One of the Worst Hotel Experiences I’ve Ever Had

My stay at Rydges Camperdown was extremely disappointing. When I checked in, an older Asian gentleman at the front desk politely informed me there was a breakfast discount if I paid at reception before heading to the restaurant. The next day, I did exactly that. This time, a young Asian man was there—he said his name was Rain. No name tag, no visible ID. I had to ask him directly. He spoke to me rudely, told me there’s no discount, and insisted it had to be paid before check-in. I explained what his colleague said, but he treated me like I was lying. Over $11. He said he’d “check if my story was true” and let me pay $24 instead of $35 for that day only. I’d already paid over $1100 for the stay. I’m a doctor staying for hospital work—why would I lie about breakfast? The food was dry and limited, not worth the drama. Then the heater in my room didn’t work. I reported it, and they ignored me for 4 nights. I slept in a freezing room until they responded one night before checkout. When I got sick, I ordered medication. The Uber driver arrived, but Rain refused to send it up or bring it to my room. I told him I was unwell and could barely move. He still said I had to come down myself. I only managed to pick it up the next day. Most staff were fine, but Rain was unprofessional, cold, and disrespectful. He shouldn’t be in hospitality. Do yourself a favour: skip this hotel. There are hostels with better service, warmer rooms, and more dignity. Rydges Camperdown was a complete let down
