Reviews for Rydges Fortitude Valley
Nico van der Westhuizen
I believe this hotel could benefit from a thorough review. While the overall cleanliness is decent, I would advise against looking under the beds or using the room phones, as they are covered in a year's worth of dust and dirt. Furthermore, the TV casting function was not operational, and the television cut out approximately every ten minutes. I spent nearly two hours at the reception regarding a piece of clothing I had forgotten in the closet. I initially informed the staff at 10 AM, and they promised to call me back. After calling again at 12 PM, I received the same assurance. I returned to the reception at 5:30 PM to remind them about my clothing, but they were still unable to assist me. While the staff is friendly, the level of service is disappointing. I typically do not leave reviews, but my experience with what may seem like a simple issue—a forgotten piece of clothing—has compelled me to share my thoughts, especially considering the price tag attached to the missing piece of clothing.

Every time I stay somewhere, I always request, on checkout, to receive an email with my tax receipt. Without fail, the smiling reception attendant confirms my email address and assures me that my tax receipt is on its way. I am an executive business traveller and stay in hotels around the price point of Rydges more frequently than I care to think about. I don't ask for much usually and mostly I check out early leaving barely a mark on the rooms I have occupied. A model guest you could say. Unfortunately, the tax receipt is a normal and necessary feature of any business transaction in Australia. This is unfortunate because hotels do not see this as a standard feature of their business with guests. Emails with offers? Yes. Text messages with various 'important' updates prior to a routine stay? Of course! An email with a tax receipt? Almost never, and often not even after requesting one and being assured of the prompt response to my request. There is little in my relationship with hotels that annoys me more than needing my PA to chase up a receipt. She knows to add these establishments to a 'blacklist' for my company, due to poor customer relationship management. I stayed on Thurs 14th, and paid around $240 for my room for 1 night. Room 416. Next time, another address.

Really nice new hotel. Comfortable and stylish rooms. Good bed. Good bathroom. Good tv. All well thought out. Lobby and service was nice. Good location with lots of food options.
Rebecca Connor
Very pleasant and helpful staff. Rooms are very clean, modern, and the beds are extremely comfy. We ordered room service and had the beef burger which was absolutely delicious. Great location too. Would highly recommend staying here.

We wanted to sincerely thank all the Team for a fabulous event – our wedding last Saturday evening 3 August. Everything without exception went consummately to plan with meticulous detail. The food was absolutely amazing – everyone commented about it, and the service equally brilliant. A big shout out to Kamol, Liam and our Event Organiser Julie who left no stone unturned to have everything right in preparation. We remain extremely grateful of the kindness, care and supreme attention to detail we experienced. Thank you so much again for all your kind help.
