The building was lovely and the personnel were great. The room was very average but we didn’t realise how dark it would be. During day and night we had to keep the lights turned on as there was absolutely no light which was very annoying. Location fantastic and ammenities great. Good low budget option but don’t expect to see the sun at all

No Upgrade. Not notice of VIP Status when Check in. I have o ask the lady to double check then she noticed. Still not upgrading the room without trying to check and just say no I also have to ask for the $28 food credit when check out. Room is not so clean and aged. Room service missed 4 days out of 10. Have to ask several times to get new bath towels. Forget to replace the body shower and shampoo several times and have to call front desk to bring and take some times. The only thing i like is just he location, with lots of restaurants and grocery stores around. Other than that nothing really please me about this property.

Rydges World Square is a very good hotel. Everything is fine with the exception of the in-room audio visual offering. The Free-To-Air TV picture frequently starts to break up, the Foxtel selection is all being presented in the wrong aspect ratio (should be 16:9, not 4:3), the option to stream to the TV from the guest's own devices utilises an obscure mirroring option which requires the guest to find an app, which did not work at all with my Android devices, rather than use the widely known and very efficient Google Chromecast. If the hotel set out to frustrate the use of the streaming or casting option the outcome could not be worse than it is now. To top it off the room's flimsy clock radio must one of the cheapest on the market and it sounds that way. A pity. It's a botch-up at a fine hotel.
