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.

Unfortunately, we were in a room next to a service lift which was very noisy and also had a really dirty AC vent that caused us respiratory issues when sleeping in the room. The staff were so wonderful and understanding and moved us immediately to another room and upgraded us for our final night and we had a much better and quieter rest! Location is great for transport and dining options.

Great stay at Rydges central Sydney
We stayed here to celebrate our anniversary. Not only we were offered early and late check out, Rydges hotel went the extra mile to surprise us with a bottle of champagne! The hotel is in a good location close to everything. The room is spacious, clean and staff is helpful. Can't really fault it Thank you so much. You made our special day unforgettable.

Average stay for higher price
Staff are friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately the room we stayed in was pretty dated along with an ancient tv. The bathroom is really in need of some attention as the shower screen is basically non existent and allows water to flow all over the bathroom floor and the toilet seat is way too small and doesn’t correctly fit the existing toilet. Overall cleanliness of the bathroom wasn’t great with a used screw up tissue down the toilet and toilet seat left up like it had just been used. Thick dust hanging off mirror, windows don’t open or close but they have a constant breeze along with a breeze that seemed to plow from under the room door. The lifts are incredibly slow, better to walk but no stairwell in sight apart from ground floor to the 1st floor. Breakfast was included in our booking but was very average at best, all pastries stale and chewy, all eggs were snotty and undercooked, definately not worth the $30+ you’d have to pay. We had breakfast for 3 mornings hoping for an improvement each time but no such luck. For the price you pay I think there are better options however if you need access to central station then it’s an ideal location. Sydney brewery which is attached is really nice and must go if you’re around
