Booked through Wotif "mystery pack" (i.e. you dont know what you have got until you book). W\as advertised as 4.5 stars, king size bed, good sized bath, room with a view and intimated that parking was included. Sweet ... sounded like a great surprise Valentines Day weekend getaway. Check in was without incident. Was *INCREDIBLY* disappointed with the room. *... More

I booked through wotif because the Rydges Priority Guest programme couldn't match that kind of deal, which I find amazing, I'd be certain they'd want to keep their customers, not push them away. Anyhoo go to check in, all good, only to be told the king bed I'd ordered through wotif wouldn't be available till 9.00pm Saturday night, I was... More

Friendly staff, great food, brilliant bar, but the hallway outside our room had not been vacuumed, black marks on the door,and a stain on the ceiling, other than that everything else was good, very handy to transport and walking distance to the city More

First of all, I feel mean giving this hotel just 3 stars - it's definitely better than average but not very good, so I will describe it as just good. The hotel is in Chinatown, where you will find a ton of bars and restaurants. I came back at 2am on Saturday night and it was still going full-swing. There... More

Not often do I stay at a hotel in my own city ... I had 2 separate stays, of 1 night each. Where as the rooms are nicely furnished, except I did not like the aircon blowing on me in bed! Upon my very early morning check out of my 1st stay, I advised the Front Desk the soap holder... More

Well located for sightseeing if you don't mind a bit of a walk, 10-15 mins to Darling Harbour, or alternatively only 5 mins to the hyde park station which gets you to Circular Quay quickly. The hotel itself is nothing special imo, no particularly noteworthy facilities & whilst we had a room with a seperate sitting room I would say... More

It was pleasing to read that you have enjoyed our great location. We are close to Sydney’s main attractions, with an easy access to the monorail and the train station to get in and out of city. I am glad to see that you have enjoyed our Rydges DreamBed and had a good night’s sleep while staying with us. Thank... More

My partner and I stayed at the Rydes World Square in Jan 2012 for 3 nights. Staff were overall helpful and polite. My main complaint is with the servicing and cleaning of the rooms. The first night we arrived at the hotel quite late so we figured that the used room service food trays lining the corridor outside our room... More

We found Rydges world square to be in a fantastic location. So much around it from shops to food. Sydney at night was great to wander around, felt safe and no need to find transport. Walking distance to everything and monorail stop at hotel. We got great rates on special and could get the whole family of 5 in one... More

I stay in sydney quite frequently due to work and this was one of my worst stays there. The location is great but the hotel itself is poor. The place is very expensive as compared to other places and this may sound funny but it smells. For whatever reason, maybe its a lack of airing to the halls rooms but... More

Though this review is long overdue but it was indeed worth of writing. This was our first time in Sydney & Rydges World Square. We stayed in the city because of an International Youth Gathering we were in and good place to stay just before the event started. The room price was reasonable. Rooms are spacious and clean.
