Rydges Albury is situated in the heart of Albury City - walking distance from almost all restaurants, eateries, and shopping outlets, including the fashion outlets. It has off street parking, however it is not undercover. It has security cameras for added security. The hotel is directly opposite the Commercial Club, a great venue for entertainment and dinner/bistro options. We had... More

It’s always pleasing to read such great feedback; the hotel staff gets a real buzz from such positive reviews. And while we acknowledge we don’t always get things right and yes the hotel rooms would benefit from a facelift (which hotel wouldn’t!) we also pride ourselves on our customer service and we know we offer great value. So many thanks... More

We scored a deal which included 4 buffet breakfasts for a nominal charge, and the breakfast was suberb! Enjoyed a lovely dinner at... More

Stayed here overnight on a business trip in April. The staff are very attentive and helpful. This is quite a large hotel for the area but in need of some rennovations. The wait for the elevators was always agonisingly long and this was in part due to how slow they moved between the floors. The room itself was a decent... More

A good stay at Rydges. The hotel is a bit old but has everything you need. It is right in the middle of Albury and walking distance to all the local restaurants and shops. The rooms are large and clean and well laid out. The car park is unsecured but it wasn't a problem. Very disappointed that wifi was $18... More

After a long drive, we decided to stay overnight in Albury (at the Rydges) before continuing our journey the next day. The Rydges offered a quaint room that was something between being a warm country hotel and a contemporary, city hotel of the late 90s.
