Stayed for 2 nights and was dubious considering some of the TA reviews. Had emailed the hotel twice to make room request based on tips left by other reviewers.... No reply from hotel and they didn't have the info when we arrived. Front desk person was under heaps of pressure when we arrived, and he did handle it well but... More

My Husband & I booked our wedding at the Rydges on Swanston street on Friday 26th April 2013. All I can say is this hotel was over and beyond may other establishments we have been to. Dealing with Karinda the wedding Coordinator, is a dream. From the moment she took over from the past girl she was professional, welcoming and... More

Stayed here on a business trip, and its a very nice business hotel. Not per say located in central Melbourne, but then again things are very easily accessible as the tram runs right in front of the hotel. Rooms are very cosy and clean. Food is your typical business hotel type of food. After all you don't come here to... More

The location of this hotel is excellent with the tram stop outside the door.The room was large although an older style but still very clean and a comfortable bed, Breakfast was a buffet and good but we weren't advised that the coffee my partner ordered would be charged for, separate fom the breakfast charge,...

However, I'm afraid the properties location also works against it - it's just too noisy for me. Having requested a room in a quiet location when booking... More

I stayed at this pathetic excuse for a "hotel" on 13th April 2013, for a friend's wedding. Now, where do I start. 1. Coming from interstate, I made my booking and arranged for an early check-in the day of the wedding, via email. Lo and behold, when I arrive at 9am, surprise surprise, my room "wasn't ready". So I tottle... More

We booked in on a great Wotif special rate. The king room had a nice outlook over the park, resonably quite but the room while clean and comfortable, was tired and in need of a renovation. friendly and helpful staff, breakfast was ok, but nothing special. Well located in Carlton, easy walk to Vic Market and restaurants

My partner and I had the misfortune of having dinner at their "Blue Bar and Grill". The food was overpriced and poorly prepared. My partner had "Salt and Pepper Calamari" which would be better described as rubber. My safron battered flathead filets had bones and the quality wasn't up to nearby Lygon Street's fish shop standard. In fact, bypass this... More

Booked the nite 2 weeks in advance and changed the nite one week before we went so3 weeks in advance when we arrived I asked were the pool was and. Was told that it was not open to us due to a wedding? And the duty manager who could hardly speak English was confused as why I needed to know... More
