Have stayed here a lot over the years, always great staff. Clean, comfortable. Everything I need. Convenient location for me.

We were made welcome since we were there to visit St Vincents Hospital, so the location was good, we had two good nights sleep, and enjoyed our dinner.

It was good, the bed was comfortable and the staff were nice.

Staff were amazing and very accomodating, everything was so quick and easy.

Very professional and classy hotel. Felt welcomed and valued as a guest.

The surrounding cafe’s and restaurants were excellent. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. The beds were extremely comfortable. The staff in the adjoining bar were fun and efficient.

Warm welcome to the hotel. Amazing location easy to walk anywhere in town. Room was big, sunny, clean and fully equiped. There is a nice restaurant and a rooftop pool.

We liked how convenient Rydges was to everything we wanted to do while visiting Melbourne. The Buffet Breakfast was delicious.

Ideal location Comfortable room with view. Excellent dining standard and helpful staff.

Quick check in and check out. Relaxing spa bath. Walk to so many restaurants and theatres. Free tram zone.
