“A pleasant stay”
Rydges Capital Hill has a perfect Canberra location; central yet quiet and very close to Manuka. I was a little disappointed in my ground-floor room; it was very dark even in mid-afternoon, with only grim little fluorescent lights. Some of the fixtures are starting to look shabby, though the room was certainly clean and the bed was very comfortable. I couldn't see any heating controls which could be interesting in a Canberra winter. The hotel in general is very pleasant and the buffet breakfast was excellent. I would stay again, though I would request a lighter room on a upper story.
“satisfactory holiday”
Bahrooms are not suitable for elderly or less able folk. Needs safety rails near the bath to make it safer to use the shower. The food in the restaurant was very good , the service at breakfast was excellent,but the dinner service was vey slow.n the whole a happy visit.
“Nice hotel”
Nice hotel, with a good buffet breakfast available.
“Was a great place to stay”
We had a late check-in but staff were waiting for us - made to feel welcome at all times and reception staff were always most helpful with answering any of our queries
“Very good hotel near Capital”
Very nice hotel and very close to the capital and other govt buildings. There is nothing else to do. You have to order a cab to go to the town for dinner and bar (except for the ones in the hotel).
“Perfect for sightseeing break”
The hotel is great for a weekend of sightseeing. The hotel staff were friendly and welcoming, the parking underneath the building is easy (although one-off charge applies), rooms are very spacious, big foyer/atrium and nice size pool and spa. we went for this hotel as the room rate was significantly less than others and we didn't need breakfast included. Hotel is dated but for using as a base, it is fine. Convenient location to the sights although we ended up driving. About $20 cab fare to Civic area where number of restaurants and bars. Overall - very pleasant stay, would recommend.
“Decent hotel for business travels”
All in all a decent property. Especially nice if you have business in the area since there is much within walking distance. A short 1/2 km walk down Canberra Ave will bring you to Manuka where there are many cafés and restaurants to choose from. Didn't see the need to eat dinner at the hotel for this reason. The breakfast buffet was fine, just not enough coffee a couple days! But that aside, the service was good and the staff friendly and helpful.
“Old and tired?”
The room was clean but tired, the bathroom was showing its age in particular, it looked worn out .
“Good place to stay but...”
Rydges Capital Hill is a comfortable hotel to stay - the bed was great, easy to manage the temperature - a must in Canberra, however, don't order room service and pay by credit card - you'll be slugged a service fee for using credit card, which I thought extraordinary. The food was just average. We were assigned a room with a single bed instead of 2 double beds - a petty annoyance, however if the hotel had been full, it would have been a problem. The staff weren't very friendly either.
“Terrible condition”
Booked this hotel on the basis of Expedia's 4-star rating, but was bitterly disappointed - damaged paintwork, threadbare carpets, varnish worn out on cupboard doors - the list goes on. I've stayed in better 2-star motels!
