North Shore Sydney Scuba Diving Vacations

Clean simple large room. Had everything that was need for a short stay, and staff were very helpful. So close to central areas of Newtown.

This was a perfect stay for our time in Sydney. Prior to our cruise, it is very essentially located. Everything is very walkable. If you do need to go outside of the central Sydney area, then there are trains and buses and ubers. But honestly, we'd walked most of the area. You could walk to circular quay into the rocks and other areas from the hotel. Everything is so very close and we did use a ferry and an uber to get to and from the torongo zoo. Go by Uber in comeback by ferry. It will drop you off in circular q u a y. The room was very comfortable with a mini kitchenette and a great balcony to look over the city. Check out was a little early at 10 AM. But it was fine. We ended up leaving and going to the cruise terminal in was able to get on board even an hour early! Look forward to coming back and staying on our return trip!

The staff were super friendly, but the room had a smell like a nursing home besides that it was fine

Quite a nice hotel in a really great location. Really lovely staff. The rooms are pretty tiny but if you’re the type of traveler that we are, we only spent time in the room to sleep so it really doesn’t matter. The breakfast buffet was excellent. Probably the best breakfast spread I’ve ever had. Not overly wasteful, a reasonable amount of choices that covers most dietary preferences (vegans should look elsewhere) and everything was absolutely delicious. The location is fab. Walking distance to most things (including the metro!). Very easy to get around. We also loved the 24hr gym. Really helped beat the jet lag. I have never stayed at a Rydges before, but i would definitely consider again, them not only in Aus but anywhere else for my next vaycay.

I like this quirky theatre theme hotel. It is right in the heart of things. Despite being in a tram line it is beautifully quiet. The breakfast was nice, although starting at 7am it was a little late for making my early morning meetings.

Definitely did not feel like a 5 star hotel as listed… don’t even include still bottled water etc. Front desk staff not very friendly. Room was clean but definitely feel like they skimped on some of the amenities. Room was listed to have record player and didn’t, only received after calling and asking. Rooftop bar was closed for a private event so I didn’t even get to check that out. Vip drink ticket was only given to me after I asked.

Loved the modern art deco rooms. Mini bar was complimentary with snacks and non alcoholic drinks. Staff were very friendly. Has a beautiful rooftop bar (Monica) and Palermo restaurant on ground floor. Would highly recommend

The location is great, and the breakfast is good. The friendly and attentive staff makes for a very good overall service.
