Reviews for Rydges World Square
Phoebe Lin
The facilities feel a bit outdated overall, and the front desk service was decent. The location is excellent though — very convenient and right in the city center with easy access to transportation. The soundproofing in the room was average; I could hear noise from neighboring rooms, as well as sounds from the bathroom such as shower use and toilet flushing. However, because the location is so good, I would still consider staying here again if the price is right.

Our family recently stayed at Rydges World Square. While the location is excellent, we were disappointed with the overall service experience. At check-in, there was a lot of back and forth, and our rooms were not ready at the scheduled time. We were given complimentary drink vouchers and told to wait in the bar until we were collected when the rooms were ready. After waiting about 45 minutes with no update, we went back to reception, only to be told that they had forgotten about us. This was not a great start to our stay. One of the rooms we booked included an extra bed. We were assured at reception that everything was arranged, but when we arrived at the room, the extra bed had not been set up, and we had to follow this up again. Because of the inconvenience, we returned to reception and suggested complimentary breakfast as compensation for the trouble. The hotel agreed to provide free breakfast for 3 out of the 5 of us, and only for one of our two mornings. While we appreciated the gesture, it felt like a partial solution given the situation. On a positive note, the location of the hotel is fantastic, within walking distance of the train station and many restaurants. Overall, for what is marketed as a relatively expensive four-star hotel, we expected a much smoother and more professional experience. Unfortunately, the service did not meet those expectations.

The hotel's location is excellent, but unfortunately, the check-in experience was extremely disappointing and fell well below the standard I expected from Rydges. We arrived just 15 minutes before the official check-in time, at 2:45 PM, and were informed that our room was not ready. Rather than making any effort to accommodate us or offering a courteous solution, the front desk staff simply asked us to return at 3:00 PM. For a guest arriving only a few minutes early, this response felt dismissive and lacked basic hospitality. The interaction left a poor first impression and did not reflect the level of service one would reasonably expect from Rydges. The room itself was comfortable and the location was excellent, but the inadequate customer service at check-in significantly detracted from the overall experience. Management should review its guest service standards to ensure that future guests receive a warmer and more accommodating welcome.

Benefits of staying in this hotel: (1) Value for money (2) Convenient and centralized location- 5 minutes walk to Chinatown for souvenirs too (3) Eateries, COLES supermarket and shops right downstairs, not far away (4) Friendly, welcoming and professional front desk staff- Granted us an early check-in & swift check-out. Porters were helpful too. 𝐑𝐨𝐨𝐦: Clean, though the decor is slightly dated & dim. Good amenities (mini fridge, wine glasses, cups & coffee/tea, soap and shampoo provided). We liked the 'Green option' they offered—we skipped cleaning for 3 days and got a $30 F&B credit, which we used for room service (prompt & yum). 𝐋𝐚𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐭: We had connecting rooms. Space was okay, though bathroom coordination for 4 people was a bit tight. 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬: Clean gym with cool music on the 21st floor and bars in the lobby. 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞: Watch out for the legs of the glass TV table; they stick out and are easy to trip over. Overall, a convenient and friendly place to stay! Keep up the good work, and thank you for the lovely experience.

We stayed last week for 4 nights. The staff were outstanding. Rosie who checked us in was outstanding ensuring our parking was free and gave us free room upgrade as we are Accor members. Nothing was too much bother from checking in to the room service staff. So friendly and helpful. Even the Tram staff were amazing. Awesome location. we will be back. 100% recommend
