Dolly, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

I love this property for its location. Check-in was a breeze. Room was ready early. Portacot was ready for my toddler. Door handle did fall off one of the doors in my room. Might need a little upgrade. Staff are always helpful. Room service was efficient and tasty. Bonus for the kids this time was that the Wallabies were staying at the Rydges too.

Outstanding. Everything was perfect
william, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I love the location. It's near the beautiful harbour, so we had breakfast overlooking it, and we are next to the Newcastle Museum. We went on a long Easter weekend, and it was rainy, but there were plenty of dining options, and it was easy to walk to the CBD. Our boys enjoyed the pool, and I also used their business centre to do some work.
