Rydges Australia Square has recently been refitted from the old Tank Stream Hotel. It is modern, clean and the staff were very helpful. The check in process was done online but easy to manage. There is a restaurant with good dinner options. We enjoyed dinner there. They have breakfast available plus a cafe that doubles as a bar at night. Such a great central location and close to Wynyard train station. I stayed in a twin room. The room is small but comfortable and nice and modern as it has just been done up. We had a room with a window facing the street. There are also rooms that are centrally located that face an internal void.

Very nice stay at The Rydges. The location was wonderful, lots of restaurants and shopping close by.The rooms were very clean,a bit on the small side but it didn’t bother us we were there to shower and sleep. We had the breakfast option and it was very good, lots to choose from.Would not hesitate to stay there again.

Leaving was the best part. Even then the taxi I booked the day before, was given to someone else! The hotel had changed it's name, which was not communicated to me. And when I called the hotel, it gave me options on the phone. And when I chosed one the line went dead. I ended up staying somewhere else. This is a very poor service. When a hotel changes its name, all customers booked there should be made aware immediately, though in my case I was not! Why?
