Buffet breakfast (included) had great variety and was well replenished. 11am standard check out time was appreciated. Comfortable room, also well stocked. Thank you toiletries (sandalwood) Cons: Pool/spa area on level 4 had run out of towels, bar closed quite early for a Saturday night and main lift was a bit slow and crowded (the other lifts down the corridor and around the corner was much quicker).

Booked late after a last minute change of work plans, and found this within budget. Absolutely exceeded expectations. Room on 6th Floor (an upgrade) was great. Spacious, well appointed, comfortable bed and - the standout - very nice effective black blinds. Slept perfectly. Gym was good, but busier than other cdb hotels I use regularly. Pool nice, sauna was out of order. Got a couple of drinks vouchers through hotels.com Silver status and was able to use the m in the Brewery next door. Massive bonus, that. Good atmosphere, better than a regular hotel bar. Great grilled fish too. Will stay again when available.

Great staff, were upfront that both the pool and spa were inoperable (the heating). Unfortunately the primary reason i picked here was its close to the train and having a 10 year old the pool is a must. Pool was so cold that he wasn’t keen…… Already booked and paid and this place would be fine if it was working but dealing with a disappointed child and finding extra kid pleasing activities instead was a struggle. Not the staffs fault they were great!

セントラル駅近くで立地は申し分ないです。ただ、部屋の清掃に問題あります。インしてすぐにカーペットに明らかに自分達以外の髪の毛が落ちていました。普段の清掃は、タオル交換だけじゃないかと思うほど、ホコリがテーブル、ベットサイドテーブルに残ってました。滞在中、掃除がしてなかった日があり、フロントに伝えてたところ、ハウスキーピング係はもう帰宅したとの事で別のスタッフが急遽、お掃除に来てくれました。フロントの方の接客、サービスは良かったです。清掃が気になる方には、このホテルはお勧め出来ません。

We were moved to another room with no fuss, so the service was excellent.

Really great stay. Breakfast was delicious. Friendly staff, nice rooms, clean, bed was super comfortable. Only downfall was the elevator takes forever and there isn’t an easy staircase to use with the floor levels unlocked so you have to use elevator. Also our AC was making a weird noise when we first got there and then the next day it wouldn’t turn on which was a bummer but at least we were visiting during winter! We loved the brewery that is connected to the hotel. Good food and drinks! Transportation walkable and easy. Good location. Happy with stay.

A satisfactory stay. The hotel is conveniently located near central station, and is surrounded by a plethora of food options in Surry Hills. Rydges were also kind enough to permit earlier check-in. However, the hotel is a bit rundown, with slow lifts and outdated rooms; with thin walls/windows making it noisy. Unfortunately the pool/sauna area was also consistently occupied with too many people, making it too cramped to enjoy the facilities.

We were worried about the traffic noise but were lucky to get a large room on the 9th floor with a balcony and it was very quiet. Location is great. Close to the Central Station and the tram. We were walkable to Chinatown and the harbor and the Star Casino. Our one complaint is the housekeeping schedule was inconsistent and some days we never did get service but we were credited for this when we checked out. Breakfast was included and it was very good.

This property’s elevator was painfully slow. We booked a double bed room and all they did was unzip the mattress in two and push it less than a foot apart from each other we might as well have booked a one bed. The bathroom did not have a fan and it was an extremely narrow space . The room was all very awkward and loud.

Location is good within walking distance from city center or other transportation means. Though, the streets around the hotel are not clean and are a bit uncomfortable at evening time. The king bed is actually 2 twin beds together, so it's uncomfortable in the middfor a aolo person

Conveniently located hotel. Close to Central and in Surry Hills. Disappointed that I didn’t get the welcome drink for two upon arrival, it was only for one. Even more disappointed at checkout, waited in line for 15mins, had two people who arrived after me served before me. I had a flight to catch so had to leave. Contacted the hotel for my invoice a few days later and they failed to send me the invoice. The service is normally better than this, as I’ve stayed here many times.

The buffet breakfast was fantastic, and all the staff were friendly and polite—especially the Filipina staff member (I believe her name was Donna). However, during dinner service, we chose to dine at the hotel instead of going out, but after waiting several minutes, no one came to assist us. It appeared that only two staff members were managing the entire dinner service.
