All 4 of our rooms were not ready - that meant hanging around for over an hr after 3pm and long travel - room next to aircon plant ! So much for an upgrade and then wifi is for the old ages - it cost me some work time ! Completely unacceptable

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
We had to wait some time before we could access our room due to some mystery maintenance issue. Front desk staff didn't seem to onow what was going on. Room smelt of cigarette smoke, luckily the aircon had a deodorise type function. Room wasn't serviced regularly despite indicating we wanted service. We noticed some food crumbled into the carpet just outside the elevators which took three days before it was vacuumed up. Fire alarm went off at 1am on our first night and then stopped after 5 minutes. No explanation given. Breakfast buffet was okay, lack of variety of fresh fruit and they ran out of clean cups and plates. Great location, but even on the upper floors you can still hear the bars down below.

The Rydges was perfect for a quick solo getaway in the city. The room was large and clean and the staff were incredibly friendly. The rooftop pool was lovely - perfect temp and with a great view! For the price, you really can’t beat this. I’ve stayed at a number of 5 star hotels in Melbourne and this was right up there.
