Rydges Properties in Sydney

Pros: The room is very spacious and well-lit with a great view, as shown in picture 1. It's right next to the University of Sydney, and there are three bus stops nearby, making it easy to get to downtown Sydney. The soundproofing is also excellent. Plus, the front desk offers free luggage storage. The bed is incredibly soft and comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and pleasant, with a supermarket conveniently located nearby. Cons: Maybe it's just my imagination, but one female front desk staff member seemed a little unfriendly, though it was barely noticeable.

The location is very convenient, and the view is excellent. Overall, the stay was fantastic. The room was clean and tidy, and the facilities were well-maintained. The front desk service was enthusiastic and efficient, making check-in and check-out quick. The geographical location is superior, making travel convenient, and the bedding was very comfortable to sleep in. I would choose to stay here again next time, highly recommended! It was a very good stay. The rooms were quiet and clean, and the staff were polite and friendly. The facilities were comprehensive, and the value for money was great. Everything exceeded expectations, highly recommended.

The location of the accommodation and the 24-hour response were good, but the housekeeper did not clean it properly, and even though we asked for a body shower from a day ago until that morning, it was still not filled when we came in after going out.

Hotel is easy to find, but there’s nothing in the neighbourhood—you’ll need to drive to get anywhere. The bathroom amenities are very basic. Breakfast is not worth $36—you only get instant coffee, which is very disappointing. The sofa bed is only suitable for small kids, not for adults. You can feel the springs when sitting on it, and the mattress is very thin.

The room facilities were great, and the location was absolutely perfect – just a 5-minute walk to international departures. The hotel front desk staff, however, were quite unfriendly; this might have been due to my English not being very fluent. This hotel is ideal for catching early morning flights. Sydney international departures are incredibly busy in the mornings; I woke up at 6 AM and already saw traffic building up. It took almost half an hour from leaving the hotel to checking in my luggage. After that, I only had enough time to quickly browse duty-free before boarding.

We arrived quite early on a red-eye flight, and there was a charge for early check-in, which we paid. The reception staff upgraded our room to the 8th floor, which was great! The room was very spacious. The bed was a bit too soft and the pillows too high, but it was clean. The hotel has a pool, sauna, and heated pool, which was fantastic. We took our kids there in the evening to burn off some energy before bed. The location is super convenient, with a light rail nearby that goes to the main attractions, and it's only about a ten-minute walk to the city center!

Pros: Fantastic location. Even though some reviews mentioned the bed being too soft, it was actually the most comfortable hotel bed my kid has slept in for years. I usually have trouble sleeping in new beds, but this one didn't give me any insomnia. The front desk service was relatively warm and welcoming. The in-room capsule coffee machine worked great. Nice view from the window. Cons: The duvet cover situation was really odd; there wasn't one. The duvet insert was just sandwiched between two sheets, and it would come undone as soon as you lay down. The room was quite small. Every day, inexplicably, dust would settle on the bed. Houskeeping seemed to be inconsistent: one day the coffee wasn't restocked, another day the trash wasn't emptied completely, and some days we got an excessive amount of towels. The room was small.

The worst Father’s Day stay I have had in over 50 years - the television did not work and we paid extra to have a ocean view room but when you look out all you see are high rise buildings and pine trees from the room - if you go out onto the balcony and look to the right there is the ocean - the balcony door lock did not work and was held by a hook and eye staple ( at least that reminded me of my childhood 70 years ago ) - no milk in the fridge for tea or coffee - the bath mat was a hand towel for one foot only so no chance of 4 for Father’s Day celebration - the food was good and the staff helpful and courteous - on checking out I did voice our concerns and was told the manager would be advised.

The hotel's location is pretty good, making it convenient to get around. The lobby is exquisitely decorated and offers self-service drinking water. The front desk staff are enthusiastic and welcoming. The room space is a bit small, and there's a construction site nearby. Although the windows are soundproofed, it still affected my sleep in the mornings. For an Atour hotel in China, paying over 1000 RMB per night, I personally don't think it offers great value for money. After staying for two nights, I moved to the Four Seasons nearby on Sunday. For just over 900 RMB, it was superior in every aspect.

The room size is quite spacious, and the location is excellent, offering great value for money. Be aware that the minibar items in the room are charged separately, so don't assume they are complimentary! On Friday and Saturday nights, it can get a bit noisy downstairs due to the crowds. However, the hotel staff are very friendly and provide detailed information during check-in. The luggage storage service is also well-organized, adding to the convenience of the trip.
