Property was not up to the standard of the Rydges. The whole hotel needed a clean. The carpets through the hotel were in desperate need of a vacuum. Room was tired. Breakfast in the morning was average with chipped serving dishes and cold food. Would not recommend.

Accommodation was walking distance to what we wanted to see. The bed was comfortable and had a great sleep. The breakfast was very good value. The cleaning could be better. In our bar fridge we found cooked chicken wings that was left from someone else that stayed before us. Obviously fridge not checked or cleaned before we checked in. Strange writing found on sanitary pad packaging. Asking us not use the products. That was weird. The shower spout did not work well. The glass shower door could be better. Water spraying all over the bathroom. But overall a nice stay.

Strangely our room didn’t have a shower shelf installed. The two supportive bars were present. We informed reception, who informed Housekeeping/ maintenance. However we heard nothing more & unfortunately the shelf was never replaced for the remaining nights of our stay. Disappointed by this.

We stayed there for a couple of nights. This experience was not very pleasant apart from the easy walk to other places, but other than that they didn't provide any lotion, the pillows they gave us were ripped, there was no microwave, the hot water ran out and we had to pay for parking. Housekeeping was delayed and they didn't clean our floor, the swimming pool was pretty small. Overall this is one of the worst 5 star hotel I have stayed at, VERY DISAPPOINTED.😡😡😡

Very well located on Canberra Ave, with Parliament house a short walk to the west, and Manuka Oval a five minute walk to the east. Plenty of eating out options on the nearby Kingston foreshore. The bar had an intimate feel even though it was located in an atrium, and the staff were attentive. The room was clean, spacey and functional, though the wardrobe units look a bit dated and in need of a refurb. Overall my stay was a comfortable and busy one, in a location that was easy to the major attractions.

We had two nights booked but canceled our 2nd night. Foyer impressive. Room looked fine and as depicted in images. Linen and towels clean. Shower flooded bathroom floor every time which we could deal with. Unfortunately no air flow in room, with no air conditioning. Room was stifly, hot and uncomfortable (cool spring weather) and made it extremely difficult to sleep. We cancelled our 2nd night because of this. Staff were friendly and apologetic. The quality of fittings in this room is not acceptable and certainly not at the cost 2 -300 hundred a night.
