This hotel is absolutely fantastic! It's located right in the heart of Sydney's CBD, making it incredibly convenient to get everywhere. Shopping for high-end brands like Arc'teryx is a breeze. Seriously, I hardly had to walk to any of the attractions I wanted to visit. Plus, the train and bus stations are right outside the door. If I ever come back to Australia, I would definitely stay here again. I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone, though it is a bit on the pricey side.

We stayed in the Rydges World Square family room for three nights and had a very comfortable experience. The two-bedroom layout was spacious, clean, though sharing a single bathroom among four adult was a minor inconvenience. A thoughtful gesture from the hotel made our stay even more special—they surprised my son with chocolate treats and a birthday card upon check-in, which we truly appreciated.

The location is excellent, close to many attractions, and the convenience of having a shopping mall right downstairs with restaurants and a supermarket added to the ease of our stay. Overall, it was a delightful and comfortable experience.

Arrived internationally, turned right out of the terminal, crossed the road, and it was indeed very close. We arrived at night and stayed one night before catching an early morning domestic flight the next day. It was a five-minute walk to the free shuttle bus stop, which was super convenient. Checked baggage for domestic departures was very slow; it took 45 minutes for the queue and security check. After security, there were plenty of food options.

Stayed at The Capitol Hotel Sydney and had a pleasant experience overall. The hotel is in a fantastic central location, close to public transport, Chinatown, and major attractions, making it very convenient for exploring the city. Rooms were clean, modern, and comfortable, though slightly compact. The staff were friendly and helpful, and overall service was smooth. A great option for a short stay in Sydney, especially if location is your priority.

First, the negatives. About half an hour after we checked in, a male staff member swiped his card and opened our room door. He said he was delivering hangers, but we hadn't requested any, so perhaps they were meant for another room and delivered by mistake. It was quite a shock regardless. I didn't report it to the staff during my stay, but afterwards, I made sure to double-lock the door every time I entered the room (before, I only locked it at night).

Now, for the positives. The location is excellent, very close to Central Station with many bus and light rail options nearby, making getting around super convenient. I stayed on the eighth floor, and while I could still hear traffic noise at night, which was a bit loud, the room's soundproofing was otherwise good, as I couldn't hear any noise from next door. The room was also very spacious, with a fridge and a safe. Overall, I recommend it.

We stayed for 8 nights with our 3-year-old toddler, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish.

Location: Perfect. We walked easily from the train station after arriving from Sydney Airport. The hotel is within a 10-minute walk to Darling Harbour, about 15 minutes to Wildlife Sydney and SEA LIFE, and right next to Darling Square park. Plus, Coles, Priceline, Chemist Warehouse, and everything else we needed were just minutes away.

Room layout: We booked a one-bedroom apartment with a living room, balcony, large kitchen, and lovely bathroom. The space was huge – ideal for a family. The dining table was a real bonus, and the kitchen had everything we needed. I was able to cook breakfast and dinner for our toddler each day, so we didn’t have to eat out every night. That saved us time, money, and hassle.

Service: Housekeeping came almost every day, and the customer service from the entire team was fantastic – everyone was so friendly and helpful.

If you’re travelling with a young child and want space, convenience, and a welcoming atmosphere, I would absolutely recommend Rydges Darling Square Apartment Hotel. We’ll be back!

I thoroughly enjoyed my overnight stay at Rudy’s North Sydney. The lovely man who checked me into the Hotel was so helpful. The following morning the host of the breakfast restaurant was also very friendly and helpful. I would stay here again. Rooms are renovated with nice products.

Upon arrival the room smelled like stale cigarettes and stagnant water which was extremely unpleasant. I had to prop the door open with my suitcase to get fresh air in with the window open. I ended up going to the supermarket to buy carpet deodoriser and air freshener to get the smell out. I could still smell it when I left after 2 days. When I went to get into bed it was very obvious the bed had been slept in and the pillowcase had not been changed. I had to strip the bed and make it with what was left over with the sheet that goes over the doona. I know it was NYE and paid over $600 a night for the room, but wasn’t expecting the room to not smell ok and have fresh linen.

Poor service, poor attitudes, poor food, and a tired old hotel that probably needs to be revamped and get rid of their staff. Don’t waste your time.

Shouldn't ask too much for services, value for money ! Hotel is clean but no cleaning on Sunday !!!!! It's far from city centre, however it's OK with us by renting a car, the hotel provide free parking, so it is beneficial to customer.

I had a great stay at Rydges Rotorua, part of EVT Hotels. The location is fantastic, especially being close to Whakarewarewa Forest and many of Rotorua’s key attractions, making it convenient for both relaxation and exploration.

The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, with a nice view and all the essential amenities. The bed was very comfortable, and the overall atmosphere of the hotel felt welcoming and relaxing. One of the highlights was the geothermal heated outdoor pool, which was perfect for unwinding after a long day.

The staff were friendly and attentive, always ready to assist with any requests. The on-site restaurant offered good quality food, and the breakfast selection was satisfying.

Overall, Rydges Rotorua delivers a solid and enjoyable experience with good value for money. I would happily recommend it to anyone visiting Rotorua for a comfortable and convenient stay.

The overall experience was very disappointing. The service desk was always occupied since there was only one staff member available, which made check-in and any requests very time-consuming. The biggest issue was the hot water kettle in the room—it was in terrible condition, with visible dirt and stains. I needed to boil water for my baby, but it was impossible to use safely. This was a nightmare and left me very dissatisfied with the stay.

Easy to locate and is inside the airport. Handy for those late night arrivals and early morning departures. Have booked to stay again on my return home to Australia

Seriously lacking in hospitality. Asked for a latte at 5:57am and was told “ we don’t  open until 6am”
No newspapers available. Bellhop service virtually nonexistent. Room service was good. Front desk agent untrained and unsupervised. No greeting upon entering the hotel or restaurant. Great mixologist at the bar. 
Kudos to Andreas the only friendly person we met not really sure what his position is there but he was great, helpful and kind to two old ladies with multiple bags. 
No hand soap in the bathroom and towels were not changed. 
$45.00 per day valet car service seems a bit much given that there really isn’t another option. We stayed in a “superior double double “ Not sure what superior meant. One of the beds was hard up against a wall. Less than a meter between end of beds and desk/tv stand. Entertainment system did not offer any pay as you go options just a bunch of sky. No Netflix type options. I will not be recommending this hotel to anyone and most certainly will not be going back!
