Reviews for Rydges North Sydney
Sudeep Khadka
We went to Sydney for a family trip and this hotel was perfectly located. The apartment was excellent. The bar service and breakfast were perfect. The reception staff Mr Sujan Panthi and team went beyond their responsibilities to ensure our stay was memorable. We will be back again.
Sandie Hammond
Clean, tidy, and has recently been refurbished. The saff are absolutely amazing. In particular the sales manager went above and beyond to help us when we were struggling to find transport with our luggage and 2 young children. She got her own vehicle and without hesitation took us down to our cruise connection. Amazing hotel with even better people. Highly recommend!

Felt a let-down for a 4-star hotel. There was an Indian middle-aged man at reception. Very rude. No smiles, barely looked up to say anything while checking in - instead guiding me into the auto check-in machine and dropping a leaflet at the desk. Also felt like a big inconvenience to ask him to bring up some plates. Had to call twice. Most other staff were nice enough. Rooms were good. Housekeeping daily clean was just clearing the bins and putting in new towels and tidying up the bed. One of the days they made all sorts of scuff marks or some black marks on the bathroom tiles and living room floors. Didn't change the shower gel or shampoo in two days. Breakfast buffet is very basic, not worth the discounted $27 we paid. Location is nice.

Reviews for families with kids!! This hotel is very modern and nice so you don't have to worry about any cleanliness and features over here - it's really good. Aircon wasn't working - we advised them and they moved us to another room so no complaints here. Parking doesn't suit the hotel because the hotel is so brand new while the parking looks very run down with such a small space. Service seems like they really are working with what they've got so can't fault them if they don't meet every little need - higher ups need to work on getting more workers and treating them well. Seen reviews regarding house keeping - on the information provided upon checkin, they tell us house keeping services finish at 2pm so keep that in mind. Overall, getting here wasn't bad at all - very easy, people just complaining for no reason. You see the Rydges sign and just follow through with the drive way & you're there.

Great location. We stayed here last minute for an urgent family visit, however much different than pictures. Place is hard as signage is by a nice new building but it’s an older building behind. Parking is cramped and dirty, and air con vent was huge and hole from it appeared to be leaking in the garage. The luggage cart was bulky and old, hard to push as wheels wonky; our things fell off and broke a number of items. We cleaned (since told the cleaners passing by but no one did anything) and were afraid someone might hurt themselves on the glass and with the wet. Asked cleaner to take out the mini bar since we needed the fridge for medicine and don’t need chocolates and wine for kiddos but had to ask 3 people all who ‘needed to talk to a manager’ so didn’t do anything until I kept asking. Finally someone removed the items, but fridge was barely cool. Rooms said 3 people but only 2 twin beds and tiny space for anything else. It didn’t work with kiddos and the suites weren’t available so were told to checkout the next day, and they would refund the rest. Stains on carpets, loud cleaning during the day, doors slamming; could hear tv and conversations in other rooms and air con wasn’t working. When I complained around ~7pm they stated they had a repairman out and said if I’d told them earlier he could’ve fixed it. They then spent 30 minutes cleaning a filter which they said was to fix air con. It was slightly better but not working and we were just too tired. They checked the other room which was so hot but they said it was fine, despite the thermostat at 18 and the room temp being well above 26 and extremely stuffy. Can’t open the windows which would’ve helped. Couldn’t use automatic checkout and was told they needed to refund my card but couldn’t do it; after ~20 minutes had to leave as kids were waiting. Going on a week and they’ve still not refunded nor responded to emails or online complaints. This is with a kid with special needs and in a situation that usually leads to more empathy, being a family sickness visit. This was cold and callous and anything but empathetic experience, but all too exhausted to manage. Families or those with disabilities- Beware.
