Sydney City Night
The Hotel is ideally located and was very clean and comfortable but the room was nothing like the photo displayed in the Executive King Room. When I questioned the reception staff as to whether I was in the correct room compared to the photo they advised that they only have a few Exe King Rooms with a couch (as displayed in the photo) but assured me I was in the correct room?? It was very basic and just standard (room 620) ! The air Conditioning was sooo noisy - sounded like heavy rain on a tin roof all night and not able to turn it off at the control panel. I have stayed in many Rydges Hotels (and I am a Rydges Member) but this was just not the usual comfortable Rydges stay!

Fabulous location
Rydges at The Rocks is a fabulous location for a city visit. Convenient to transport as there is no on sight parking. Close to Circular Quay for ferry transport to Darling Harbour, Manly, the zoo etc convenient to trains, the Harbour Bridge, The Opera House and great restaurants. The Rocks Markets at your door. Beds and pillows comfy, has a small roof top pool overlooking the beautiful Sydney Harbour. Great value stay.
