Big showers and a comfy room with a great location and value for money, one of the nicest hotels to stay at when travelling to the city.

David Australia

Great service and clean room, my wife and I enjoy the location as it was central to everything. We were given a bottle of wine and a plate of chocolates on arrival as we were celebrating our wedding anniversary. Thank Ridges for making this anniversary a memorable one...

Youssef Australia

The location is unbeatable. The room was clean and comfortable.

Jmartigu Chile

The concierge and all staff were exceptional, the service was outstanding.

Grant Australia

Incredibly impressed with our stay at Rydges World Square. Prior to our arrival, I had sent through a request asking for a room on a high floor as I have trouble sleeping. I did not necessarily expect this request to be fulfilled as I had booked our stay through a third party. Upon arrival, the staff were delightful and checked us into a room very high in the building. The room was spacious, comfortable and very clean. I would definitely stay here again.
