We have stayed here on a couple of occasions and found it to be neat and tidy and very convenient to everything in and around the city via tram. The staff are friendly and we always have free parking and breakfast which is pretty rare in Melbourne city, and it's great being able to leave our car somewhere for the... More

I've checked into the hotel today after being with my son at RCH. My wife and son are over there in a public hospital and I believe there rooms better. This hotel was originally the Marco Polo which I stayed in many times 10-12 years ago for work. The room I'm in (215) is well below average and would rate... More

Thanks for bringing the state of the bathroom in this room to my attention, I am sorry we didnt pick this one up earlier. The bathroom has been fully stripped and repainted this week and now in a good state - the next guest will be happy with the facilities. We are repainting all rooms in the hotel, the majority...

We used the Rydges Nth Melbourne this week for our team meeting - the meeting room facilities were very good and included the use of a data projector. I found the staff to be friendly and professional and more than happy to deal with any requests - even when they had a large number of guests coming and going all... More

The proximity to the CBD is great for corporate meetings - parking is the big bonus - city parking can be around $30-40 per day so being 5 minutes outside the CBD has its advantages! We can accommodate meetings of around 100 Theatre Style, around 70 at Open Rounds - 90 for banquet sittings. More and more companies are looking... More

We had a weekend course and chose the rydges for it's location more than anything and we were pleasantly surprised. The staff were awesome, friendly but polite and very efficeint. Our room was average, clean and spacious, it was an odd shape and a little noisy being next to the elevator but it was cheap considering it was Grand Prix... More

Glad you enjoyed the weekend, it certainly was a hectic time in Melbourne with the Grand Prix and the expo at the Showgrounds which are just round the corner - the area is always pumping around the time of special events. The location works as the tram is right on our doorstep to get you into the city quickly, and... More

This is great for what you pay. It is clean and very conveniently situated- Lygon st is an easy 20 walk or cheap cab ride, and there are trams right outside that take you to the city or the airport. There are services like a chemist and a convenience store just a two minute walk away. The rooms are small... More

Thanks for your thoughts, The location is also really handy to Melbourne Zoo just a few minutes by tram, and you pass by the Queen Victoria Market on the way to the CBD which is a great spot for travellers. The local area has some great finds, the Errol St precinct has a few gems for dining out and some... More

We expected this hotel to be decent given its part of the Rydges chain but it was awful. the decor needed a desperate upgrade, the carpet was torn, there was only one bedisde table in the room with a queen bed etc. The staff were pleasant enough and the view over melbourne OK but in general I would stay elsewhere....

Thank you for your recent review of the hotel. Since your stay way back in October there has been a lot of work done on the property; refurbishing public areas, replacing carpets, replastering walls, repainting, new artwork etc, so I am confident if you were to look again you would find the decor more pleasing. There is more to come... More

A nice hotel for a few nights in North Melbourne. Clean and tidy rooms, with enough space to keep someone happy. A little bit away from mainstream shops/dining, but ok for a short trip. The breakfast facilities were quite nice, and hotel staff were good. Shame it didn't have a gym on-site, you had to travel a 10 minutes to... More

Thanks for taking time to review us following your stay last week. I appreciate the positive feedback on the facilities, we have put a lot of effort into upgrading the hotel in the past few months, in particular the foyer and restaurant (new carpet, repainting, new furniture on the way), and the other public areas. The new breakfast set up... More
