This hotel is well located for the Parliamentary circle, and parking (paid) is good. The staff were very friendly, but a number were inexperienced and so not as efficient as they may be (breakfast restaurant table clearing, for example). The fitout is nice, but overall the hotel could better maintained - door frames around the room were chipped, and at least two of the service plates on the breakfast buffet had big chips in them.

Having arrived from a late flight issue in Melbourne at 1.45am i was pleased to have a room waiting. My stay was short, as I was up at 7.00am and out of the Hotel around 8.00am. The room had everything that was needed. Thank you for accommodating my late arrival. (Early morning arrival)

For a Rydges property, I thought this one was a little rundown. The room needed a repainting - lots of markings/ scrap marks on the walls and some of the furniture. There was no coffee making facilities in the room. There were not many people in the restaurant on Friday night - but the service was very, very slow. Quality of my main meal was fair; the dessert was nice. Staff were very friendly.

First the bad news, not much , the shower in room 336 spills into the main bathroom and does not drain, and the shower mixer taps are really fiddly. Also forgot to mention to checkout the seat back of the office chair is about to come off. The rest is good, ultra clean, great bed, bit of an outlook, good barista girl, great 11am check out which gave me time for laps in the great pool and spa. Good overall price. Very well designed property, best I have come across with a brilliant atrium.

Not one to normally review nor complain but you have expectations of Rydges I guess. Cleanliness was quite Poor, carpets were skimmed over at best, milk in the mini bars were out of date, a few other little things. Buffet breakfast was unfortunately average at best. Housekeeping swiped into and came into our room without announcing themselves when one of our children weren’t clothed. Unapologetic and didn’t see any issue with this. Concierge and restaurant staff were all professional and lovely.

Overpriced for a dated hotel in Canberra. Dodgy aircon blowing cold air even when off. View out our window was to an internal corridor, so we had to keep blinds closed. Breakfast buffet was understaffed, many items unavailable and a pretty poor experience. Staff seemed disinterested.
