1 bed suite is ok. I wouldn't pay for balcony, there was no view and it's unappealing. Bed was comfortable. Difficult to contact reception or anyone in the evening, took 30mins to get through because they forgot to make up the sofa bed. Hotel is ok, reasonably clean but still looks dated.

No disability facilities. Rydges may as well put up a sign saying 'Disabled Guests Not Welcome' Breakfast was terrible. Our poached eggs were hard and were returned. The supposedly hot buffet items were luke warm. Espresso coffee was good but not included in the breakfast price.

Front desk and cleaning staff were fantastic, particularly given that the company clearly didn’t provide adequate staff numbers necessary. Bar was a bit underwhelming. Staff member didn’t know how to make a drink that was on their menu. Rooms clean but basic. Good for a short overnight stay if you have business in the area. Right next to metro. I
