Rydges Properties in Sydney

Pros: The room is very spacious and well-lit with a great view, as shown in picture 1. It's right next to the University of Sydney, and there are three bus stops nearby, making it easy to get to downtown Sydney. The soundproofing is also excellent. Plus, the front desk offers free luggage storage. The bed is incredibly soft and comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and pleasant, with a supermarket conveniently located nearby. Cons: Maybe it's just my imagination, but one female front desk staff member seemed a little unfriendly, though it was barely noticeable.

The hotel's location is pretty good, making it convenient to get around. The lobby is exquisitely decorated and offers self-service drinking water. The front desk staff are enthusiastic and welcoming. The room space is a bit small, and there's a construction site nearby. Although the windows are soundproofed, it still affected my sleep in the mornings. For an Atour hotel in China, paying over 1000 RMB per night, I personally don't think it offers great value for money. After staying for two nights, I moved to the Four Seasons nearby on Sunday. For just over 900 RMB, it was superior in every aspect.

Hotel is easy to find, but there’s nothing in the neighbourhood—you’ll need to drive to get anywhere. The bathroom amenities are very basic. Breakfast is not worth $36—you only get instant coffee, which is very disappointing. The sofa bed is only suitable for small kids, not for adults. You can feel the springs when sitting on it, and the mattress is very thin.

The location of the accommodation and the 24-hour response were good, but the housekeeper did not clean it properly, and even though we asked for a body shower from a day ago until that morning, it was still not filled when we came in after going out.

The room facilities were great, and the location was absolutely perfect – just a 5-minute walk to international departures. The hotel front desk staff, however, were quite unfriendly; this might have been due to my English not being very fluent. This hotel is ideal for catching early morning flights. Sydney international departures are incredibly busy in the mornings; I woke up at 6 AM and already saw traffic building up. It took almost half an hour from leaving the hotel to checking in my luggage. After that, I only had enough time to quickly browse duty-free before boarding.

The room is spacious, perfectly fine for two people. It's located near the street, so occasionally there's loud motorbike noise, but other times it's very quiet. The fridge is a bit too cold; the bottled water I bought turned into thin ice after half a day, which was hilarious! The bathroom floor can be a bit slippery, both barefoot and with shoes, if there's water on the ground, so do be careful. The view from the room's window is lovely. There seems to be a small park opposite with a beautiful tree. The morning and evening sun reflects into the room, which is very therapeutic.

We booked this hotel for a short stay of 2 days and 1 night before sending our mom to the airport for her flight back to Malaysia, and then continued our journey to other cities for sightseeing. The location is very convenient, with a 7-Eleven, Woolworths, and the train station all within easy walking distance. Cleanliness was excellent throughout our stay—the room, common areas, and walkways were all spotless, well maintained, and very pleasant. Overall, a comfortable and hassle-free stay. Highly recommended.

The location is excellent. The room you stayed in faces the beach and you can see the beautiful sunrise. There is a train station nearby (5-7 minutes walk), and you can take the train out of Sydney city center without driving. There are many attractive quality restaurants surrounding the hotel. This stay was very satisfying and unforgettable for my girlfriend and I. In addition, there are ample parking spaces in the hotel's basement, but the parking fee is A$30 per day, which is reasonable.

I really enjoyed my stay at Rydges North Sydney. The rooms are very spacious, which made the experience comfortable and relaxing. The location is excellent, with easy access to nearby attractions and amenities. One area that could be improved is cleanliness. While the space and location are wonderful, more attention to detail in maintaining cleanliness would make the stay even better.Overall, a pleasant experience and I look forward to seeing improvements on my next visit.

[Location & First Impression] Just two blocks from George Street, the main thoroughfare, so the location is truly excellent. As it's a hotel with cooking facilities, there was no typical hotel air freshener scent in the lobby or room, which was a plus. Early check-in was available for a fee, but I decided not to proceed with it. [Room Condition & Heating] The room does have a balcony, but it faces the building opposite, so there's no privacy. It was a shame having to keep the curtains closed even during the day. The air conditioning/heater was set to a maximum of 24 degrees Celsius and couldn't be adjusted higher. While this might be fine for Westerners, Koreans might find it a bit chilly, so please keep that in mind! [Payment & Deposit Notes] I put down a deposit with my credit card at check-in, and on the day of check-out, a $4 charge appeared. I'm now waiting for the authorization to be cancelled. [Amenities & Supplies] Bathroom: The shampoo, conditioner, and body wash were of excellent quality, which I was very satisfied with. A shower cap and hairdryer were also provided. No slippers, no complimentary bottled water, no bathtub.
