We recently stayed at Rydges Lakeside Canberra for five nights & found this accommodation wonderful. My first impression was of the lovely friendly staff at the Reception Desk who were so helpful with any questions. We requested a room away from the lifts because of adverse comments on "Trip Advisor" about noise & our room was 420 which was very... More

Recently attended an Exhibition and stayed at Rydges. It has recently been refurbished, and the rooms are quite big and very comfortable. The breakfast is great, and the staff are friendly. We invited some friends to come for a drink before heading out to dinner, and the bar, the variety of the drinks and the costs were excellent. The location... More

A well appointed room of fresh design and sleek bathroom let down by the fact that only free to air tv available. No access to any movies . The usual Internet gouge somewhat compensated for by free parking if you book through what if.

Upon arrival, the hotel does look a little dated from outside, but is quite modern inside and beautiful, looks like I got a great deal. Once getting to my room, I could see that, unlike their slogan,... More

Locanda restaurant (breakfast & dinner) really... More
