Nice place to stay. The rooms may benefit from some improvements. For example, the bathroom door is quite transparent, so if someone turns the light on during the night, it can feel like having a big lamp on in the room. Overall, everything was good, but the best part was definitely the breakfast! They have a chef who made one of the best omelettes I have ever tried. Absolutely delicious! The chef also cooks with nice, relaxing music in the background, which I believe somehow makes the food taste even better 😊 plus coffee was perfect perfect. The staff are efficient and friendly, and the manager of the breakfast area is a great problem-solver — kind, helpful and very efficient. The breakfast experience definitely made our stay more enjoyable!

I stsyed at Rydges for a conference at the convention centre. The location was literally across the road. The service was excellent. Staff were so helpful. Breakfast was fresh and varied. They held my bag on the last day so I didnt need to walk around with it. Called a cab at the end of my day. Room was good size, with a outlook. I really enjoyed my stay.

This is the perfect hotel if you’re doing anything at the local convention center I stayed here for four nights during a conference and I couldn’t have been more pleased. The Hotel breakfast is great. The rooms were clean and spacious. Great water pressure on the shower overall a very serviceable, comfortable, and hip Hotel. Also there’s lots of great food, coffee and a bit of shopping along the street so you have a little bit of a chance for some Local immersion as well.

**★☆☆☆☆ Credit offered but not honoured, won't be back** During our stay at Rydges Fortitude Valley, we chose to skip room servicing in exchange for the hotel's $10 credit. When we went to use it at the minibar, staff refused, saying they "don't do that." No alternative was offered, so the credit was effectively worthless. We raised it with the duty manager and mentioned we'd be sharing our experience in a review. The response was a shrug and "yeah, that's fine." That told us everything: guest satisfaction clearly isn't a priority here, and they aren't interested in resolving issues when a guest raises them. If you're going to offer an incentive for skipping housekeeping, at least be clear about how it can be used and honour it. We won't be returning, and I'd advise others to consider staying elsewhere.

Ekka 2026 stay. For the volume of visitors staying, the team did great. Our requested arena view room was catered for, the bed was very comfy, room reasonably clean. The team were helpful and professional. Did room service which was sensational. The room was surprisingly quiet considering the event noise. Breakfast was ok downstairs. The ability to use a hotel entrance to Ekka was great especially for a return to refresh and head out again. Car parking was first in best dressed which wasn't desired however we were lucky and scored a spot as someone left. Only gripe was room serving staff left items behind, or didn't restock items, plus the restaurant manager was rude to his barista who was on his own, during Ekka, taking AND making orders for public and the restaurant yet told him to work faster - I hope this is addressed for next year with more staff on coffee. will definitely stay again, hopefully a higher level to again enjoy the views.
