Great location. Walking distance to Darling Harbour and most Sydney CBD attractions. Staff are friendly and helpful. There are a lot of great food options around.

Conveniently located near station, dining and darling harbour. Felt it to be pricy

Love the indoor pool, spa and suna. The quality of the buffet breakfast was excellent.

Staff were exceptionally friendly. Property is definitely starting to show its age - rusted pool surrounds, tiles missing from pool edge, door handles that don’t work properly, etc), amazing location - walking distance to shopping, darling harbour and so many restaurants!

Excellent breakfast , beautiful and clean. Sauna was not warm enough and a bit run down, and the pool was a bit cold for an indoor pool. Otherwise a great stay.

Does not have Sandle slipers

No complaints

perfect position very clean comfortable bedding very friendly staff will definitely be back

Nice hotel, garbage payment system.

Checkin was a disaster. They charged me. My account was debited but because their system is archaic they claimed they had not received the money. 10 days later after multiple ph calls by me to my bank and the hotel the matter was finally sorted out. They said the issue was their system froze when they did the transaction and they knew it was an issue prior, they had said that they have had this issue at reception with a particular eftpos machine before.The hotel was ok but the service with regard to paying was 1980's. I should have paid cash. I have travelled the world over a 10 year period and never had such an issue. Will never stay there again. The accounts people bordered on rude and I had been advised by reception at the hotel that I would have to pay again and that the original debit would disappear from my bank account after 7 days but according to my bank it takes 30 days. So I would have been out of pocket $2000 for a month. No compensation was offered for an issue that was not me or my bank but the hotel. Simply not good enough.

Great location and great room - nice pool!

Do not book a 2 bed apartment unless you want to be in a dark hole with a view of a brick wall and the back of buildings. The room also smelt weird/bad. The carpet was rippled and ripped. The cleaners threw out our bag of unopened groceries and then we were quizzed by staff and basically accused of lying - they did offer a breakfast but the inconvenience of having to walk back to the shops and having none of the specific foods one of our children would eat was a big inconvenience. The cleaners also did not clean the bathroom the first clean, meaning we had to have them come again the day after, meaning we could not take advantage of the dining room credit by forfeiting a clean. The pool area had a wafting sewerage aroma! Expensive for what it is…room types and what you get should be better advertised…would never stay here again

Clean but dated

In the Chinatown part of town so it’s very busy outside. However it is close to the town hall station. Room is dated especially the carpet. Small things such as only one light beside the bed and no switches for the main light near the bed. Overall very clean

Great location so close to ICC

Great venue if going to an event at the Convention Centre.

We found it a good base for exploring Sydney. Mainly choose it for the two bedroom apartment option. Lots of space and two bathrooms. Was clean but the apartment is starting to show its age. A good & reasonably (for Sydney) priced option.

I found the room was a good size for a hotel and the little kitchenette was a bonus. I liked having the balcony too. It was good to go outside and sit and have a drink.

Great location and walkable to Darling Harbour, shopping and many tourists attractions. We did not use the swimming pool, but it looks ok. The room (superior queen queen studio) is clean and well maintained. The kitchen works great for us. It would be perfect if self serve laundry machines are available.

Great staff

Great location for where I needed to go to the ICC theatre. Staff were nice and accommodating. Rooms were very clean and beds comfortable. Was a little disappointed , lots of rust in the pool area. Had trouble connecting to the chromecast even after following instructions provided.

👍

Back Again

Rydges Darling Square is conveniently located to public transport, Chinatown, Darling Harbour and Cockle Bay. It was a very comfortable hotel that offered a spacious room, comfortable bed and very good facilities. The staff were very quick to respond to requests we made of them. This is our second stay at the hotel and we would highly recommend it staying in Sydney.

The apartment felt depressing.

Efficient friendly service

Honestly lovely

The staff were friendly and helpful. We were able to keep our luggage there for the day while we went off exploring before catching a late flight home. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Walking distance to everything we wanted to do.

Customer Service was excellent. Room and cleanliness was great. Great proximity to City shopping and transport. Buffet breakfast was the only let down even though reasonably priced.

We stayed 2 nights at this hotel for our 20th anniversary it was good for us and the kids. The staffs were great very helpful they organised a baby cot for our little boy which was very helpful. Very close to shops and restaurants, we were able to walk to darling harbour Overall we were very happy with our stay.

Clean and neat, great service at reception.

No complaints about our stay. They only minor problem I wished the pool was a bit warmer to be able to swim in it and the spa abit cooler

Clean and tidy, super comfortable bed

I enjoyed our stay, friendly staff, good facilities and comfy beds. I wish it more obvious upon booking that there is no parking. Was not expecting to pay an additional $45 for parking off-site and walking with our luggage. There were some minor cleaning issues… hair in bathroom, kitchen dusty but otherwise good. Ducted air con didn’t seem to work well and even on lowest setting room still quite hot. Otherwise I enjoyed our stay!

