Great stay at Rydges central Sydney
We stayed here to celebrate our anniversary. Not only we were offered early and late check out, Rydges hotel went the extra mile to surprise us with a bottle of champagne! The hotel is in a good location close to everything. The room is spacious, clean and staff is helpful. Can't really fault it Thank you so much. You made our special day unforgettable.

Average stay for higher price
Staff are friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately the room we stayed in was pretty dated along with an ancient tv. The bathroom is really in need of some attention as the shower screen is basically non existent and allows water to flow all over the bathroom floor and the toilet seat is way too small and doesn’t correctly fit the existing toilet. Overall cleanliness of the bathroom wasn’t great with a used screw up tissue down the toilet and toilet seat left up like it had just been used. Thick dust hanging off mirror, windows don’t open or close but they have a constant breeze along with a breeze that seemed to plow from under the room door.
The lifts are incredibly slow, better to walk but no stairwell in sight apart from ground floor to the 1st floor.
Breakfast was included in our booking but was very average at best, all pastries stale and chewy, all eggs were snotty and undercooked, definately not worth the $30+ you’d have to pay. We had breakfast for 3 mornings hoping for an improvement each time but no such luck.
For the price you pay I think there are better options however if you need access to central station then it’s an ideal location.
Sydney brewery which is attached is really nice and must go if you’re around

We stayed for my wife's 60th birthday. Great location.
Checkout was 11am we had house cleaners opening our door at 10:15 my wife just stepped out of the shower and had to push the door shut on them so they couldn’t see her, then 20minutes later they did the same. Don't they know when guest have booked out of rooms before entring. Very disappointing

Toilet seat broken and toilet paper the thinnest I have ever seen
Did not take my room service tray from dinner the night before out of my room when they cleaned the room
Room service menu very small
I had multiple bags and no concierge to help take bags up to room
Check in and out took long time as 3 staff talked amongst themselves (about the football) whilst one staff was actually serving customers
