4/10 Fair

Dissapointed
I paid a premium to be there for new years eve , and was given a room facing a wall. Their add says parking avaliable ,when i got there was told its valet parking only at $55 a night so an extra $110 to the total . When I checked out I got sent an invoice for $120 so they charged me an extra $10 on the credit card they had on file. I was told they want a $100 fee held when checking in which is normal, but they held $101.50 on my card. So they charged me a fee for them to hold a deposit , I didnt get that back either. I would say to others looking for a hotel at south bank ,there are plenty of good hotels to choose from. Choose carefully

Great location
Rydges Southbank is in a fabulous location right behind the gorgeous Southbank river precinct. Our king suite was large and perfect for our family of 4. The bed was incredibly comfortable.

Great location, friendly staff
Good hotel. Was well priced for the location. Friendly staff. The only thing I didn’t like was the pool was a bit small but that’s ok. Room service was very fast after ordering, however instead of pineapple juice they sent up straight lemon juice. I didn’t realise until the staff had dropped it off and by that time I was heading out so didn’t have time to wait for a new one. Not a big deal though, should have mentioned it at check out but forgot

The room was great and the pool bar nice, however the pool itself must be built in a poor position as most of the day it seemed to be in the shade.

10/10 Exceptional

The room was great. The only thing was the check in. After arriving at 3:30pm there was a line up which I understand. Then they make you pay for the room and also put a $100 hold on your card. Then I was told that the room was clean but the supervisor had to check it. We were given a free drink and advised they would call when room was ready. Half an hour later, still no call so went to the counter and was advised that my card did t go through. They advised that they called me but they didn’t. We then got it sorted but didn’t get into our room until 4:30 and had to quickly change to leave to attend our function. That was the only sour note. They need to do all the transactio in one go.
