Stayed and Rydges Sydney Central as a Redbull BC One competitor, exceptional service, very friendly staff, reception helped us with a lot of questions. Rooms nice and bright, we requested a baby cot just before arrival and it was there, our baby loved it. 🥰 Thank you for excellent stay and see you next time. Cheers, Lana
Have stayed at Rydges Central a couple of times and have found all staff to be very welcoming, friendly, respectful and accommodating. The rooms and facilities are well maintained, clean and the in house and event and Manna restaurant catering is excellent. The cost is on the expensive side but it is a quality hotel located in the heart of the city, so it’s to be expected. A small issue of note is that the lifts are small and slow, which creates congestion during peak check in and out times.
Rydges Sydney Central is a perfect location in the city, right by central station it is perfect for convenience and accessibility to all parts of Sydney. The hotel offers a great experience with all the staff willing to go above and beyond to assist you - Bikram at the front desk was so helpful at check in! The breakfast buffet at Manna Loft offers a broad variety of food catering to everyone. The staff constantly refreshing to ensure quality and checking that guests had all they needed. I cannot recommend Rydges enough! We will definitely stay again.
I recently visited the hotel and wanted to share a special thank you to the security staff member named Mohamed. From the moment I arrived, he was extremely helpful, professional, and welcoming. He went out of his way to assist me and made sure everything was smooth and comfortable. It’s not often you come across someone who genuinely cares about helping guests, but Mohamed definitely does. His friendly attitude and willingness to help made a really positive impression on my visit. The hotel is lucky to have someone like Mohamed on their team. Thank you again for the excellent service!
Great Location, only a 5 min walk to Central Station and 10 mins to Chinatown, 20 mins to Darling Harbour. Upon checking in we noticed that we were not offered the same as other guests checking in - complimentary breakfast, complimentary upgrades. The staff didn't even notify us that there was a kids play room or kids activities that was happening during our stay. We happened to find out on the last day of our stay. They didn't even bother to tell us which lift to use to get to our room as the hotel is long and splits into 2 sides. The beds are way too soft and the showers don't drain fast enough to have a nice proper shower. The rooms are very spacious, clean and a/c worked well and did not feel stuffy, however there was a lack of amenities - no toothbrush/toothpaste, comb. We had to change rooms because of the bed and was asked to bring our luggage down so they can get the other room ready. I had some yoghurt and kimchi that needed to be kept in the fridge and kindly asked them to keep it in the fridge until we came back just after lunch, but unfortunately I had to throw it out as they left it at room temperature (mind you it was 40 degrees that day). The pool looked much nicer in the photo than in person, it was very cold, my young daughter couldn't be in there for more than 20 mins as her lips started to turn blue, however spa seemed quite nice though I wasn't able to fully appreciate it with the little one. Also, if you needed some towels for the pool, you had to go all the way to reception to ask for it before going back up to the pool. You don't find out until you get to the pool area. Overall, great location if you needed a place next to the train station, but the service is quite poor. The hotel is quite old and run down so don't expect anything fancy.
