Great Location, Good Service

I'd been to Brisbane in 2008 and stayed on the other side of town from the Rydges. After my experience at Rydges, I'd opt to stay in South Bank again. The location was great along the Brisbane River, with easy access to the CBD and restaurants. The staff was friendly and helpful. I especially liked the copy of the Australian newspaper left at my door each morning.

We had a great stay. The staff

We had a great stay. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. When we asked for something, ie leave luggage at reception and collect before our flight; nothing was any trouble. The room service was much appreciated. The location to South Brisbane train station was close and South Bank only across the road was terrific. The breakfast buffet was tops.

My friend and I wished to go to

My friend and I wished to go to art exhibitions mainly and Rydges was recommended by a local. We found the location splendid and we were able to walk to all three venues and were near the river which is a lovely place to walk along. We had a room with 3 beds rather than 2 but it was comfortable and pleasant with a balcony to sit out on in the morning.

Well positioned hotel on South

Well positioned hotel on South Bank close to all the cultural facilities. The rooms are large, bed was comfortable, room service was prompt. There is a good cafe downstairs. The staff on the front desk were helpful. I liked the hotel but can only afford to stay here when there are discounts as otherwise it is too expensive.

Great location, excellent spacious

Great location, excellent spacious room, and curiously, even though I had nominated one of the two newspapers offered, both were outside my door the next morning. Having a microwave and sink in the room is a great idea, but the hotel's restaurants are excellent.
