I don't know if they're trying the old "colonial" feel and atmosphere but it's not working. The facade looks nice, that's it. The rooms look old but not the good "old", it looks unkept and dirty. And it's really small. There were three of us in the room and it is cramped we could barely walk around. The carpets were... More

Location of this hotel was great, central to most things Sydney, especially Capitol Theatre is just next door. The room we had was small but sufficient and clean with small lobby at the main entrance, staff was friendly. Breakfast was average, coffee was awful. The building is a liitle aged needing some attentions. The price we paid was OK, but... More

After booking tickets to a show at The Capitol Theatre, I decided to save myself a late night trip home on the train, and stay nearby in 'the city'. This hotel is in Campbell St, just off George St and located about 50 metres from the front of the Capitol Theatre.On the SHORT walk to the theatre you walk past... More

We were totally disappointed at our stay. The location is excellent but....................... The rooms are small and, lacking any shelf or hanging space for clothes, we were obliged to live out of our suitcases for the three nights we were in Sydney - and there was only floor space for one case, so we had to shuffle those on and...

For the price this place is terrible, I was tricked by the "Rydges" branding on the website. I was overseas when I booked, only to fly back and find a small dirty room with stains on the carpet and hairs on the floor in the bathroom - they even call it the "deluxe queen". Note to self, read the below... More

We found capitol square hotel location is so so excellent. It is next to china town and paddy market - these are the two places in sydney that you can find food and goods at a very reasonable prices. The hotel is clean enough (do not compare with likes of Novotel) and comfortable enough for our stay and the budget.... More

We stayed for 1 night on our arrival & 2 nights at the end of our trip....ended up staying at... More

We stayed 7 nights here and must rate as the worst 2 hotels I have ever stayed in. We only had one breakfast and that was forgettable. Our room looked straight into a light well with a corridor window 3 meters away so spent the whole time with the curtains closed. Service was poor to non existent and even at... More

We recently stayed at the Capitol for one night prior to a two day sampler cruise. The hotel is in a good location, close to Chinatown, where we dined. We did pay $269 for the night which was overpriced for the quality of the room, however, it was a last minute deal and there was nothing else available (many hotels... More

Normal day rate was $160.... Staff are terrible and... More
