We had a great stay. The big drawback was that the fire alarm went if 3 times within the day (twice in middle of the night). Once we weee asked to vacate the rooms. Eventually all three times it was a false alarm. Also, they did not have towels in the gym. I went and told the front desk about it and they said they would send someone with the towels. But no one ever came.

This is an average hotel. It’s located in a convenient area with good access to transport. I would advise people who have back issues not to stay, the beds are incredibly soft and I left a day before I was meant to because I could no longer sleep in the bed. If you like a soft bed that’s not an issue. The food selection at breakfast is good but unfortunately to quality is not. Hot foods are cold, you have to pay for decent coffee, and milk is warm. I ordered room service twice for evening meals and it turned up cold. The staff do a good job and are friendly but are obviously let down in various areas. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel as you can get better options at a similar price elsewhere in the city with much better food options.

Great accommodation
Rydges Sydney Central was a lovely place to stay overnight. Everything you need and it even had its own cinema to watch a Christmas movie. The hotel rooms have plenty of space and there’s a tea/coffee room you can use to heat up food in the microwave and sit down to watch tv in quietness. The buffet breakfast is very good and there’s a small gym, nice indoor swimming pool and sauna.

Great location by the central station and walkable to Chinatown and darling harbor. Lots of good cafes and restaurants nearby. Friendly, accommodating staff, the pool and spa pool were quiet and relaxing. Our room was comfortable and we never heard any noise from the hall or street. I’ve stayed at this hotel a few times and it’s always great.
