Rydges Canberra

Corner Canberra Ave & National Circuit
We stayed for 6 nights and Rydges was great for location, parking however extra $25 per night, pool spa and sauna were good, staff were very friendly and nice, however a little dated, good size pool. However it could do with a renovation and better cleanliness, numerous marks on walls and doors, paint chips on doors amd walls, dirty vent, dirt under bed On Saturday night at 11pm there was a false fire alarm and we all had to have a evacuation which was hard to get the kids back to sleep. Was able to get complimentary drinks we billed to room. It looks like they reduce amd have minimal cleaning.

Friendly, professional staff. Excellent location to Manuka Oval. Quiet, clean, comfortable room.

Very well located on Canberra Ave, with Parliament house a short walk to the west, and Manuka Oval a five minute walk to the east. Plenty of eating out options on the nearby Kingston foreshore. The bar had an intimate feel even though it was located in an atrium, and the staff were attentive. The room was clean, spacey and functional, though the wardrobe units look a bit dated and in need of a refurb. Overall my stay was a comfortable and busy one, in a location that was easy to the major attractions.

Very spacious room with comfortable bedding. Common areas could be cleaner (hallways) where guests walk - needed a vacuum and dishes removed etc. A very central location with helpful staff and good on site facilities.

Convenience and central location. Decor is a bit worn but other than this, all good.

Overpriced for a dated hotel in Canberra. Dodgy aircon blowing cold air even when off. View out our window was to an internal corridor, so we had to keep blinds closed. Breakfast buffet was understaffed, many items unavailable and a pretty poor experience. Staff seemed disinterested.
