I was unable to order room service as the app wasn’t loading. When I called to order via phone I wasn’t given clear confirmation that the order was placed. We waited around for 1.30hrs for our food in the end. I also wanted a coffee to takeaway from the cafe down stairs. When I approached the counter at 0800 on a Sunday morning I was told they weren’t doing coffee & I was offered no explanation or apology which I found very strange.

Good size suite, nice fitout. Proper minibar! So much better than the post COVID standard that now exists in many premium hotels where the shelves are empty and you have to order.

Would stay again!
Staying at Rydges was a delightful experience - easy check in & our room was ready early & allowed a later check out. The room was cosy & bed really comfortable. We stopped in for cocktails at the pool bar in the evening which we thoroughly enjoyed.
