Across reviews of Rydges World Square, travellers consistently praise its central CBD location near transport, shops and dining, and often highlight friendly staff and comfortable, generally spacious rooms, while noting recurring street noise—especially on weekends.

Some areas feel dated and guests report occasional housekeeping lapses or maintenance issues such as leaking showers, broken blinds or loud air‑conditioning.

Wifi/Chromecast wouldn't work, had to clean the bath tub before using and the bath tub took half an hour to fill. Staff were understanding when I complained but ultimately I would not have booked here.

Quick check in by helpful, friendly receptionist. Comfortable spacious lobby. Our deluxe twin room was spacious with 2 double beds and a good sized bathroom. We had a drink at the Sydney Cidery bar during happy hour. It was bustling with many patrons. We had dinner at the Amber Restaurant. The food was good and staff friendly and welcoming.

Lovely room, great location & wonderful bar in the hotel. Shame it closes so early. The only thing that was very frustrating was the parking fee. I looked on the website and read that it was $22 for over 2hours but we were charged $137 from 6pm to 11.30am the following day. This was way more than we expected and made a reasonably priced stay very expensive. We didn't park in the Rydges private parking area.

We have stayed at this Rydges two years ago and found it ideally located in Sydney. The rooms are nice and reasonably spacious, and housekeeping is generally good. We didn't have breakfast included this time and that proved expensive. Kaz's Cafe two doors up in Pitt St was good value if you don't want the full buffet. The hotel is still favoured by aircrews, so breakfast can be hectic. Staff are always nice. Only 2 lifts were working while we visited, but the staff seemed unaware and there were conferences at the time. Made for lengthy waits sometimes.

The public areas need renovations, carpet is tired and worn, walls need paint. The rooms are poorly configured, beds are the wrong end of the room. The bed he is in line with the door entrance, light from the hallway beamed in all night. The place needs some fixing up

My husband and I got no sleep over the two nights we stayed. Firstly, our room faced Pitt St and it was so noisy. I sleep with earplugs normally but I could still hear very clearly, the noise from emergency vehicles, people racing down the street or just people talking. Secondly, our blind was stuck. It seemed like the window was left open (and perhaps why we could hear all the noise more so) but had this blind stuck closed, so we couldn’t open it to even see. The buffet breakfast savoury options were not good. The Boiled sausages, hard bacon and scrambled eggs were unappetising. They use to do omelettes which saved the breakfasts from previous stays but they no longer do them. This was my second stay at this hotel. I had a hiccup the first time I stayed with my family when the hotel knew the number of guests they needed to accommodated us, but gave us a room that could not fit everyone. In solution to that, said they would ‘upgrade me’ to a bigger room, only to pay $50 extra and saying I’m unlikely to return.

Conveniently located. Sadly quite a bit of bars and clubs around the area which makes for some noise disturbances during the night. Recommend earplugs if you are a light sleeper, but it is not overbearing. Hotel is clean and has spacious rooms. However, dated in design, lots of carpets for those with allergies, and not well sound insulated doors. Overall an ok hotel for the price. Very friendly staff and a nice breakfast.

Have stayed several times at Rydges World Square and generally staff and services have been very good. Just a couple of comments about our last stay: 1. Good check-in process - front desk and luggage delivered to room. 2. Leaking toilet - reported on Saturday morning and rectified while we were out. 3. Housekeeping came to our room quite early, around 9am, to ask if our room was ready to be serviced and when we said no, we were asked when it would be ready. When we mentioned to the front desk, they advised that room cleaning generally started around 12 noon. 4. When we returned to our room in the evening we noted that only the bathroom towels and mat had been changed and bins emptied, but bed was not made and cups not washed.

(3 night). when we checked out, they told us that it was to go towards room service or hotel restaurant/bar. if we would've know we would have used it ehile we stayed there or came down for breakfast before cheching out. Very bad service . Totally disappointing 😞

Location was great & room was ok.Shocked at the staff & service standards.I was not accorded the VIP check in, they appeared surprised when I asked to check in, was told breakfast wasn’t included so missed breakfast for 2 days & Concierge was too busy chitchatting to assist with my 27&7kg luggage. Evening of 26/12 called reception to advise that I have the Expedia booking open which shows breakfast is included.Again I was told that it is not.So I asked do you want me to come down with my iPad to show you, he said yes, this was at 10pm.So I went down & initially he said it’s not in their system but then he checked Expedia & said it was & told me he had updated it.Why did he not check the Expedia when I called?When I went to breakfast the next day & again they told me breakfast is not included etc. Breakfast was at 7-10.30am yet I was refused omelette. When I queried I was told station closes at 10.15am.I reminded her about the breakfast times & looked at my watch & said it’s 10.14am.She pulled out her phone & said it’s 10.16.Yet they continued to take & bring out omelette orders after this exchange while I watched.Restaurant staff was extremely rude, grumpy, unprofessional & disrespectful.Overall not a pleasant experience & recommend every single staff member undertake basic training in hospitality.I have travelled quite extensively for work & pleasure & this was by far the worst hotel experience I have ever had.I realised albeit late why staff weren’t featured in reviews.
