Spent a night here with my wife and her parents. We arrived before check-in and the staff couldn't have been more helpful in accommodating us. The rooms were a standard hotel size and clean and modern. Great view of the Sky Tower. Very centrally located in the middle of Auckland city. Breakfast was brilliant - many choices for everyone. more

We booked a Bed and Breakfast package at Rydges for our wedding anniversary on the advice of a friend and were very pleased we did. The hotel is very centrally located just a few minutes walk to Queen St, Sky City and the Viaduct. We had our car valet parked - a bit pricey at $28 overnight, but convenient and... more

I always stay at the Rydges in Auckland and am never disappointed. It is well located to the main street (Queen) a couple of blocks from the casino and a short walk to the harbour which has some fantastic restaurants. The hotel offers great value, through the priority guest system I received a room upgrade and free internet during my... more

Our room was fantastic. The hotel was clean, quiet, and close to everything. We were able to walk to the viaducts (harbour), and the buses ran just a block away. I could lay in bed and watch people jump off the skytower. It was a great room for the price. The valet parking was fairly expensive, you had to pay... more

14 of us stayed at Rydges in Auckland as part of an extended family vacation. We had just arrived from a 20 hour overseas flight. We unpacked, and went out for a walk around town and a bite to eat. When we returned, my 11 year old son's brand new iPod was missing. It had been plugged in to be... more

We do appreciate that this was very inconvenient and not what was expected of our hotel. We are sorry to hear that the Ipod was not located after our discussion.

Really good location, but we were not told about the building site out the window during our stay. Slightly dodgy taxi service at this hotel. On leaving, we enquired about a bus to the airport, and were told by the hotel reception that it was worth getting the taxi as it was only $35. We left our bags with the... more

Touring by bicycle with your own bicycle can be difficult sometimes when it comes to arriving and departing a country. When we arrived at Rydges by shuttle from the (distant) airport, we were greeted by friendly, helpful staff. They lugged our bikeboxes up to a baggage store and made space available for us to assemble our bikes, and then stored... more

The hotel was a very small and ordinary property; acceptable only for business travellers. While its centrally located, the immediate neighbourhood seemed a bit dodgy. The concierge services were quite good and responsive, the front desk was very slow. Room service was ordinary, at best. more
