Reviews for Rydges Canberra
Jethro Cassidy
Rydges was a mixed bag for us this trip. Let's start with the good: 1. The staff member who checked us in was brilliant, some of the best customer service I have experienced. 2. The room was unexpectedly large and well fitted. 3. The vibe of the hotel was beyond expectations considering price point. That said, there was an issue we experienced that highlighted some significant cracks. The door frame to the bathroom was splattered with a dried reddish liquid (looked like blood or wine perhaps - see picture). These things can be missed, but potential bodily fluids are not our thing, so we asked for it to be cleaned while we were out in the afternoon. After returning home at 10pm, it was still there, and reception simply said it would be dealt with tomorrow. We asked again in the morning and showed the picture again, and it was promised to be addressed as we went out for the morning. Once again, it was missed, and we had to go to the front desk again to get someone in to clean it. Lots of effort and time from our end for an issue we viewed as a potential safety hazard (especially if it was blood). Overall, it was a great hotel with some issues with issue resolution and cleanliness. Would still say it represents good value for money, but be prepared for some rougher edges.

Staff were very friendly & helpful. The room looked spacious, very clean & pleasant. The environment of the hotel was nice. However, we found the hotel very noisy by people running around & talking at night & also it was a surprise that we had to pay for the carpark separately - $18 per night.

Really friendly, clean and quiet. All facilities available including laundry area for you to use. My only negative opinion is that towels weren't as readily available in the swimming area despite asking for towels 3-4 times over the period of a few hours.

We had a great weekend away at The Rydges Hotel Canberra. The Superior King room was very comfortable and clean. We enjoyed a swim and relaxing hot spa in the hotel pool and spa before dinner. The staff were friendly and very helpful. Lovely lounge and bar area with gardens and lots of natural light. We will definitely stay at The Rydges Canberra again.

Really need to invest in a better shower screen or curtain. Water gets everywhere. House keeping is slow and our room was not ready even at 4:30pm. Would’ve rated it 3 stars, but customer service was really good and immediately gave us an upgrade. Overall, the hotel was quite nice especially for this price range.
