At Rydges Mount Panorama Bathurst, travellers praise the standout location on the racetrack with sweeping balcony views and generally spacious rooms, alongside many mentions of friendly staff, while several reviews note dated areas, maintenance issues, and inconsistent cleanliness.

Dining feedback is mixed, with closures or limited menus at times, occasional long waits, and higher prices, though some guests enjoyed good breakfasts and meals.

We had a nice stay but we were not aware of the pool closure during winter months and was not informed at check in.Found out the hard way with three kids dressed in there swimmers after a 4 hour drive with a sign on the pool door informing of the closure. We felt we were a bit mislead.

Parking was a huge issue as a number of large tow vehicles and trailers took up multiple available spaces . A function on upper level like a wedding or similar was very loud on Saturday night and at 1:30am the Smoke alarm system went off for 20 mins with atleast 10 PA announcements asking for the night cleaner to report to the front desk . After 10 mins of it going off I rang the front desk after seeing no one in the hall. to ask if we needed to evacuate - then the announcements started

Unhappy that there was no lift access to get to room which meant that luggage had to be carried up and down 2 flights of fire stairs with bad back and knee problems. Ceiling in shower was too low. 6ft husband was hitting his head on ceiling and had to bend over to wash hair. No rails to support climbing into and out of raised bath/shower. Booked buffet breakfast, when arrived at restaurant was told there was no buffet (even though it was prebooked) and was told food was being plated in kitchen and served to table. Food came out cold and in varying quantities that we could not select. Room was neat, clean and well appointed.

Although the location was great, and exciting for our kids as it is right on the Mount Panorama race track, we were disappointed with our stay. Unfortunately our room felt unhygienic due to multiple reasons. The cutlery and glassware appeared unclean and placed back into the cupboards, so I needed to wash everything before use. One glass had been placed back into the cupboard with a big crack down it, so clearly this wasnt checked. The bathroom had the most putrid sewerage smell coming from the drains and toilet and it that made us feel sick for the entire stay. Because the bathroom is open to the bedroom, it made the entire apartment smell and unpleasant to be in. However, the worst part was opening our children's made up sofa bed to find a doona that should have never been used. The doona was covered in blood stains and big yellow bodily fluid stains. See photos. This is absolutely unacceptable and we were disgusted and extremely concerned that the cleaning staff felt it ok to use when they made up the bed. I went down to reception to speak to staff about this and the young boy just said "Oh yes that is pathetic" and brushed me off. I also told him about the smell and he said he would send cleaning staff up to change bedding and put something in the drain. At 2pm, staff finally came to our room and changed the bedding, yet couldn't fix the smell.

Had to wait 15min for receptionist to come to reception and check us in. Having 1 staff member on duty in the whole hotel on a Saturday night at 9.30 is unacceptable for a supposed 4 Star hotel. We requested a room with 2 beds, instead we had a room with 1 bed and a sofa bed, which would have been ok, except no linen whatsoever was provided. The bathroom was simply disgusting, no other way to put it. Mould build up everywhere.

Overall, the property was okay. The surface around the bench top was very dusty and stained. Dirty dishes were loaded in the dishwasher and needed to be cleaned properly. Unable to heat and cook anything. A dirty tray with leftover food was left in corridors for over 12 hours, and no one bothered to pick it up.

It’s a great place in an amazing area but we dropped our phone behind the bed and the dirt and muck build up was unsightly. Shower has not been cleaned properly in a long while. The people who work there were amazing and very helpful but I think the Rydges is due for an upgrade or a spring clean.

We loved that it was right on Mount Panorama, as we had an event on there. The room is not soundproof as advertised, there was a party going on above us till 4:00am being very noisy. The hotel could provide a few extra basics, such as bath salts to use in the spa bath, also the spa bath jets aren’t heating ones, so you need to keep adding hot water. As we had a room with a kitchen, some cleaning spray & scourers would have helped but the biggest complaint would be that there is no Netflix, Stan or not even google chrome provided, in this day and age this should be an essential for a hotel!

Don't really have anything positive to say about this experience, it started with a nearly 3 hour delay to check in, reception was grubby, rooms weren't much better, we had ordered a king & single room, got a king and an unmade sofa bed, had to ask twice for it to be made up. Food was seriously overpriced and not great, my starter arrived after my main meal, the garlic bread was good the best experience for Rydge's at Bathurst was the check out as we got to leave.

This was our second stay at this accommodation. After checking in, I was informed that we would be in room108. I didn’t realize that I had to use the stairs to go down one floor! I had luggages and other things to carry. The front team should have asked if I was okay to go down stairs with the luggages.

Stayed 1 night. Great view of the track. Big rooms. Shower over bath with slippery surface. Great kitchenette with glasses, cutlery etc. Thursday night didn’t eat at restaurant as realised no one eating and everyone looking at the kitchen. Buffet breakfast Friday morning, arrived at 8.30 and was told they’d decided to close at 9 because weren’t very busy. Food was great that we quickly ate after waiting for hot food that wasn’t in buffet while watching families being turned away?? Then got a bit of a shock at checkout that 1 hot and 1 continental breakfast was $48.

I really think they should have told us about this as we had driven a long way and didn’t want the hassle of having to go and find something.

Accommodation on Conrod Straight was pretty awesome, however, restaurant was very disappointing. Entree Salt and Pepper squid was totally unedible, so salty, we were offered a free dessert in return, but did not accept. Main we ordered seasoned vegetable with a steak and lamb shank meal. The meals were ok but the vegetable didn't arrive, we were once again offered free dessert, but who would have been willing to make a third attempt. Expensive meal for what we actually ate. Had to walk down fire stairs to get to our room as the elevator did not service this area, the stairwell was not very clean at all. Our room was quite nice but light in the bathroom was terrible if you wanted to do makeup at all.
