We arrived from the cruise port over 3 hrs ahead of 2pm check in but was told a room was ready and no extra charge. The location was a 5 minute walk to all public transportation. Buffet Breakfast was good but found the price high.

Our designated room was a bit of a letdown this time. The TV was not working and the room had not been cleaned properly, there was a bobby pin on the floor and some other debris along with the dust on the horizontal surfaces. We were moved to another room with no fuss, so the service was excellent.

The Rydges property was an enjoyable stay, but the room rate of $399 taxes (total $438) was not justified. All services and facilities were good, but did not justify the room rate. In future I will book another option. The surrounding neighborhood is less than desirable in that the streetscape was dirty, footpaths damaged and unsafe and too many undesireable people just haning around.

Overall a very pleasant one night stay which was ideal being close to Central Railway Station. Slightly disaponted that they accidently double charged me and had the withdrawal not came up on my phone, I'd have been none the wiser. Thankfully the duty manager rectified the mistake and money was refunded before i checked out.

The location was 2 blocks from Central Station making it accessible to the whole city and beyond by bus, light rail and train. It was 11 minutes to the Airport by train and 10 minutes to the Sydney Opera Hall. Not $66 by Cab. We noticed many airline pilots/flight attendant crews coming and going.
