Reviews for Rydges Fortitude Valley
Bret Wills
[1] Unfortunately the lady at reception when we checked in made a mistake and i ended up being charged an extra $53 on top of the already high parking fee for one night! (Thankfully I was reimbursed some money but not until I had to stress out and call them about it). [2] our room smelt like someone had just taken a number 2 in the toilet when we first entered the room! [3] we found a sharp piece of plastic in the sheets of one of the beds! [4] the bin had no bag and it became a nuisance dealing with rubbish, we had bags of our own so we made do but it bothered me after '2 & 3'. [5] there was a large amount of some kind of fibres and dust the continually fell from the ventilation in the bathroom the entire time we were there! Location was great, staff were polite, and the buffet was incredible. Its just not a place I would recommend unless these problems we had were guaranteed not to happen again. Came across as lacking and possibly dangerous and unhealthy. To the RYDGES HOTEL FORTITUDE VALLEY I would seriously consider reaching out to me and working something out regarding our experience and putting more effort in at reception checking and room safety and cleanliness. I'm yet to see the return on my deposit for the room and will write another review after that or amend this one if the hotel contacts me to discuss this. As always I am transparent and honest. People make mistakes but this was a lot to try ignore.

Clean enough rooms. Cleanish bathrooms, shower needs a decent scrub but I'm finding this with all the Rydges I stay at this year. Also, the TV in my room was damaged and has a line it it which was annoying. I travel alot for work, and the most important things in a hotel room are decent pillows, decent bed and darkness, and the room passes this test. Plenty of meal and bar options around very close by. However not close to any grocery stores if you need.

I was there for a week long training. Great tech and meeting rooms. The library just shifted the energy altogether. Their food was deliciously healthy. Never felt sleepy after a good meal in the afternoon. A big congratulations and thank you to the chef. My preferred place for trainings and meetings now on.

Great place to stay in the middle of Brisbane and especially when attending something at the Brisbane Ekka grounds. Room was clean and well presented (bed kept sliding forward when you sat up in bed though - that could be fixed somehow). Staff were all very friendly and professional. No parking at Rydges but public parking businesses nearby for overnight stays - makes it very costly to park - lost a star for that. Would be okay if you were using public transport and didn't need to park a car.

Great location, Excellent room! The highlight of my stay was the Service. Shadelle is an absolute star, if only every business had this exceptional standard of service. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Buffet Breakfast was good value + tasty. Check out time of 11am also great.
