Nice hotel close to Canberra attractions. Rooms were comfortable but not high standard as other Rydges. Housekeeping was lacking- no teaspoons, used mugs and glasses not replaced, milk and coffee not replenished. Parking $25 per night. Best part of hotel was the indoor pool.

Deteriorating Hotel
Third time we have stayed at Rydges. We will not be back. Our room was badly knocked around and shabby. One of the two sinks in the bathroom was partially blocked. They provide tea and coffee and no spoon to stir it with. One of the internet connection ports was smashed. We had to move the lounge so we could watch tv only to reveal all the filth under it. To top it off , a charge of $25 per night to park the car which was not revealed until you go to check in. Their advertising only said " parking available". There is no investment in upgrading this site. The positve - the bed was comfortable, the staff polite and it was walking distance to dinning options at the Manuka shops.

Strangely our room didn’t have a shower shelf installed. The two supportive bars were present. We informed reception, who informed Housekeeping/ maintenance. However we heard nothing more & unfortunately the shelf was never replaced for the remaining nights of our stay. Disappointed by this.

We stayed there for a couple of nights. This experience was not very pleasant apart from the easy walk to other places, but other than that they didn't provide any lotion, the pillows they gave us were ripped, there was no microwave, the hot water ran out and we had to pay for parking. Housekeeping was delayed and they didn't clean our floor, the swimming pool was pretty small. Overall this is one of the worst 5 star hotel I have stayed at, VERY DISAPPOINTED.😡😡😡

The staff were lovely. The hotel is nice but the rooms are a little run down. The carpet in our room was stained and the large glass windows looking over the front of the hotel were smeared in greasy hand marks. The bathroom was clean. Parking was easy, but there is a charge of $25 per vehicle per night.
