We recently had the pleasure of staying at Rydges Hotel in Cronulla, Australia, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience. The location alone sets it apart, offering the best of Cronulla right at our doorstep. However, what truly sets this hotel apart is its exceptional service. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by a team of charming, friendly, and incredibly helpful staff members. Thomas, the manager, sets the standard for going above and beyond, and every receptionist at the front desk follows suit. Even the maintenance team made a point to greet guests and ensure our happiness. The baristas and all the staff in the dining and bar area were equally as delightful, always going out of their way to ensure that our stay was nothing short of perfect. Their genuine concern for guest satisfaction was evident in every interaction. During our 13-day stay with a group occupying multiple rooms, we all felt like we were leaving behind not just a hotel, but a home and family. The warmth and hospitality extended by the Rydges Cronulla team made our time there truly memorable. We wholeheartedly recommend Rydges Cronulla to anyone, for any length of stay. To the dedicated team at Rydges Cronulla, we want to express our sincere gratitude. Your efforts do not go unnoticed, and they are greatly appreciated by all your guests. Keep up the fantastic work!

We paid just on $1700 for three nights accommodation with a bedding configuration of two single beds, on the first night I was standing in water from a blocked drain in the shower, after informing staff and showing them photo's of the drain we moved to another room, this room didn't have the two single beds that i booked and paid for after speaking to staff we were told that this would be rectified when we returned to the room they had placed a fold up bed in the room, when we spoke to staff they said it was to late to do anything about the bed. The next day we moved to another room. We did not pay $1700 to stand in drain water or sleep on a fold up bed and stay in three different rooms, I would not recommend this establishment to anyone the rooms are basic and dated and on top of the $1700 they wanted to charge an extra $120 for parking, I parked in the street. I emailed the photos to staff as requested

This hotel is not of the standard that a brand like Rydges would, I suspect, demand. Room was dirty (particularly the kitchenette), carpet stained, no welcome information (paper or digital), no room service and no digital entertainment (which I would have felt was necessary in a four star establishment). Value for money = very poor.

Our room, although relatively large had very spartan furniture: no lounge chair and two uncomfortable wicker style arm chairs. Additionally there was nowhere to place your bag other than the floor and the cupboard had only 5 coathangers. The room was not up to the standard I would expect of a hotel charging inner city rates although the bed was quite comfortable. The staff were friendly and courteous. Breakfast was at a good standard in a room with excellent views of the beach, however given this is the only beach view that was available other than from the street I do not believe that this place offers value for money.

Just ok. Breakfast was great, you have to pay for expresso coffee. Rooms are tired, lighting is poor, smoke detector over the bed had a strobe like every few seconds, wife mentioned this at reception and they said that’s what it does! Checking in was a debacle as their system had been changed the poor young guy was flustered and had to check us in without a credit card, after 20 minutes we just wanted to get into the room. Room was not clean, check out the dust on the blinds that’s been there for months. Poor effort.
