This is my usual business hotel when in Sydney. I like the location in Pitt St above the World Square shopping area and food court. It is close to restaurants (mostly Asian) pubs and coffee shops. It's a short walk to Chinatown and Darling Harbour. It's bit further to the main CBD shopping area and further again to the harbour... More

We really love the location of this hotel. Tonnes of shops and restaurants nearby to explore! Chinatown, Darling Harbour and public transport are just within walking distance. Beds and blankets were superbly comfy for winter and bathrooms were clean! The hotel could try and improve on the lighting though, we find the room quite dim. Overall, it's a very value-for-money...

Good : Very comfortable king bed and very large room. Bathroom clean and had separate shower and bath (I personally hate showers over baths). Staff were polite and friendly. Bad : that we had to leave so early the next morning and couldn't take advantage of the late 11am checkout. This is in a busy part of Sydney and the... More

I don't like the location because the neighborhood is dirty and unless you like eating Chinese every day for lunch and dinner, you are out of luck with dining options. But the hotel itself is quite nice and provides good value by Sydney standards. They often have last minute deals on the Rydges website, which makes it even sweeter. The... More

I have stayed here twice and both times have been very pleased especially with the location. Close to the train station, monorail, food hall, shops, and the hotel itself was very nice....Great Bar with a decent bar menu. The 'sliders' are to die for! I requested to get in a room early and they kindly accommodated me.

Very average hotel, great location and non friendly staff, small rooms with a very high rate, simply speaking it is definitely not a four stars hotel. You will be charged for everything, wi fi, parking, local call. You can pay little more and be in a much better hotel close to the harbor. I don’t believe how this hotel managed... More
