“No wifi!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 May 2013 NEW

This hotel is in a great location - close to King St, Newtown, and lots of fun shops and excellent restaurants. However, as others have said, this hotel badly needs to be refurbished. While my room was clean and comfortable and everything I needed, there was one major, major drawback - there is no wifi in the room. There is... More

“run down”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 May 2013

Smelly carpets and bathroom, paint peeling from the wall, no decoration... really not expecting this considering this is part of the Rydges group and considering their rates aren't cheap. The bed was fine though. Lots of noise (banging doors etc.) so take your earplugs.

“Disappointing for Rydges”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 May 2013

Desperately old and in need of refurbishment. The smell of musty carpet hits you as you get out of the lift and the room smelt like a urinal overlayed with bleach. Not totally pleasant! Window was screwed shut so no fresh air available. Upside was that it was actually clean - although carpets and curtains were stained. But the bed... More

“A little Dissappointing”

This is our second visit to this hotel due to its location to eateries in Newtown, public transport to the city and its price. This hotel is in need of refurbishment. This time we stayed on the second floor where the smell of damp carpet was overpowering. Our room was adequate for our needs with 2 children however only half... More

“Sometimes its the little things that make a difference.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 May 2013 via mobile

Hotel has convenient location with public transport very accessible. Parking garage is very difficult to maneuver around with pillars everywhere and our pass never worked meaning you had to wait for someone to answer the intercom and remotely open the door. Only one lift was in service which made for lengthy delays for us trying to go down to breakfast... More

“Convenient”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 April 2013

We find the carpark is quite difficult to manouver because of all the pillars. The room was spacious but was in need of a face lift. The best quality of this motel is its location to RPA and Newton. Also the convenience of the bus stop out the front with easy access to the city. Rydges used to offer a... More

“Large spacious room, dated decor, hole in bathroom wall & peeling paint”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 April 2013

No doubt an impressive hotel when built, this hotel suffers from lack of investment. The staff were pleasant and my room service meal was tasty. However, the rusted shower rail, peeling paint and large hole in the wall under the shower were inexcusable. The bones of this hotel are good - my room was large and spacious with a large... More
