We really enjoyed our stay. Friendly staff, clean hotel. Unfortunately the pool heater wasn't working so the pool was freezing and the pool is the main reason we booked this hotel.

Convenient and accommodating
Excellent location for appointments and entertainment. My room was clean, comfortable and had plenty of space.
The Sydney Brewery is onsite and a great location for a quiet drink and tasty food without leaving the hotel.

Nice staff, good location, great for money!
The pool was really nice, there's a little sauna and jacuzzi, too!
Walking distance to the chinatown area. There's a little playground around the area if you're travelling with kids.

I found not only the location very convenient due to the proximity to Central Station, but also the walking distance to the city center was easy to manage. I really enjoyed my stay at Rydges Sydney, so I can and would recommend it at any time.

Great accommodation
Rydges Sydney Central was a lovely place to stay overnight. Everything you need and it even had its own cinema to watch a Christmas movie. The hotel rooms have plenty of space and there’s a tea/coffee room you can use to heat up food in the microwave and sit down to watch tv in quietness. The buffet breakfast is very good and there’s a small gym, nice indoor swimming pool and sauna.

A great stay
A little tired, however, a bit of poor paintwork is nothing when one looks at all the excellent features to enjoy here. There is good seating in the lobby, and a bar with food, or a table with service in the restaurant usually used for breakfast. The food is good. A walk-in shower - with taps clearly marked, no ridiculous maneuvering to avoid the water when you turn them on is a huge plus. The pool and spa are amazing. With a huge room, fridge, sofa, wonderful bed and a room service menu in writing, I could want for nothing more. The staff are excellent - friendly and efficient. Location is good with plenty of coffee shops and restaurants nearby. It is a $20 uber to city locations, Central station is close, and there is a bus service to Crown Street restaurants (or a short walk up a hill). I loved my stay at Rydges Sydney Central and intend to return as a regular Sydney visitor.
