The distance to transport and city was manageable by the children and adults. There are some upgrades happening in the hotel - hopefully the pool and thr gym will see some upgrades too. The breakfast had a great selection of hot and cold food.

Great location and walkable to Darling Harbour, shopping and many tourists attractions. We did not use the swimming pool, but it looks ok. The room (superior queen queen studio) is clean and well maintained. The kitchen works great for us. It would be perfect if self serve laundry machines are available.

Great location for where I needed to go to the ICC theatre. Staff were nice and accommodating. Rooms were very clean and beds comfortable. Was a little disappointed , lots of rust in the pool area. Had trouble connecting to the chromecast even after following instructions provided.

Rydges Darling Square is conveniently located to public transport, Chinatown, Darling Harbour and Cockle Bay. It was a very comfortable hotel that offered a spacious room, comfortable bed and very good facilities. The staff were very quick to respond to requests we made of them. This is our second stay at the hotel and we would highly recommend it staying in Sydney.

I enjoyed our stay, friendly staff, good facilities and comfy beds. I wish it more obvious upon booking that there is no parking. Was not expecting to pay an additional $45 for parking off-site and walking with our luggage. There were some minor cleaning issues… hair in bathroom, kitchen dusty but otherwise good. Ducted air con didn’t seem to work well and even on lowest setting room still quite hot. Otherwise I enjoyed our stay!

Great location, close to Chinatown, Darling Harbour and George St. Lots of dining options close by. The Standard Apartment we stayed in was getting a bit dated, although clean and serviceable (Rm 606). However the air conditioner filter was caked in dust and didn't look like it has been cleaned in a while. This was rectified once we advised reception. The air conditioner itself didn't seem to cool the room down too. We made use of the swimming pool and spa, which were nice to have. I'd recommend the property, but perhaps a renovated Superior Apartment, if the budget allows
