Central location and a great 4 star hotel
Having read some of the reviews and given the low price I got the room for I was a little worried about what the room would be like. I had no reason to worry at all! I have stayed in a lot of hotels and this is a high quality 4 start hotel. The rooms were modern and very comfortable. The bathroom a little small but manageable. The location is great and the staff very helpful. The bed was very comfortable too!

need to be improved
it is not so convenient without free wifi, even at the lobby. And the reception service attitude is nice, but not enough. All the others are very good. And it charges me some other fees though not much, from my credit card without any explanation. i hope one email from this hotel could tell me the reason.

Location was very central to everything in the city. Staff throughout the hotel were polite and very helpful. My room was very clean , the room cleaning staff on the 15th floor were very polite and very competent. An overall happy stay. But l will put this in .....the Breakfast price is abit high it should be apart of the room.

Rydges hotel was very close to
Rydges hotel was very close to our venue. We could walk which was great. I would of liked the hotel to have a little compilmentry wine, as it was our 40th wedding anniversary. But it was still good. Wife wants to know if you have any beds for sale.They were great to sleep in.
