Rydges Sydney Central reviews
5 Star Review by Rachael
Stayed here for a work conference and couldn't be happier. The staff were so friendly and the rooms a great size and comfortable. The buffet breakfast was delicious and had plenty of options. The facilities for the conference were fantastic and the whole overall experience was effortless from a customer's point of view.

The hotel deserves its fours stars. The staff is friendly and forthcoming, the rooms are spacious and very clean. It is also very commendable that the hotel offers a small mini-bar voucher if guests choose not to have their rooms serviced every day. Big kudos for that, a small incentive surely raises the amount of people taking the option, and it will greatly benefit the environment. However there are a few issues why I think this hotel does not deserve a top rating amongst it's 4-star peers: - The sauna is broken, and according to a fellow guest who has stayed there multiple times in the past, has been for a while. It doesn't get warmer than 50 degrees (a sauna should at least get 80 degrees). - The gym is a bit underwhelming, as there are only few training devices. Again, one devices seemed in disrepair (the rowing machine's strength couldn't be adjusted, and it has some screws sticking out the seat). - The hotel has a major road on one side, and windows are only single-glazed. I had a room that was close to the road and usually woke up quite early from the noise of the traffic. Form my point of view the sound insulation should be upgraded. On a side-note, it always bothers me that high-end hotels don't seem to have toilet brushes in their bathrooms. I get that they don't want to bother the guests with cleaning. Just because it is there doesn't mean a guest has to use it, but it gives them the option. I don't want to be faced with the consequences of my recent toilet visit every time I visit the bathroom again. Especially if I can choose to forfeit my daily room servicing. And it would be a waste to get the whole room serviced just for that one stain.

Spacious,clean rooms, very good breakfast,. handy for transport. Staff helpful & friendly. A special thanks to Hans when our transport didnt turn up to take us to the airport. There were a whole group of different people. She was amazing.. phoning taxi companies, chasing them & liaising with the taxi drivers when they got there to quickly get people to the airport. A credit to the hotel.
2 Star Review by Jehan Ansar
1. There is no proper shower door (be prepared to mop up a floor full of water after youre done) 2. The small rack in the shower to keep soap gets in your way and you might hit it with your elbow. Wrong placement 3. Theres coffee but no creamer available (I cant seem to figure out why) 4. The hot water is not regulated so its difficult to get the right temperature when showering (you either burn or freeze yourself) 5. Parking per day is $55 which I feel is ridiculously overpriced 6. The hotel stay price per night is also too pricey 7. There is no free breakfast for guests. A lousy meal costs $25 which doesnt make sense. The 7/11 nearby has much better quality foods and coffee.

If youre looking for an impressive place to host your next work function/conference then please keep looking because this isnt the place. All the rooms have the basic facilities that you require, its just not that impressive, the quality of the fit-out leaves a lot to be desired. The coffee facilities are very low budget and the snacks provided for morning and afternoon tea are very basic. The coffee machine ran out of water early and wasnt refilled till late in the afternoon. The staff are not attentive to your needs. The buffet lunch is very average. Overall I wasnt impressed with this venue Ive only given the stars that I have because if its convenient location the rest of the experience was way below par.
