This hotel is very dated and aged. The beds which are their selling point were soft and old. The sheets were so small they did not even cover the mattress which we then had to lie directly on. Not hygenic at all. The room wasnt clean and was filled with old miss-matched furniture. The appliances were old and broken. The... more

We stayed at Rydges during our trip to Melbourne for the Australian Open, the Rydges is really at an excellent location for any event at Melbourne Park or the MCG - its just down the road (Exhibition St goes onto Batman Ave)! The building is a bit older, but especially the lobby and our room (main area) look nice. The... more

The hotel itself is probably a 60s building that's been reconditioned, the lobby is very smart but the rooms themselves could do with a little more tarting up but this is the only criticism I would make. The rooms are large and the location is good for the main shopping areas and the bars, though north of the hotel does... more

We stayed at the Rydges despite the negative comments on tripadvisor but we should have listened to them. Our first room was a nightmare - there was mold all over the bath tube and on the ceiling. This should not happen in any hotel despite the star ranking. The actual room was also not in a very good state -... more

I was a bit wary after reading some of the reviews but have to say, was a good stay and very good value for money. Very central-just a 2 minute walk to Princess Theatre - was a slight hiccup with the package and the bar man tried to say we could only have wine as part of the "Jersey Boys"... more

I stayed for 3Nights at this hotel during a quick getaway from Brizzie. The hotel entrance is most non impressive along a busy street opposite the rear end of Chinatown street. We got a decent room (A$ 110) for the price which had a small desk, two single beds and a small bath ( a lil too cramped). No complaints... more

A pretty good hotel. Above my average experience in this price range.It's a nice place to stay, in a great spot - well within walking distance to everything. Room was big and confortable. My only complaint was the A/C.The night we decide to have dinner downstairs in LOCANDA . We were surprised to see how nice is the restaurant ,despite... more

Stayed at Rydges Melbourne for one week. I decided to book at Rydges Melbourne after having a pleasent experience at Rydges in Perth. The stay was pleasant, and was enjoyable. We had in room breakfast one morning, which was delicious, and warm. There were a few problems with the room and hotel in general. The room first: the aircon needs... more

Stayed at the Rydges for several nights. The first night, the air conditioner's compressor regular cycle was so noisy that I woke up periodically throughout the night. I am generally quite a heavy sleeper. After speaking to maintenance about the noise (they couldn't do anything about it) and then to reception, we were moved to a different floor with a... more
