Rydges Sydney Central

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Bedroom was quiet, clean and comfortable and offered exceptional value for money considering reasonably central location. Heated indoor pool, small sauna and gym included in price were welcome additions.

Great location, right in the heart of Surry Hills, minutes to Central station, buses/trams. Plenty of bars, cafes and shops nearby. Check-in and out was quick and effortless. I stayed during Christmas for a few days, and came back again in January as I'd enjoyed it the first time. Hotel is bright and welcoming. Rooms are good, beds SO comfortable, and everything spotlessly clean. Air-con is ok, a bit noisy but did the job well during some very high temperature days and nights. Rooms contain a fridge, which was useful during the hot weather to store a cold drink, however like any hotel with a mini-bar, those prices are expensive and to be avoided. The hotel has a swimming pool, jacuzzi and sauna, which I used most days, it was usually quiet. The breakfast buffet is fantastic, great selection of food, with the usual eggs/bacon/sausages on offer, and also cold cuts/cheeses and vegetarian options, and also steamed dumplings and rice, nice for a change. There is a juicer so you can make your own juices, which I loved, I haven't seen that anywhere else that I've stayed. The Sydney Brewery bar attached to the hotel is good, with great food specials and happy hour twice daily. Check-out is 11am which is great so you're not in a rush after breakfast. Overall I was very happy with my stay here, it was a super convenient location.

Nice hotel near to Central Station, but in reasonable walking distance to the rest of the city. Rooms are like most of the Rydges brand and provide everything you need. We were a bit early but the room was ready; this is always a bonus. Great range of restaurants very close, we were impressed.

Great location and value for money. I actually found it better than a 5 star hotel in the city that I stayed at a few weeks prior. The room was huge, the staff were great and I really enjoyed the pool too. Great water pressure in the shower. My room was not ready on arrival (2.30pm) but to apologise for the inconvenience I was given a drink voucher to use at the bar next door. I do appreciate the gesture and by the time I came back my room was ready, so thank you to the staff for that.

- facilities were perfect - nice rooms, with a bed, and a nice bathroom - the rooms are well equipped with all the necessities (soaps etc) - easy to navigate around the building - breakfast was a very affordable price and all of the food was a very good standard, I really enjoyed this each morning - the location is perfect right next to the Central train station - staff were very helpful to me and friendly when having breakfast etc - my room was tidied when I was gone, was a nice surprise when I came back in - pool was good, sauna was perfect. - the gym has all you need when you are on vacation. I enjoyed using this. - my early check in request was also accepted which was very convenient and I appreciated that.
