Had a comfortable stay! Location being convenient is the top quality + bed was super comfortable. Good for all types of travellers. Saw a lot of air stewardess staying at the hotel, maybe because of the convenience — very close to train stations and just a short train ride from airport. Very near a number of restaurants and shops and supermarkets too. Concierge service was good too - very kind and helpful. Has luggage storage service if you arrive early or wants to go out after check out. Downside was the room was a little far from the lift - quite a few turns along the corridor to get to the room, was an interesting layout.

Decent budget friendly hotel, more like a 3 star, slightly better than a Best Western hotel. I think it's categorized as 4 star due to there being a restaurant/bar attached. The reception area is nice and clean, and the man that checked us in was very quick and friendly, plus he upgraded our room to a balcony at no additional cost. It's definitely worth asking if they have a better room available. We found the bed to be soft and comfortable. The bathroom was crammed and not that nice. The corner shower is a poor design with water getting outside on the floor. The bathtub I wouldn't touch. There were little flies somehow in the bathroom as well which was not nice. The espresso machine was good, but they didn't clean our cup that was used- they put it back like it was cleaned but it wasn't. The carpet in the room seems old, similar to the hallways. Having an empty fridge was nice to have. Overall we got a good price for the 3 night stay however I would pick a different hotel next time since I would prefer a room that's newer or renovated, and there's a lot of options in the city to find that at a similar price.

Truly one of the most spectacular hotels l've ever stayed with. Unbelievably comfy beds, incredible food, wonderful service, pretty rooms and nice deep bath all for excellent price compared to other high end hotels. Magnificent stay, thank you all at Rydges!

On the night of April 5th, I traveled to stay with my family of 5. About 3 hours before check-in time, I informed the staff that I wanted an extra bed (I had already requested it since I made a reservation 1 month in advance). There were 5 of us. When we checked in, we found that we got 2 bedrooms, but there was only 1 room, which everyone knows is definitely not enough for us. The extra bed that I requested was ready. After that, I went down to the reception and asked to change the room because the bathroom was not enough for the 5 of us. I asked for a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom room instead. The female Thai staff with short black hair said, "Where did you get the idea that there are 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms? Our hotel doesn't have one." So I told her that I had stayed 2 days ago and got the room that I requested. She changed her attitude and told me that the room was full today. She tried to find a room for me, but there was none. But the first time I asked, she said that the hotel didn't have that kind of room. It was like trying to lie and cheat me. And I said then we could separate the rooms. It was 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, but it was 2 rooms. She said that I had to pay extra. Which I was very unhappy about because it was not my fault at all. I am very disappointed with the 4.5 star hotel. Finally, she gave me 4 free drink vouchers but I said that we have 5 people, not just 4. Finally, I am very annoyed and walked back to my old room without any responsibility from the hotel. And this staff never smiled at me and had a dissatisfied face the whole time we talked. The service is very bad. Trying to take advantage of me. I paid more than 400 dollars per night and paid for an extra bed for 100 dollars per night. The hotel should have better management and should train new staffs to be negligent in service. This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. I will not recommend anyone to stay in this hotel again.

If you’re after a convenient location - this hotel is great!! Staff were great!! Building I’m guessing is older, but disappointingly Rydges hasn’t put any effort into ensuring you at least feel like the cost of the hotel is worth it for anything other than location! It’s like a walk back in time once you step off the elevator onto your room level. Dated carpets, dated room furnishings. Bed sunk to the floor. Bathroom needs a caution sign for slippery when wet!! Lucky it’s got the location!
