We found Rydges world square to be in a fantastic location. So much around it from shops to food. Sydney at night was great to wander around, felt safe and no need to find transport. Walking distance to everything and monorail stop at hotel. We got great rates on special and could get the whole family of 5 in one... More

I stay in sydney quite frequently due to work and this was one of my worst stays there. The location is great but the hotel itself is poor. The place is very expensive as compared to other places and this may sound funny but it smells. For whatever reason, maybe its a lack of airing to the halls rooms but... More

Though this review is long overdue but it was indeed worth of writing. This was our first time in Sydney & Rydges World Square. We stayed in the city because of an International Youth Gathering we were in and good place to stay just before the event started. The room price was reasonable. Rooms are spacious and clean. The breakfast... More

The hotel is situated on Pitt Street towards Chinatown. The check in was efficient. Room was of a good size although dark due to my room facing another building. Although the sheets were clean the carpet and bathroom floor were not. Rooms are basic and that of a UK 3 star hotel. Internet by cable in your room or wifi,... More

We had a room facing Pitt St. Comfy bed, clean room & good location. Staff were all friendly and happy to help. Definately not a glitzy/luxury hotel, but good clean accommodation, with lots of cafes and restaurants right downstairs on street level & then a supermarket and more shops downstairs underground. On checkout I left my iPhone charger and had... More

Hotel room was nice with a large king size bed. Bathroom was a good size as well. Not very modern but clean and tidy. Staff also very nice. Would recommend for a short stay. More

We were very disappointed with this hotel particulary since we paid more for a room here than we did at a much nicer five star hotel in Sydney. Room was in average condition and smelled musty. The hotel is located in the China Town section of Sydney and this location is very noisy until the wee hours of the morning... More

They say that location is everything and this hotel has it. From the time you walk through the door you are made to feel welcome.
