Reviews for Rydges Canberra
Mich C
I recently stayed at Rydges Canberra and had a great experience overall. The location is perfect, making it easy to explore the city. The service was excellent—staff were attentive and helpful throughout my stay. While the rooms are a bit outdated, they were very clean and well-maintained. I also appreciated the complimentary room upgrade, which added a nice touch to the visit. All in all, a pleasant stay and good value for the location!

Disappointed to say the least. Whilst the rooms are outdated that doesn't bother me but the hotel could at least care about making it clean! The spa bath was so dirty and full of bugs it was not useable. The shower was filthy with clumps of hair on the bathroom floor! The taps smelt horrendous to the point I refused to drink the water. But the absolute worst thing is there is clearly no sound proofing in these rooms. I was woken up at 3am to hear the person next door blowing up the toilet for hours. I could literally hear everything coming out of him. So literally no sleep. Completely disappointing will never book again.

We came to stay here from Sydney and had a very comfortable and enjoyable experience. While the rooms were dated, the staff went above and beyond. We had a comfortable bed, a tasty meal in the hotel restaurant where the dishes had a special flair, a great time in the pool and sauna and sightseeing Canberra ( conveniently located)

I don't usually write reviews but I will today. I stayed at this motel as my conference was being held here. I enjoyed my stay however I have to say that the negative reviews are pretty spot on. The good: very comfortable bed with sparkling white clean sheets. The catering for the conference was very good also. The bad: very crowded, small room for conference with 0.5 m between all the tables in front and behind. The hallways were dark, the furnishings dated, thread bare in places, fabric on restaurant chairs all stained terribly. Pink mould on bathroom tiles, rooms not cleaned well. Paint chipped everywhere. However, it is a good location. I got the impression that the staff try hard. I think the problem is that the motel is old, huge and difficult and expensive to maintain. Avoid the breakfast buffet.

I recently stayed at Rydges Canberra. I have to admit I was worried about my stay after reading reviews. The rooms were lovely. Bed comfortable. Staff friendly and helpful. The shower does leak because slant needs to be redone back to drain but front desk told me that’s being fixed. It’s in a great location. Only downside was cost of meals overrated. A beer was $17.50 which was ridiculous. Would I stay here again. Yes I would.
