We had an overnight stay. We got the train from the domestic airport and easy walk to the hotel. Sydney brewery was a nice surprise for dinner and buffet breakfast the next morning was wonderful. We were able to sneak in a quick train trip to circular quay and the harbour before checking out the next morning and walking to the station to get the train to Perth. Very comfortable room and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

We arrived from the cruise port over 3 hrs ahead of 2pm check in but was told a room was ready and no extra charge. The location was a 5 minute walk to all public transportation. Buffet Breakfast was good but found the price high.

Our designated room was a bit of a letdown this time. The TV was not working and the room had not been cleaned properly, there was a bobby pin on the floor and some other debris along with the dust on the horizontal surfaces. We were moved to another room with no fuss, so the service was excellent.

The Rydges property was an enjoyable stay, but the room rate of $399 taxes (total $438) was not justified. All services and facilities were good, but did not justify the room rate. In future I will book another option. The surrounding neighborhood is less than desirable in that the streetscape was dirty, footpaths damaged and unsafe and too many undesireable people just haning around.
