We had a staycation at Rydges for NYE and New Year’s Night. Perfectly positioned for walking, trams and trains to all Melbourne and the inner suburbs have to offer. Friendly, engaged and efficient team at reception. Unable to access all amenities for the obvious COVID reasons however that didn’t detract from our stay. We’ll be back.
