I can highly recommend this property for business travelers or short stay travelers visiting Sydney. Service was perfect, the staff went above and beyond to ensure I had everything that I needed. The rooms are well appointed with all needed items including iron and ironing board (many hotels you have to ask for it and wait 2 hours for someone to bring one). The only upgrade that the rooms need is 'universal' plug sockets but since I forgot my travel adapter, the front desk loaned me one. I will definitely stay at this hotel again the next time I happen to be in Sydney. Well done Rydges.

Rydges Australia Square has recently been refitted from the old Tank Stream Hotel. It is modern, clean and the staff were very helpful. The check in process was done online but easy to manage. There is a restaurant with good dinner options. We enjoyed dinner there. They have breakfast available plus a cafe that doubles as a bar at night. Such a great central location and close to Wynyard train station. I stayed in a twin room. The room is small but comfortable and nice and modern as it has just been done up. We had a room with a window facing the street. There are also rooms that are centrally located that face an internal void.
