Rydges Hotels in Sydney

The biggest highlight of Capitol Hotel is definitely its location—10/10! It’s right in Chinatown and within walking distance of plenty of restaurants, shops, and public transport, making it a great base for exploring the city. The room was quite small, but it was clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Hotel is easy to find, but there’s nothing in the neighbourhood—you’ll need to drive to get anywhere. The bathroom amenities are very basic. Breakfast is not worth $36—you only get instant coffee, which is very disappointing. The sofa bed is only suitable for small kids, not for adults. You can feel the springs when sitting on it, and the mattress is very thin.

The hotel's location is pretty good, making it convenient to get around. The lobby is exquisitely decorated and offers self-service drinking water. The front desk staff are enthusiastic and welcoming. The room space is a bit small, and there's a construction site nearby. Although the windows are soundproofed, it still affected my sleep in the mornings. For an Atour hotel in China, paying over 1000 RMB per night, I personally don't think it offers great value for money. After staying for two nights, I moved to the Four Seasons nearby on Sunday. For just over 900 RMB, it was superior in every aspect.

The room facilities were great, and the location was absolutely perfect – just a 5-minute walk to international departures. The hotel front desk staff, however, were quite unfriendly; this might have been due to my English not being very fluent. This hotel is ideal for catching early morning flights. Sydney international departures are incredibly busy in the mornings; I woke up at 6 AM and already saw traffic building up. It took almost half an hour from leaving the hotel to checking in my luggage. After that, I only had enough time to quickly browse duty-free before boarding.

The room was spotless and came with a kitchenette. Housekeeping diligently replaced amenities daily. The location is fantastic; it's just a 10-minute walk to Chinatown, the train station, or the light rail. We stayed in a double room with an extra bed. While the kitchenette was a nice touch, it lacked sufficient cooking utensils, and the stovetop's orientation made it a bit awkward to use. However, overall, we were very satisfied with the environment and service.

The location of the accommodation and the 24-hour response were good, but the housekeeper did not clean it properly, and even though we asked for a body shower from a day ago until that morning, it was still not filled when we came in after going out.

First, the negatives. About half an hour after we checked in, a male staff member swiped his card and opened our room door. He said he was delivering hangers, but we hadn't requested any, so perhaps they were meant for another room and delivered by mistake. It was quite a shock regardless. I didn't report it to the staff during my stay, but afterwards, I made sure to double-lock the door every time I entered the room (before, I only locked it at night). Now, for the positives. The location is excellent, very close to Central Station with many bus and light rail options nearby, making getting around super convenient. I stayed on the eighth floor, and while I could still hear traffic noise at night, which was a bit loud, the room's soundproofing was otherwise good, as I couldn't hear any noise from next door. The room was also very spacious, with a fridge and a safe. Overall, I recommend it.

Rydges Camperdown is about a few seconds walk from Parramatta Rd Bus stop so getting around is no problem, I actually cancelled my car rental and was glad I did because of this but incase you do bring a car there is normally parking along the front and even below. the room is very nice and quiet even if you’re close to the elevator, the interior is very clean and provides all the essentials you need for a good stay. Next time I come back to Sydney I’m definitely booking again.

I thoroughly enjoyed my overnight stay at Rudy’s North Sydney. The lovely man who checked me into the Hotel was so helpful. The following morning the host of the breakfast restaurant was also very friendly and helpful. I would stay here again. Rooms are renovated with nice products.

We stayed in the Rydges World Square family room for three nights and had a very comfortable experience. The two-bedroom layout was spacious, clean, though sharing a single bathroom among four adult was a minor inconvenience. A thoughtful gesture from the hotel made our stay even more special—they surprised my son with chocolate treats and a birthday card upon check-in, which we truly appreciated. The location is excellent, close to many attractions, and the convenience of having a shopping mall right downstairs with restaurants and a supermarket added to the ease of our stay. Overall, it was a delightful and comfortable experience.