Great location, close to Chinatown, Darling Harbour and George St. Lots of dining options close by. The Standard Apartment we stayed in was getting a bit dated, although clean and serviceable (Rm 606). However the air conditioner filter was caked in dust and didn't look like it has been cleaned in a while. This was rectified once we advised reception. The air conditioner itself didn't seem to cool the room down too. We made use of the swimming pool and spa, which were nice to have. I'd recommend the property, but perhaps a renovated Superior Apartment, if the budget allows

Great stay and convenient location

The hotel is central and convenient to everything i needed. Staff were lovely. Room was immaculate. I do wish hotels provided a jug of drinking water. I noticed most Sydney hotels dont do this however.

The staff were really lovely.

Loved how attentive, accommodating and friendly all the staff were. Any issues I had were promptly resolved with no fuss at all. Wonderfully priced for such a centralised area with all attractions and amenities in close walking distance and public transport easy for an out of stater like myself to navigate.

Very tired and in need of refurbishment.

Was a high level floor out f the way, quiet and very roomy

We loved the location, size of the room & pool/spa

We had an excellent stay. The room was great and the location was fine. Close to lots of eating spots and shopping. The only disappointment was the pool. It was cold and very outdated.

Easy access to local restaurant, train nearby and safe.

Great location. Spacious apartment! Friendly and helpful staff. Would stay there again!

Great location, staff helpful.

Location is convenient, it was a shame that the spa and sauna weren't working.

Well-equipped and spacious, in the heart of Sydney right near where I needed to be at Darling Harbour for a conference

Stayed in 2 bedroom/2 bathroom apartment. Comfortable beds. Very spacious. Just disappointed the spa was out of order. Indoor pool was nice but a couple degrees warmer would have been good.

Convenient and easy.

When arrived at property check in went well, got to our room which was small, smelly and dirty, with a view of a run down old building and rubbish yard. Went back to reception and said I booked a balcony suite and it took 1 hr to have correct room. Bedding was so uncomfortable and horrible. Blanket was simply a flat sheet and doona insert and another flat sheet on top. Pillows were like a bag of torn up materials. Location ok. Balcony suite eh better than the original room. Pool was meant to be heated to 28 degrees how ever felt maybe 18. Spa felt 120 degrees. Staff were nice and helpful. Room/facilities/Hotel 5/10.

The hotel was in walking distance from everything we wished to visit, Darling Harbour, the Fish Markets, the Pumphouse, The Chinese Gardens, China Town, The Capitol Theatre. The light rail was close by as was the Museum Station as we flew to Sydney.

Great stay. Appreciated the early check in to allow me to drop my bags to go explore.

Located close to China town and easy to get to light rail to get round the city; can’t beat the location of the hotel. However, lack of soundproofing means you can hear the traffic and people in the street outside and even the birds in the early hours; not so great for sleeping. When we checked in we weren’t told anything about the hotel amenities so we didn’t eat there or use the pool.

Staff were friendly and room was clean

The room is clean, spacious, modern and the staff are friendly, accommodating and very professional. Awesome experience and will stay there again!!!

Very close to everything

Great central location

Very close to light rail and Darling Harbour staff very helpful

High quality for reasonable price

First I need to say I was in an executive superior apartment (not much more), and review based on that. The apartment was great, spacious , clean , modern, serviced. The main room on Liverpool side does get some traffic noise, but the bedroom has a second glass pane added, thus being a quasi-double-insulated room. I had a balcony. The location is very convenient, all trains and the new trams etc are 5 mins walk. plenty places nearby for takeaway, or a Coles in basement at world square 5 mins walk. Easy to use lobby (meeting people etc as lifts all secured these days). Well worth the money.

Booked a 1 bedroom, asked if there was a sofa bed over the phone. No sofa bed, wanted me to pay $80 for a rollaway bed or have my 10 year old sleep on a love seat! They ended up proving the roll away bed free of charge but very misleading. I would not have booked the room if I knew there was no sofa bed.

Staff were lovely. Rooms were great, had all amenities. Only downfall was nowhere to stop out the front to drop off luggage, although there is a 5 minute drop-off down around the corner, and the hotel provides cheap parking in a nearby carpark.

Loved the rooms, best shower we have had in any hotel Just a pity there is no where to pull up and unload your luggage.

small footprint and near darling harbour

A location very close to Darling Harbour. You can walk easily into the centre of Sydney or there are very good transport links around. The breakfast was very nice and we had a good nights sleep. I had read a few reviews of it being a noisy location but we didn’t find this. Swimming pool is in need of modernisation but all very clean.

