Reviews for Rydges Sydney Central
Noelsy 08
We arrived very early due to our flight into Sydney. Naomi was so lovely. Took our luggage. We asked for recommendations for a good coffee Cafe. She definitely hit the spot! We were lucky to have Naomi assist us again for our check in. She was so lovely and assisted us with the local eateries. The room was fantastic. Not to mention the Brewery. Amazing staff! Will we return? A definite yes for service, location and price. FYI we had an executive room.

As others have mentioned, the customer service here was disappointing. I am leaving this review in the hope that improvements will be made. I stayed for two nights, but after the room cleaning, the floor mat and towels were not replenished. The plastic bags in the trash bins were also carelessly placed. On the second day, the body soap ran out, so I requested a new one. However, what was delivered to my room was a diluted, water-like version of body soap. Why would this happen? I would expect at least the minimum level of service. That said, the room was spacious and clean. Thank you.

I’ve stayed several times previously at this hotel; however this was the worst experience by far. Bathroom cleanliness was an issue with mould ridden shower and hair on the walls. Only 1 tiny bar of soap provided. Shampoo dispenser fell off shower wall. Room was lacking an alarm clock, pen and paper, bottle opener, drink coasters, dry cleaning bags. Hot food at breakfast buffet was stone cold despite eating at 7.00am. Customer service is poor. Staff didn’t even bother to ask how my stay was or thank me for staying with them as they don’t care. Staff reaction to complaint was indifference. I paid $650 for 2 nights. In summary overpriced, poor customer service, lacks room amenities and poor cleanliness. Will not be returning.

My bedroom door was difficult to open, the fan in the bathroom didn't work, there was no robe, even though it efficientwas advertised, it was very cold in the lobby, my meal order was done incorrectly, etc. When I mentioned this to the staff I was kindly given drink vouchers and I said I didn't mind the little problems and the staff were efficient. However on the last day I saw a headless fish in the rather bizarre fish pond. When I complained I was told the pond was difficult to access (how would they feed them?). Children were nearby. This is unacceptably cruel.

Not accommodating for working mothers. I came for for a career development breakfast event. I got to the hotel early but couldn't find a parents room for pumping. Reception staff did not know where to guide me. Next i asked cafe staff, who guided me to a meeting room with a locked door and gave me permission for parental use. However, another staff member came along 15 min later and told me through the door that no one was supposed to be there and threatened to open the door while i was still pumping. They started to use their keys even though i pleaded for them to give me time to make myself decent. They then suspected me of stealing until i showed proof of what i was doing. I'm mortified and embarrassed and hope that this doesn't happen to other people who need to come for corporate events. The corporate event space on level 11 was very beautiful and the event was well run.
