Reviews for Rydges Canberra
Ellie Koski
We had an extremely enjoyable stay for 3 nights using 2 king rooms at the end of the school holidays. The hotel itself is older as mentioned in other reviews, but our rooms were very clean and comfortable and well appointed. Beds were very comfy & quiet for our 1 and 6 year old. There was a wedding the first night on our level but the room was so well sound proofed, we didn't have any noise once doors were closed. Buffet breakfast was great and we had dinner in the hotel all 3 nights because food was yum, it was fast & convenient and they were very accommodating to the kids. The pool & spa were great - temps were good for a swim even in winter and the kids loved it. What made our stay truly special though was the staff! From the moment I called to book & right through our stay, every staff member we had contact with were lovely & welcoming and truly went above & beyond to ensure we enjoyed our stay. Ali was really accommodating through the booking process and made sure my 6 year old had a little surprise waiting in the room for his birthday. Another staff member who went above & beyond for us was Jordan. Not only was he super attentive and lovely for us to chat to at breakfast, he was excellent with our kids- Noah is still talking about you Jordan- thank you for making our stay so special! The staff really care - there was a games area set up because it was holidays with boardgames, basketball hoops, foosball etc for the kids too. You can see the effort they've gone to in order to cater to families and kids. We loved our Canberra getaway, thank you to the beautiful team at Rydges Canberra.

A solid and reliable hotel with real potential to be outstanding. Rooms are comfortable and you’ll have a great night’s sleep, but the layout and décor feel dated. A full interior refresh would make a noticeable difference and bring the property in line with what modern travellers expect. Breakfast and restaurant — genuinely excellent. Great variety, well presented, and attentive service. A real highlight of the stay. Parking at $25/night is the one frustration. For a hotel of this category, parking should be included. It’s a small thing that leaves a sour note on an otherwise good experience. Overall, Rydges Canberra is a great base in the capital. With a room renovation and complimentary parking, this is easily a 5-star property. Looking forward to seeing it evolve.

Unfortunately, our stay at Rydges Canberra was disappointing. The bathroom cleanliness was well below what we would expect from a hotel of this standard. There was visible mould and staining around the shower and tiled areas, the shower drainage was extremely poor and caused water to flood across the bathroom floor, and the bathroom amenities were not properly stocked, with no body wash or shampoo available on arrival. While the staff were polite, the condition of the room significantly impacted our experience. Cleanliness and maintenance are basic expectations when staying in a hotel, and unfortunately this property did not meet those standards during our visit. Based on our experience, I would not recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a clean and well-maintained place to stay.

Just stayed at Rydges Canberra over the long weekend up from Melbourne. We checked in to a dirty room with worn carpet, a TV that didn’t work, in room phone that didn’t work and crumbs under the bed. My wife went down to complain. The staff moved us to another room which wasn’t much better. All three mornings the hot water was scarce. My parents also stayed in another room adjacent to us with a fridge that was leaking and barely worked. Also the same issue with hot water in their room. We were told by reception that maintenance would look into it but nothing happened. I can’t recall staying in a hotel this bad for the price we paid over the weekend. Rydges was always a chain that was excellent quality but this one fell far short of that expectation. So much so I had to post this review for others to read. The location is perfect, but there needs to be some serious changes if you expect people to pay almost $1000 for three nights stay with no hot water and facilities that need urgent attention!!! We won’t be back

I am disgusted with the state of the room that my partner and kids were delivered on arrival today. The room was filthy and the fact you pay $950 for two nights to stay in that is insulting. I would expect better from a $20 a night stay. I have attached photos to show the sheer lack of cleaning and state of the room that was provided on arrival. Then when she approached management to broach the state of the room she had to fight to get anything done. Her and the kids are tired and defeated before the holiday has even started. Then after having to argue to get something done the best that was offered was a couple of free drinks at the bar while they clean the room. Thanks that’s a really good offer giving free drinks at the bar for a mum with 3 younger kids. I would not recommend anyone stay there. Beyond disappointed.
