We stayed at Rydges Cronulla a few weeks ago, and I felt compelled to say what a fabulous stay we had! The staff were so friendly and professional, and the food was just amazing. Unfortunately the weather wasn't the best, however the staff made sure we were well entertained, and always offered us plenty to do. Special thanks for the... More

Look, this is a difficult place to review. We start with the preface. It has to be scaled for what it is and where it is. Scale it the same way you would a sophisticated CBD hotel and it would fail. But put it, where it is...in "The Shire", by a beach and it must be lifted! Sooo read the... More

Thank you for your wonderful review. We certainly do have some great view from our balconies. Our staff here at Rydges Cronulla, are exactly how you described. Being a beach location they are relaxed in appearance however very proud of the job they do and make sure they do it right. I do hope next time you’re in town you... More

The hotel has friendly and helpful staff. The lobby, bar and restaurant are nicely decorated and comfortable. We did not use the pool and spa area but from the view of our hotel room it looked well maintained and with comfortable deck chairs. The room (queen bed with ocean view) was large with a nice balcony and two comfortable lounge... More

Although the location is good and the service was adequate, the room needs to be gutted and completely renovated. Filthy carpet (still wet from a red wine spill), pitted tiles in the bathroom and grotty balcony. As I said in the title, the bed is very good and I had a good night sleep, even though drunkards were yelling our... More

After reading some ordinary reviews, we were pleasantly surprised with this hotel. The service was above average, with all people we encountered, including the cleaners, making a special effort to make us feel welcome. The views were great, as was the room size, spa and bed comfort. The bathroom and furnishings were a little dated and tried-looking, which is the... More

Thank you for taking time to review our hotel. As breakfast is the most important meal of the day, we take it extremely seriously. We have worked hard in presenting the buffet in a new and fun way, as we believe you eat with your eyes. I will make sure to pass on your comment top our food and beverage... More

My second time back at Rydges, after a stay in 2008. Since then, it doesn't seem as though much has changed. To sum up the positives: a beautiful view out over Cronulla's beaches. A very comfortable, if slightly small bed. Great buffet breakfast. The pool area looked pretty nice, although we didn't take any advantage of it because it was... More

Thank you for taking time to review our hotel. We are currently working on updating our decor throughout the hotel, along with the recent upgrade of our Bar and Restaurant Mundo Latin Grill and Tapas. We are planning on having our carpets changed later this year, followed by and upgrade to the bathrooms. More

Rydges is a no frills hotel right on the beach in central Cronulla. The location is great. Our room was an ocean view room and close enough to see and hear the waves breaking on the beach. Easy walking distance to shops and plenty of fantastic restaurants. Our room had simple food preparation facilities. The deck allows for a casual... More

Thank you for your review. We certainly are lucky to have a beach this close to the hotel. The sound of waves, are best experienced from our balconies early in the morning, especially this time of year. More

Staff are so friendly and helpful with every little question we had. They even signed us up to be a Rydges priority guest which was free and gave us 20% off food and beverage, so we had dinner at the hotel restaurant which we wouldn't normaly do, it was good value with lovely views. The bathrooms are a bit tired... More

Top spot... Right opposite the beach. The place is outdated... Bathrooms were really old which made them seem and feel untidy. The hotel bar is advertised as being a nice place to go for a drink but that's useless as it was booked out for a private function each time we went to use it... Was annoying as the function... More

Our location as you mentioned is great, walking distance from one of the best beaches in Cronulla. In regards to the bar being booked for a private function, it is the first time we have done that in the last two years since Mundo Latin Grill and Tapas had been opened. Originally the group booked for well over 100 people,... More
