Stayed for 6 nights recently on a holiday in Melbourne. Got a good deal through an airline so thought we would give it a go.
Overall a good alternative to expensive inner city hotels especially if you can get a deal. Good size clean room but very small toilet. Shelf fell off in shower first day but was fixed quickly....

Loved the size of our room. Large bed with table and lounge suite in room. Kitchenette facilities too. Although only stayed for one night would be great to stay there for a few days seeing as there's cooking facilities. Close to trams and train station. Free parking at the time as well. Recommend larger doona's though, was as if doona...

Dear cj1984cj
I am pleased that you found the hotel spacious and comfortable. The hotel has room styles to suit singles, couples and families all equipped with kitchen facilities. As the rooms are a manhattan style apartment they are a great option for guest's staying for longer periods that wish to have apartment facilities. We have recently introduced parking fees...

We stayed here with our two girls just before xmas in 2011. We have family in Melb and it was placed in easy proximity for us. The room was good value, clean and comfortable!

Once I got over the confusing of which building was which. I liked my room very much, awsome colours and style. Staff were very helpful. Within walking distance to train station and trams. Be warned though, At night trains are not frequent.
I went next door to JD's Dinner to eat and was not impressed with the quality of the...

I stayed here for two weeks while working in Melbourne after recommendations from work colleagues. I arrived early on a Sunday evening and even though my employer paid in advance I was forced to pay with my credit card. I tried in vain to explain the situation, but despite showing my receipt I was met with a blank stare. This...

Dear ChadD1981
I am extremely disappointed at the service you received as this is most definately not the standard that we are known for.
While it would appear that confusion existed around payment I would expect the team to compromise and offer to resolve this for you the next day and not inconvenience you further on arrival. Our electronic key...

I stayed here overnight on business and the room was good. There's a restaurant which we didn't use and a cafe which was pretty basic with only one member of staff, but she did a great job. The hotel staff were good. The area isn't very appealling and I'd recommend the City unless you have to stay in this vicinity
Dear Swishytail
I am pleased that you have highlighted the staff in your feedback as this reinforces all the hard work being done to achieve service excellence. Preston is still developing as area in regards to immediate attractions which should be considered if this aspect is important. The location is not suitable for all however those needing close proximity to...

My husband and I stayed at Rydges Bell City for 2 and a half months when we moved to Melbourne in November last year. Firstly on the hotel itself and its location. I liked the contemporary styling and the rooms were neutrally smart. It is a fair way out of the city, so if you are relying on public transport...

Dear Toodlepippus
Thank you for reviewing Rydges Residences. As distinct from Rydges Hotel, bookings in Rydges Residences are based on a minimum lenght of stay of 5 weeks or more. This option is an excellent value alternative for those needing accommodation during renovations or short term work placement in Melbourne. Part of the reason we can provide competitive fully furnished...

Stayed here for a night while working in the area. Rooms are large and quite creatively decorated. I had an upper room (6th floor) and the large windows offered great views. Bed was super comfortable I'd certainly stay again
Dear ozvpm_andy
Thank you for reviewing Rydges Bell City following your recent stay. It is pleasing to note you enjoyed the views and Rydges Dream bed as these are aspects that we believe set us apart from our local competitors. The hotel and facilities are ideal for the business traveller who needs proximity to the Northern suburbs. We look forward...

I've stayed here several times now, for work and private. Some rooms are hot in summer. Some rooms the bedhead is against the wall and the whole wall shuddered every time someone slammed a door next to my room, which was every half an hour - perhaps it was a fire stair. Last stay the shower screen had broken glass....

Dear Mary C
Thank you for your feedback following your recent stay at Rydges Bell City. The presentation and ambiance of the lobby and public areas are an area we have also highlighted as an opportunity. In the coming months we plan to make changes in this area. The pool while a short walk from the Rydges building is large...
