A great stay

A little tired, however, a bit of poor paintwork is nothing when one looks at all the excellent features to enjoy here. There is good seating in the lobby, and a bar with food, or a table with service in the restaurant usually used for breakfast. The food is good. A walk-in shower - with taps clearly marked, no ridiculous maneuvering to avoid the water when you turn them on is a huge plus. The pool and spa are amazing. With a huge room, fridge, sofa, wonderful bed and a room service menu in writing, I could want for nothing more. The staff are excellent - friendly and efficient. Location is good with plenty of coffee shops and restaurants nearby. It is a $20 uber to city locations, Central station is close, and there is a bus service to Crown Street restaurants (or a short walk up a hill). I loved my stay at Rydges Sydney Central and intend to return as a regular Sydney visitor.

Pleasant and comfortable stay

We had a pleasant stay overnight for our 42nd Anniversary. We checked-in with Keannu at reception. He was very polite and friendly. When we told him if he could do anything special for our stay, he gave us 2 drink vouchers each. We asked about breakfast and was told it was $25 each if pre-booked and we asked if we could have complimentary breakfast for our anniversary. After we settled into our room, he rang to tell us that we just needed to give our room number at breakfast, and it was on the house. We were so grateful and thanked him before we went out for lunch at Chinatown. He gave us directions to get there. It was only about 10 - 15 minutes walk. The room and bathroom was comfortable and clean. I made use of the indoor swimming pool. It was a good size with a jacuzzi. We used the gym the next morning, and it had all the weights we needed. Location is convenient and a only few hundred metres walking distance from Central Station.

Excellent location for appointments and entertainment. My room was clean, comfortable and had plenty of space. The Sydney Brewery is onsite and a great location for a quiet drink and tasty food without leaving the hotel.

The property was ideally situated for public transport. The room we had was very spacious and the large balcony was a bonus. The only downside was drunks in the local area but we were not troubled by them.
