We booked a mystery 5 star hotel through wotif for our stay in Sydney. We got this place. Upon arrival, my partner and I realised we had stayed in this joint before - but it used to be called something else. The lobby area is nice, the valet do their job, the reception area is SLOW and always seems to... more

We stayed here for two nights to attend the Good Food and Wine Show at Darling Harbour. It was very convenient to walk to the event and we had the option of the monorail door to door. The room was clean, bed comfortable and as we had breakfast, late check out and parking included in the price as well as... more

Rydges World Square Hotel in downtown Sydney was a wonderful, classy, comfortable hotel. The staff were excellent, the room well-appointed and it was located right downtown with many services nearby including a number of internet cafes so that you can catch up with happenings a world away. I would certainly recommend it. more

Having read some of the reviews of this hotel on here we seriously considered cancelling our booking but in the end decided to go for it. Were glad we did, dont know what all the fuss is about. The hotel is brilliantly located just a short walk from darling harbour. An easy walk to central station and the museum station.... more

I booked the hotel at short notice, using a special offer on a well known website. The room was meant to be a "superior King", in the Rydges World Tower, a downtown 5* Sydney hotel. The hotel itself is situated on top of a Shopping centre in Downtown Sydney, 5 mins walk from Darling Harbour, but much further from Circular... more

This is not a 5 Star, blow-your-hair-back hotel, but you'll be happy to have stayed here. The rooms are nice sized and modern (flat panel TVs as an example), and the staff is kind and helpful. We arrived in at the hotel at 11am (after a LONG flight from the US), and they were happy to let us check in.... more

I booked and had confirmed a twin room for myself and elderly mum. 2 days before arriving, I checked the booking and they had changed it to a king bed room. I had to ring 3 times before they would change and confirm the room as a twin room. On getting to the hotel, the lobby was nice, but on... more

Stayed for two nights for business, this hotel is in a great location, close to Shopping & business district. Valet parking was easy & the hotel kept my car until the afternoon of the day I checked out so as I could attend a course close by, they also offered to store my luggage for the day. This was done... more

Stayed here for a total of 6 nights in March and April 2008. Had been a little bit nervous given some of the feedback on here but made the booking on a basis of a number of stays with Rydges in London but have no regrets at all. Room was spacious and clean and the staff throughout the hotel were... more

Spent two nights here, traveling alone with toddler, and the majority of the hotel staff certainly didn't make the experience any easier. To be fair, the concierge team was excellent, lending me a stroller as I hadn't expected to be spending any time in Sydney and suggesting toddler-friendly activities and eateries. The rest of the staff were experts at avoiding... more

Dear Traveltot, Thank you for your comments in regards to your recent stay. To say I was disappointed is an understatement in regards to your comments about the service you received and the cleanliness of your room. This is not the high standard we strive to achieve and I apologise that we were able to meet your needs on this...
