A lovely mini Easter break 🤎🤎
Pros:

We love everything at the Rydges. From the location to the staff, the decor, helpfulness of the amazing staff. Everything. And particularly this trip, the gorgeous Easter activities they had running in the foyer.

Cons:

I’m really picking here but the lack of body location was disappointing. Adding the matching body lotion in the bathroom would be nice.

Fantastic service from the team.
My bed was comfortable, had a great view and upon arrival we were greeted with a bottle of champagne!
The atmosphere at check in is beautiful and everything was very clean. This hotel is in a prime location to everything we had planned in the city. I will be back again!

Brilliant hotel with world class facilities. Stayed 2 nights and everything was perfect. Also had a terrific dinner at Bossley (in house restaurant) and couldn’t fault that either. Will definitely be back!

Would definitely stay here again. The position, the pool and the room make it a great venue for us.
Pros:

Staff so helpful with the TV remote and the air conditioning, neither of which we could get to work.
Pool on rooftop so warm for a swim.
Afternoon sun in our room.

Cons:

Key cards did not work on second day so down to the desk to get new ones.
Chai Latte in cafe not hot and coffee bitter.

Wouldn’t stay here again
Pros:

Location is fantastic especially if you’re going to the Princess theatre

Cons:

We couldn’t control the temperature in our room and couldn’t sleep the first night as it was so hot in our room. They had maintenance fix it the next day but we were exhausted. The second night it was very noisy, lots of banging so not very soundproof. Rooms are also very small compared to other hotels.
