The Rydges Australia Square is in an excellent location to get to and to explore Sydney. The interior is nicely designed and clean. That said, we were disappointed that the King room we had booked was far too tiny for 2 people to stay in for several days. Ver got a Queen room upon request that was far bigger (which in itself is weird) but we’re still disappointed. Most annoying was the breakfast. While the food options are fine, the restaurant is clearly understaffed, and it’s also too small for this size hotel. One coffee machine didn’t work for two of the three days, which led to long waits and poor coffee. Frequently food offerings are empty or no cutlery available. All up an average stay - but we wouldn’t rush back.

Good central city location

Hotel is in great location in the city and easy walk to harbor for opera house or Royal park/gardens. We drove from airport, which was a challenge given location and traffic. Parking is in local paid garages and is expensive. Easy Uber in and out.

The Rydges Hotel was close to the cruise terminal, the harbour front, ferry, and The Rocks. The staff was friendly and efficient. The breakfast was very good with food variety. The wifi worked well and the bathroom shower stall was very nice. Compared to other nearby hotels it was less expensive, clean and comfortable. I would recommend this hotel.
