We probably would not have stayed here ordinarily because the rates are usually quite high.However, we took advantage of an Easter special accomodation/breakfast deal and were not disappointed. This hotel is one of the better ones in Gladstone and is obviously focused on the corporate traveler. Having said that, we felt welcome and everyone was very friendly and helpful. Location... More

The long trek back to Wellington NZ, each year via Gladstone to visit parents. Stayed in Rydges Gladstone ($279AU, 14 day advance rate, regular city room), Intercontinental Hanoi on Westlake, Vietnam ($152 USD/$145AU, club room ie. free booze and food) and Intercontinental Wellington ($261NZ/$209AU, regular room).

I have stayed here on many occasions. It is way overpriced (so is most everything in Gladstone). The rooms are very dated. Bathrooms are pretty average. Restaurant is redicuously expensive as are drinks. I have stopped staying here except as a last resort.

paid $200 for our one night stay, whilst the room was refurbish in modern decor the bathroom had been neglected. My is a little taller than avg. and had to duck under the shower rose and couldn't raise his hands above his head in the shower. The facilities are avg also customer service was fine. Next time we will look... More

Gladstone rydges was one of the most expensive hotels we stayed in and it didn't match up to any of the others we stayed in. Gladstone Rydges is overpriced. the room was minute. I wondered if they actually realised that we had booked... More

We Recently had our wedding reception at Rydges Gladstone in the International room.

The Sales & Marketing Manager... More

Whilst I travel to Gladstone on a regular basis in recent times I have tried to avoid staying overnight due to the difficulty and costs in securing accommodation as a result of the current LNG developments going on. Unfortunately on my last visit I could not avoid an overnight stay and once again stayed at the Rydges which for many... More

Gladstone has hotels/motels on every street corner, and is a high-priced accommodation town, but Rydges is ridiculous - the rooms are of minimum size, furnishings are modern, amenities are few, the room phone doesn't work, and for a five-star price they don't even have anyone to assist with luggage - just an (apprentice?) receptionist. As mentioned, there are plenty of... More