Loved how close our accommodation was to the key sites of the Sydney, easy walking distance to most areas.!

Good

Good

Great location for a stay in Sydney city

We had a comfortable stay. The hotel was clean and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Perfect for a few days in Sydney.

We had a great stay and it is a roomy well located option. The staff were great and really helpful. We were though disappointed at the price of a roll away bed which at $80 a night on the top of the bill felt like gouging, and will choose a better family option next time

central of the city, best location

Fantastic two bedroom for our family of five. Had everything we needed around the corner and amazing night life with china town just five minutes away. Kitchen in apartment does not have much but it was all good for what we needed.

Easy access from the train station and to the CBD and Darling Harbour. The spa wasn't working and the pool wasn't great, but overall good.

Great location, close to train and light rail. Lots of dinning options around. Lovely quiet property.

Our whole stay was wonderful

Check-in very poor. Booked two x 2-brm apartments for family group which included a 3yr old and a 1yr old. Arrived 20 mins earlier than the 2pm check-in so asked if rooms were available and was assured that one room was, just waiting for housekeeping to finish. Sat down in lobby to wait. 2pm arrived and i just glimpsed young lady who had served us leaving for the day! No hand-over, no nothing. Approached guy who had taken over and he gave us the key to one room. The other was not going to be available for another hour because they’d had to ‘shampoo’ the carpets! (FYI, there was no evidence of this in the room). No apology either. I can overlook any shortcomings (like the broken bedroom tv or the keys that worked intermittently) if customer service is good, but not this time. The only saving grace is the luggage storage and the lovely, well-appointed apartments.

Good place to be

We had a nice stay, just one night. The room had a few broken things which had not been attended to. However comfy beds, clean, roomy and pleasant staff.

I found the room had a lot of dust on top of things. I’m a bit of clean freak and the dust was piled on tops of things. So I think it would be great for cleaners to take another 5mins to just dust to top of things in the room. The customer service was excellent so thanks very much. Check in was easy and check out was easy as well.

Really nice clean room. Comfy bed. Great location, close to darling harbour

Very nice location, half way between Chinatown and QVB. Good for night vibes in the city

It was a wonderful place to stay and would stay there again

Some room issues that got fixed quickly when i said they were unacceptable

Rydges darling was amazing. Staff were amazing. Bed was comfortable. Warm showers. I would recommend them to anyone

A great accomodation for Three females, safe area for walking and Dining options ,very near to Darling harbour and Japanese Gardens near by worth a visit Room So comfort and clean

Pretty noisy area. Make sure you bring earphones to sleep. Everything else was great.

Comfortable, convenient, but dated

Location is fantastic for exploring Sydney. Executive apartment was very spacious, comfortable and clean. The whole apartment however is quite dated and the shower desperately needs attention, it's past it's lifespan.

Old property. Not clean. Only location is good. No carpark as advertised.

Nocomaints. Great location foe ICC Darli g HRboud Chinatown a d CBX PP

Great central location to get around cbd and darling harbour

Nice hotel for 2 day conference stay. Like the kitchenette option. Close to chinatown and eateries, Coles and shops

Location ok. Noisy

My family stayed there happily. The size of room is perfect for a family. The property is good maintained. Everything is good, but the room tidying up service is not perfect.

The property was in a brilliant area for seeing the town. We arrived by taxi from the airport and it cost $60, we were a little but disappointed that one staff member booked a taxi for our return to the airport (it was a guy he knew) and it cost $115. I think we got ripped off big time. The female staff members at the Rydges were so helpful. Showing us maps etc and giving tips on where to go. Thanks girls!

Clean place, nice rooms with space, well looked after, friendly staff, close to public transport and restaurants. Stayed for three nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. House keeping needs some attention.

Enjoyed our stay

Expedia's system had an issue and we were told that our booking has been cancelled when we arrived. But the receptionist was very helpful and patient, she rebooked us without getting confirmation from Expedia. Very grateful, otherwise it would be very hard for us to deal with the angry and tired kids!

All services were excellent

Broken doors, mouldy all through the showers, dust everywhere, aircon vents full of dust, cigarette burn holes in the kitchen. Overall with how much you pay to stay in this apartment, id expect a lot more. The condition of the apartment was overall terrible.

No designated area for smokers. Staff were lovely and very helpful

Room and service was amazing

Location is great. It was very quiet which was a bonus for being so central. The room was good but the bathroom needs some updating. Unfortunately we had problems with the TV for our entire stay. We asked for help but nothing was done about it. The indoor pool is too cold to be able to swim outside of summer. The coffee at breakfast was terrible, cold both days. The location is the main positive of this hotel.

It’s an average. Bath sink hose/tap was broken.There is cooking area but no pans provided in service apartment.
