    Everything was nice, so were exceptional views of the sun. A la carte breakfast had a nice variety. Location: the hotel was just next door to Circular Quay, ferries/trains/buses, the ferries, buses and light rail and pre and post cruise accommodation and transportation links. Stopped by The Fine Food Store to get some coffee and treats, it's quite a walk from the venue, recommend.

    The hotel has a fabulous location near popular attractions. It is just a stone's throw away from the Circular Quay, making it convenient for those hopping on a cruise ship or heading back to the International airport. Guests can easily stroll to the Opera House and explore the main Vivid attractions. The rooms are clean and comfortable, with a variety of amenities such as comfortable beds and free WiFi. The staff is also friendly and helpful, providing good service. Additionally, the breakfast offers a great variety to start the day.

    Some aspects of the hotel, such as the carpets and bathrooms, may appear a bit outdated and in need of renovation.

    We had an absolutely amazing stay at Rydges in Sydney. The location was unbeatable, with stunning views of the Harbour Bridge, Opera House, and skyline from the rooftop pool area. The room was comfortable and pleasant, providing us with a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. The staff were welcoming and efficient, making us feel right at home. We especially enjoyed the rooftop hot tub, which offered a brilliant outlook over the Harbour and Circular Quay. we had a fantastic experience and would definitely recommend this hotel for anyone wanting to explore Sydney's charming Rocks area.

    We had such a fantastic stay here! The location couldn't have been better, right in the heart of The Rocks district. The hotel is situated almost under the bridge and directly opposite the Cruise Terminal. It was so convenient to explore the main attractions, with everything within walking distance. And the view from the deck was simply breathtaking!

    Highly recommend this hotel to anyone.

    The hotel location was very convenient, with everything within walking distance. We were able to easily explore the city and visit all the major attractions. The staff were friendly and helpful, making our stay enjoyable.

    There were a few disappointing aspects of our stay. the bathrooms were quite average and could use some improvement.

    When it comes to the price, it's a great deal! I stayed here before going on a cruise and had a really nice time. The rooms are on the smaller side, but the staff is super friendly and helpful 😊.

    The location was fantastic, with easy access to Circular Quay, the Harbour Bridge, and the Opera House. Plenty of food options nearby and stunning views from the rooftop pool. Comfortable rooms with convenient amenities like a mini-fridge and coffee facilities. The staff were helpful and responsive, and there was a convenience store right outside the entrance.
