“Great staff and location”

Unhappy_with_sandals

Tyler, TX

Jul 15, 2008

Great location and staff! Hotel located near bus stops, Monorail station, good shopping, and terrific restaurants. Front desk staff helped us get checked in 7 hours early which was a huge relief after a 15 hour flight from the States. Then Jeremy, with the Concierge Desk, spent lots of time helping us book dinner and tour reservations. The bed was... more

Also, a big thank you for mentioning Jeremy in our concierge team. It is always a morale booster to be recognised by our guests for doing a great job! I hope we...

“Good price for a city hotel”

worldwidekaren

Jul 12, 2008

This was a very reasonably priced and well located hotel, considering it's in one of the world's prime cities. We paid £320 for 5 nights in a comfortable room, with two double beds. My sister found hers so comfortable, she was tempted to stay there and leave seeing the Sydney Opera House for another day! It was possible to walk... more

You are exactly right about our location and thank you for joining Rydges PriorityGUEST where you do receive 50% off your internet and discounts like 20% food and beverage and late check...

“A decent hotel, but a little expensive”

chrissw

Watford, England

Jul 12, 2008

I stayed here on business for just over a week. My first impressions were positive; I had just arrived in the early morning on a flight from London and I was very pleased that the checkin was so quick and painless. The room itself, while not particularly spacious, was quite comfortable and very clean. One wouldn't say that it was... more

Dear Chris SW, Thank you for your post in regards to your stay. It is always great to hear positive comments from our guests and these have been passed onto our staff on your behalf. Thank you for the report! We have looked into the broken window in your room and this has been fixed. Thank you for this feedback...

“Loved the bed but......”

Karenstravels

Townsville, QLD

Jul 8, 2008

that is really the only complement I can give this hotel. It is no way a 4.5 to 5 star property. We booked an Executive King via their web site for 3 nights. Upon checking in I asked if I could upgrade this booking and was quoted “that we have been given a 1 bedroom king" so I was very... more

Dear Karenstravels, Thank you for your review. We are disappointed that your stay was not what you were expecting and do apologise for any inconvenience caused. During the weekend that you were staying the hotel, we understand that a few guests were disrupted in our Executive Lounge, and the hotel is currently working towards streamlining the process and making the...

“Who gave this place 5 stars?”

Krissishi

NSW

Jun 26, 2008

We booked a mystery 5 star hotel through wotif for our stay in Sydney. We got this place. Upon arrival, my partner and I realised we had stayed in this joint before - but it used to be called something else. The lobby area is nice, the valet do their job, the reception area is SLOW and always seems to... more

Dear Krissishi, Thank you for your feedback on our property, I was disappointed to read you were unhappy with your stay. The view from your room is unfortunately reflective of our hotel location, in the centre of a large city. I am pleased to advise that since your stay in December, our public areas refurbishment has now been completed, which...

“Excellent value for money”

Happy_Blot

Sydney, Australia

Jun 22, 2008

We stayed here for two nights to attend the Good Food and Wine Show at Darling Harbour. It was very convenient to walk to the event and we had the option of the monorail door to door. The room was clean, bed comfortable and as we had breakfast, late check out and parking included in the price as well as... more

“Great Hotel!”

OntarioJackson

Jun 3, 2008

Rydges World Square Hotel in downtown Sydney was a wonderful, classy, comfortable hotel. The staff were excellent, the room well-appointed and it was located right downtown with many services nearby including a number of internet cafes so that you can catch up with happenings a world away. I would certainly recommend it. more

Jun 3, 2008

Having read some of the reviews of this hotel on here we seriously considered cancelling our booking but in the end decided to go for it. Were glad we did, dont know what all the fuss is about. The hotel is brilliantly located just a short walk from darling harbour. An easy walk to central station and the museum station.... more

“3 star hotel for 5 Star Cash!”

0/2 found this review helpful

I booked the hotel at short notice, using a special offer on a well known website. The room was meant to be a "superior King", in the Rydges World Tower, a downtown 5* Sydney hotel. The hotel itself is situated on top of a Shopping centre in Downtown Sydney, 5 mins walk from Darling Harbour, but much further from Circular... more

“Pefectly Good Hotel”

1/1 found this review helpful

This is not a 5 Star, blow-your-hair-back hotel, but you'll be happy to have stayed here. The rooms are nice sized and modern (flat panel TVs as an example), and the staff is kind and helpful. We arrived in at the hotel at 11am (after a LONG flight from the US), and they were happy to let us check in.... more
