Non-smoking rooms and an above average breakfast, perfect base for visiting Sydney. Moreover, circular quay was 5 minutes' walk away.

    I always return for the perfect stay, with Wi-Fi, pool, and friendly staff. They even gave me a morning wake-up call. Everything I need is here, like the fitness center and restaurant. Excited to return for Easter!

    I chose this hotel for attending an assembly because it provides exhibitions with a focus on living artists and an emphasis on catering to visitors of all ages and interest levels. The location was perfect for exploring the vibrant area of The Rocks and attending the nearby assembly. The views from the rooftop were stunning and added to the overall experience.

    I missed having a dedicated business center or meeting room facilities within the hotel for my work.

    The room was so spacious and full of natural light, and the comfy Queen-size bed with a choice of soft or firm pillows was just perfect for a good night's sleep. As a business traveler, I really appreciated the relaxing and calming atmosphere of the room.

    I personally found the walk-in shower with hand rails a bit unnecessary for my needs.

    The location was perfect, close to the iconic landmarks and easy access to ferries and cruise ships. Another advantage was the comfortable bed and a good selection of breakfast options.

    The reception area was vast and not very inviting, and some furnishing could use an update. The main reception area had poor signal and lacked internet connectivity, which was inconvenient.

    We had a fantastic time staying in this hotel with our group of friends. The location was perfect, as it was central to shops, restaurants, and the city center. We loved that it was only a 10-minute walk to the city center and that we had easy access to ferries and trains. The hotel was also conveniently located within walking distance of the main cruise terminal, which was great for our day trips. We were pleasantly surprised by the variety and quality of breakfast options offered. Our rooms were spacious and tidy, with city views that added to the overall experience. The staff were friendly and helpful, ensuring a pleasant stay. we highly recommend this hotel for its great location and excellent service.

    The only downside was the noisy private party held in the main foyer on Saturday night, which could have been disruptive to guests with young children.

    I loved the location, just a stone's throw from the cruise terminal and the vibrant markets on the weekends. The breakfast selection was great, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. The room was spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room for a cot. The hotel is very family-friendly, providing plastic plates and cups for kids. I had an excellent experience and would recommend this hotel.

    Conveniently located in a lively area with easy access to public transport. Daily room service ensured cleanliness and a comfortable bed. The spacious lobby provided a pleasant environment for socializing with friends. The friendly and attentive staff contributed to a professional atmosphere. Ideal for exploring the local attractions, markets, and restaurants in the historic surroundings.

    The location was amazing. It was easy to get around by foot to see different attractions and the hotel has a great rooftop for perfect views of the city. This was ideal for the Vivid festival being able to watch the light show with only a few other people.

    Felt welcomed into the family, nothing too much trouble.

    This hotel is located in the heart of an old and historic area of the city, close to boats and offering great views. Just across from the Quay, there are plenty of bars and restaurants nearby to choose from. The rooms, though a little dated, are spacious and cleaned to a good standard. Breakfast is of high quality with a good choice available.

    Some guests noted some cleanliness issues in their rooms such as stained sheets, hair in the shower and the rim of the bath unfresh.

    Within walking distance of everything, hotel facilities, location and staff. This hotel is conveniently located in the historic Rocks area, which is very close to the famous Harbour Bridge and Opera House. The hotel has some great facilities such as a comfortable and cosy bed with amazing pillows, clean bathrooms, a lovely breakfast buffet, and a great rooftop area with stunning views over the harbour. The hotel staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful throughout my stay.

    Can't fault the property in any way.

    I recently stayed at this hotel and I must say it was wonderful. This place is located in the perfect spot for tourists, in the historic Old Town close to many must-visit spots. The cruise port is within easy walking distance, and the hotel is almost under the bridge, which makes it a great spot to see all the beautiful sights. The staff was extremely helpful, they even accommodated our requests at the Reception Desk. The room was also amazing and very clean, with all the amenities you could want. The hotel has great features like the swimming pool, outdoor jacuzzi, sun terrace, and sun loungers, the perfect places to relax after a long day of sightseeing. Happy hour was also a bonus!

    We had a lovely stay here, and I would highly recommend this venue to my family.

    The staff at the hotel were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They made us feel right at home and were always willing to assist with any inquiries or requests. The hotel also had a great rooftop terrace which offered stunning views of the city. It was the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a glass of wine or a cold one after a day of exploring.

    Although the overall experience was great, there were a couple of downsides. The hot tub was unfortunately out of order during our stay, which was a bit disappointing.

    We could see the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House, making our family stay truly memorable from sunrise to sunset.

    My wife says that a kids' play area would be great.

    During my recent stay at Rydges, I was pleasantly surprised by the excellent location of the hotel. Being close to the harbor, the Harbor Bridge, and in the Rock district area made exploring the city so convenient. The staff at the desk were very receptive and helpful, especially when we had a logistics problem to solve. The hotel accommodations were also clean and well serviced.

    I did notice that the carpet in the hotel was a bit dusty and could use some cleaning. Additionally, our room happened to be situated just above the service dock, so we experienced some noise from trucks backing in and out early in the morning.

    We absolutely loved our stay at this luxurious hotel. The location was perfect, right opposite the Cruise Terminal in the historic Old Town area. We were able to easily walk to all the main attractions around the square and explore the charming "The Rocks" neighborhood. The service was top-notch, with friendly and accommodating staff who went above and beyond to meet our requests. The room was clean, quiet, and well-appointed with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay.

    We highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a luxurious and comfortable stay. With its prime location, excellent service, and well-appointed rooms, this place is a true gem in the heart of the city.

    I recently stayed at Rydges in the Rocks for two nights. The hotel's location was perfect for exploring the city, with easy access to Circular Quay and public transport. The room was comfortable and clean, and the staff were friendly and helpful. I particularly enjoyed the spectacular views from the roof terrace, as well as the hot tub and pool area. The free breakfast with made-to-order omelettes was a great start to the day. I loved everything about my stay at this hotel!

    Would definitely recommend this hotel.

    The Lobby Bar is the place to turn for a drink. The selection of Australian craft beer options was delightful. I was spoiled for choice with the lineup of classic cocktails and the wine list that includes some of the best drops from Australian wine regions.

    Air con in the room wasn’t cool enough.
