom except for a showercap. Pillows were terrible. All in all for the price expected more.
My first stay at The Rydges. Staff very helpful and friendly. Room very comfortable. Dining options both at the hotel and locally, very convenient.
Thought music in lobby was a bit loud!!
Thank you for an enjoyable experience.
Travelling with friends for a weekend in the city to catch a couple of shows. Was a great place to stay - convenient to everything including shopping, transport, food options and to the theatres we were there for.
We enjoyed our stay, but was disappointed that after booking for 3 adults I had to pay extra to get a rollout bed. Aside from that, everything else was great.
