Great location, breakfast buffet over priced.
Property rooms have vintage look, modest renovation needed, overall good. Location outstanding, staff pleasant. Breakfast HIGHLY PRICED for quality of buffet set up and food options. Very DISAPPOINTED & not worth it.

Fantastic Location
An absolutely fantastic location, just a shame about the noise at night, at weekends. The double glazing really needs to be improved, especially at the rear of the property. Roof top views, from the pool area, were spectacular.

Rydges-Sydney
The breakfast buffet was not that great. Food was cold and not worth the amount of the fee. The location was great for sightseeing and for the Cruise Terminal that was one block away.
