Rydges staff courteous. Room clean and fresh.
Downsides no hairdryer, matress extremely soft no support, only one small lift, pool area was closed for private function. Upside food was good, amazing shower and bathmats were a nice touch.

Two night stay as part of a business meeting held here and it was very comfortable. Room I had was quiet, comfortable and spacious. Nice welcome at check in and meeting room well set up. They were having trouble with a non-functioning lift during my stay so just used the stairs. The bar is nice and breakfast is very good. Location is particularly handy with good access to the restaurant centre in Lygon Street.

I recently stayed at this hotel for a work conference and I am so glad we did ! Great access to the city, clean and well kept modern rooms, friendly staff and very nice food. I was very happy with my stay and will always stay at the hotel when visiting Melbourne. Thanks very much Rydges on Swanston

Lift has not worked since Saturday so
You either have to walk up the fire stairs or take the goods lift by the kitchen that’s 3 days now.
The bar ran out of beer on happy hour conveniently and had one tap working which was playing up.
Not enough staff to clear up the glasses and mess and is generally a place worth not staying at unless you have to.
Ordered muscles off the entree menu and got 4 green lipped with some sauce and a bit of bread.
Still here sadly until the end of the week.
Would leave if it was not convenient to my course at Uni and Lygon St which is the only reason I am still here until Friday.

My partner and I stayed for a relaxing holiday. The room was very spacious (we had a spa suite). Very clean. Close to CBD and right next to tram stop, very convenient.
All staff were very helpful and welcoming especially the girls in the blues bar.
I would definitely recommend.
