Stayed in deluxe king suite. Comfy beds, amazing view, spacious living and sleeping area but poky bathroom and laundry area - no hooks or rails at all for towels! No extractor fan in the bathroom. Apart from these small things the room was great. Reception service was good. The real problem was the breakfast. It took 20 minutes of lining up to get a coffee from a machine which wasn’t working properly. The guy before me gave up. No mugs only paper cups. No milk or sugar at the coffee station and no sugar at our table. Badly organised area meaning people bumping into each other looking for things. No fresh cutlery - had to ask twice. Hot food was cold. For an international hotel at the price we were paying I expected to at least be able to get a decent coffee without too much effort… the poor staff were trying their best but the bad systems were letting them down at every turn.
I stayed at Rydges Wellington for 11 nights in a Level 15 suite overlooking the city. The room was clean, comfortable and well-equipped with a fridge, microwave, and tea and coffee facilities. The shower had excellent water pressure, which was a nice bonus after a long day. I had breakfast every morning, and this is where the experience was a little mixed. I can't fault the quality of the food—it was fresh and tasty, with all the usual hotel breakfast options including eggs, bacon, mushrooms, pancakes, cereal, plus a nice selection of juices and flavoured milks. During the week, breakfast was excellent (my only complaint is the plate warmer was either off or not working which is terrible in winter). Unfortunately, Saturdays and Sundays were a different story. The restaurant simply couldn't cope with the number of guests. Plates and cups regularly ran out, tables weren't being cleared quickly enough, food stations were constantly waiting to be replenished, and people were overflowing into the hotel foyer just to find somewhere to eat. It felt chaotic and, in my opinion, was more a staffing issue than anything else. Despite that, I enjoyed my stay and would happily stay here again. If the weekend breakfast service was brought up to the same standard as the weekdays, this would easily be a five-star experience.
First time staying with this brand. Our first room had a funky smell. After we dropped our luggage and came back, it was still bad. They were very good about getting us another room. It was much better. Very accommodating. Great location, very easy to walk to everything we wanted to see. Great view of the harbor.
We recently stayed at Rydges Wellington for a couple of days to celebrate our son’s birthday and had a wonderful experience. Unfortunately, it rained for most of our visit, but the beautiful harbour view was still nice on a wet, stormy day. The hotel gym was well equipped, allowing us to keep up with our workouts during our stay. The location was also excellent, with plenty of amenities and attractions within easy walking distance. We made use of the valet parking service, which was convenient and hassle-free. On our first afternoon, we ordered a cheese platter to our room, and it was delicious and a lovely way to unwind after arriving. One of the highlights of our stay was dinner at Portlander Restaurant. The food, service, and atmosphere were exceptional, making it a memorable evening. I would highly recommend it for anyone celebrating a special occasion. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily return to Rydges Wellington in the future.
They are filling the mini fridge with different brands of can beer and wine to taste but unfortunately they don’t tell us that if we have those they will charge us for all of those after checking out. After returning home we got bill of $100+ which directly mean its a scam Don’t recommend at all ☹️ If you want parking space its $45 extra for 1 night 1 space🤔 For positive site breakfast was great and service was excellent 👌
