Multiple reviewers explicitly called the rooms clean and appreciated toiletries; a few minor issues (fridge fullness, buffet clearing) noted but overall cleanliness is good for the hotel's tier.
Service
7.6
Service is mixed: several comments praise friendly and helpful staff, but multiple reports cite inconsistent reception (answering phone oddly, understaffed, lacked local knowledge) and lack of warmth.
Location
9
Location repeatedly praised (near North Sydney Oval, harbour walks, good views and balconies); access/entrance signage and steep site are minor detractors but overall location is a strong positive.
Room Quality
8
Rooms described as well-decorated with comfortable beds and balconies, but there are complaints about old/cramped rooms in some cases, noisy or ineffective air conditioning, and poor roll-out beds.
Amenities
8.2
Amenities like balconies, toiletries, nearby cafes, bag storage and an onsite cafe were appreciated; limited fridge space and lack of some expected bar options noted but overall amenities meet expectations.
Value for Money
9
Multiple reviewers explicitly state the hotel offers great value for money and good room size/value; a few charges (parking) were seen as expensive but value perception is generally high.
Food and Beverage
7.4
Food and beverage is mixed: some praise breakfast, Wattle cafe and restaurant items; others report limited breakfast hours, poor/unclean fruit, limited dairy-free options and subpar dinner quality on occasion.
Overall Experience
7.8
Overall impressions are mixed-to-positive: many guests enjoyed location, comfort and value, while recurring issues (service inconsistency, AC/noise, signage/parking) lowered overall satisfaction for some.

Pros:

The decor and standard of the rooms. Great location, view and value for mone

Cons:

I called reception early morning the day we checked in and a lady kept just answering the phone with “hello” and not able to answer out questions. Was very strange. Called back a few hours later and was properly greeted on the phone and assisted.

Pleasant and cost wise value for money
Pros:

Excellent location with nice big rooms and all that you need for a short term stay. Also being able to open doors to a small balcony allowed for great airflow and overlooked the garden. Friendly domestics and attentive staff. Lulus cafe next door fantastic!

Cons:

Found breakfast window very limited time wise. Also we did have trouble finding the entrance - at the end of a drive way with no obvious footpath or signage.

Fair clean stay. No frills or customer service.
Pros:

Provides breakfast. Nice modern bathroom. Appreciated the late check out of 11am.

Cons:

Reception staff were polite however lacked customer service and local knowledge. Seemed reception was understaffed. The roll out bed provided was extremely hard and uncomfortable. Buffet breakfast nice, clearing of plates didn’t occur.

Dont think i will stay again, unsatisfactory experience
Pros:

bed was comfortable

Cons:

Rooms looked old and cramped. Air conditioning did not work in the bedroom and it was like sitting in an oven. Breakfast was poor, fruits were not fresh, minimal options for diary free. Parking was too expensive. Pillows were too high and not comfortable.

The stay was average not what we expected from the Rydges chain
Pros:

The location to the North Sydney Oval , although we didn’t think much of the hill.
The room was clean and the staff were friendly

Cons:

The Car Parking
The unreliable lift from carpark to required floor ..
We did not appreciate the literature re our accommodation being on the TV
Apart from breakfasts which were good the other meals we had being dinner were not of restaurant quality and the quality of the meals and choices were below par. A Caesar Salad was badly prepared and presented, the worst I have ever had.
