Dissapointed
I paid a premium to be there for new years eve , and was given a room facing a wall. Their add says parking avaliable ,when i got there was told its valet parking only at $55 a night so an extra $110 to the total . When I checked out I got sent an invoice for $120 so they charged me an extra $10 on the credit card they had on file. I was told they want a $100 fee held when checking in which is normal, but they held $101.50 on my card. So they charged me a fee for them to hold a deposit , I didnt get that back either. I would say to others looking for a hotel at south bank ,there are plenty of good hotels to choose from. Choose carefully

Rydges Southbank is in a fabulous location right behind the gorgeous Southbank river precinct. Our king suite was large and perfect for our family of 4. The bed was incredibly comfortable.
