Excellent time at Rydges. We were on the top floor and it was mostly very quiet with a great view. We did experience some humming from some equipment in the adjacent room, so next time will request a different room. But that was the only negative. Everything else was spot-on.

Stay was okay for 1 night. Pros: Bed and pillows were extremely comfortable. Cons: Room was quite small and stuffy. Ordered Toastie snack at 10.30pm for room service and it arrived closer to 11pm. Came in a cardboard box in a brown paper bag amd they have the cheek to charge me $6 tray service charge…! No one was coming back to collect it !! Four Fire engines arrived outside of hotel around 11.30pm. My husband was coming back to hotel from a function at this same time and called to say he wasn’t allowed into the hotel. I was in the hotel room and had no knowledge of what was happening down stairs. I heard the sirens and saw the lights reflecting in the street, but there were no alarms or evacuation undertaken even though the fire doors to the lifts were closed. Buffet breakfast next day was ok. Very expensive at $45pp and then having to pay for a coffee/late on top…should be included at that price. Had to ask staff for plates as they ran out and hadn’t been replenished. Went to get some apple juice….none left…also had to ask for spoons. Buffet layout terrible. Pastry offering poor also as ran out of items and not replenished at 9.30am…when.buffet runs to 11am.
