Really great stay. Breakfast was delicious. Friendly staff, nice rooms, clean, bed was super comfortable. Only downfall was the elevator takes forever and there isn’t an easy staircase to use with the floor levels unlocked so you have to use elevator. Also our AC was making a weird noise when we first got there and then the next day it wouldn’t turn on which was a bummer but at least we were visiting during winter! We loved the brewery that is connected to the hotel. Good food and drinks! Transportation walkable and easy. Good location. Happy with stay.

A satisfactory stay. The hotel is conveniently located near central station, and is surrounded by a plethora of food options in Surry Hills. Rydges were also kind enough to permit earlier check-in. However, the hotel is a bit rundown, with slow lifts and outdated rooms; with thin walls/windows making it noisy. Unfortunately the pool/sauna area was also consistently occupied with too many people, making it too cramped to enjoy the facilities.
