The location is great. the staff are professsional and friendly. Nothing was a bother. Dined in the Sphere restaurant. Food was fresh and plentiful . Again the staff were excellent. Valet parking made our arrival and departure very relaxed.

Easy to find. Just next to the World Square stop for the Monorail. Easy access to many attractions from this point. Easy walk down to Darling Harbour and China Town the other way. Great customer service. Lots of food outlets or fine dining within. Posh rooms. My room had a shower for the disabled which was a flat floor with... More

Is well located near Chinatown - rooms are very good considering the price - one of the cheapest rates for a quality hotel in Sydney. The beds are very good. Front desk staff are aloof and unhelpful - everything is too much trouble and you can stand at the desk whilst they attend to other items of interest. Rooms on... More

It’s great to hear you enjoyed the hotels location.

Trip Advisor won't allow me to put in a date any earlier than June 2011 - our last stay was actually December 2010. Although the views are not much of anything, the location of this hotel more than makes up for this. Darling Harbour is less than a 10 minute walk away and if don't want to walk then take... More

It’s great to hear you enjoyed your last stay and you particularly liked the location. With the closer of our executive lounge the Square Bar now has a vast variety of snacks and light meals available. Since your last stay the Sphere Restaurant now serves a Mediterranean Seafood Banquet on Friday and Saturday nights which has proven very popular with... More

We stayed at the Rydges for a long weekend Girls trip. The location is excellent for walking to shopping areas, darling harbour and catching the monorail. We had a family room that would comfortably sleep 4 people but there is only one bathroom. The room was clean and then beds were comfortable, however it did have a bit of a... More

I have stayed here on three separatre occassions for work in the past 12 months, the most recent trip last in May 2012. Let me start by saying that as far as CBD locations are concerned, the rydges is good value for money with rooms at $175 p/n, but certainly is not "luxury" as it is described. Overall the rooms...

As an old regular, this was one of the Rydges hotels I stayed at. If you have a room request, or one that you had stayed in prior, they will try and help you there. Here, try and get a room with the balcony, or an executive room on higher levels. The one bedroom is very large in comparison to... More

We stayed at Rydges World Square on a great rate as a secret hotel and were happy for the price, but would have been disappointed if we paid the full rate.
