We booked this property particularly because it had a heated pool and spa foe the kids. They were so excited for a spa only to be told on checkin the spa was out of order and the pool couldnt be heated. We could have stayed somewhere else $100 cheaper. We should have been informed prior to our arrival that these facilities werent available or offered a discount for our stay.

This property was clean and quiet. Very convenient to the Capitol Theatre and transport to all areas of Sydney. Could also walk to many places. Only problem was on checkin. It was slow and cumbersome, although we did receive complimentary drinks for the wait. Happy to recommend to other travellers.

Great accommodation
Rydges Sydney Central was a lovely place to stay overnight. Everything you need and it even had its own cinema to watch a Christmas movie. The hotel rooms have plenty of space and there’s a tea/coffee room you can use to heat up food in the microwave and sit down to watch tv in quietness. The buffet breakfast is very good and there’s a small gym, nice indoor swimming pool and sauna.

Great location by the central station and walkable to Chinatown and darling harbor. Lots of good cafes and restaurants nearby. Friendly, accommodating staff, the pool and spa pool were quiet and relaxing. Our room was comfortable and we never heard any noise from the hall or street. I’ve stayed at this hotel a few times and it’s always great.

Great location. Shopping, restaurant, sydney harbour ect are in walking distance. However it wasn't quit due to being close to the train station and it is in the city. Facility was great. However, the technology required an update, i.e., tv dont include streaming services.
