Rydges World Square

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were very approachable, help full and respectful. We did have problems with the window blinds as they were already broken so the ratchet was hard to either wind up or down. Breakfast was great value and also a great selection. The concierge and door staff were also great in looking after our luggage on early arrival and departure and arranged the taxi to the airport."

Hilton Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"This stay was in their Ambassador Suite. It was on the 41st floor, so near the top, but even from there one can barely glimpse the harbor through all the new construction in Sydney CBD. Still, it was a nice room that included executuve lounge access as well as breakfast at the Glass restaurant. The Executive Lounge used to be located on an upper floor, but they've relocated it to an enclosed area (no windows) on the 1st floor. Usable, but the space is smaller, the food offerings are less than before, and there is no view so the aesthetics were not as nice. But at least it's open 7 days a week with decent hours. I do recommend the Glass restaurant for breakfast any day, if you have that option. The room itself was divided into 3 parts, a bedroom, a combined dining/living room area, and a connecting large bathroom and walk-in wardrobe area. I picked this larger room because I had my daughter and her 3 children with us on this trip. My wife and I chose a "City Suite" for ourselves that was more suited to our needs. Their standard rooms are nice, but relatively small. Service was excellent throughout out stay. The main reason we picked the Sydney Hilton was because of it's location next to the QVB as well as the convenience of having light rail (street car) and rail access nearby. You can actually catch a train from the International (or domestic) airport and end up at the station next to this Hilton (Town Hall) without changing trains. But this hotel is very nice as well."

Rydges Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at the Executive Suite on the ninth floor. The room was roomy and comfortable. Well-appointed and tastefully decorated. We paid a similar amount to what 5-star hotels were quoting for their entry-level rooms in Melbourne CBD at the same period, so it was excellent value. If I need to pick on something, it would be very minor things: one of the two couches in the sitting room was not comfortable for longer sitting, and the shower (in the oversize, functional bathroom) could do with a shelf for a toothbrush or a soap. Minor issues indeed. We will stay there again."
