We recently stayed at Rydges South Bank and couldn’t be more impressed. From the moment we arrived, the staff were warm, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. The room was spotless, modern, and extremely comfortable, with beautiful views. The location is unbeatable, right in the heart of South Bank with easy access to restaurants, the river, and everything Brisbane has to offer. Every part of the experience was seamless and enjoyable. We will definitely be returning and highly recommend Rydges South Bank to anyone looking for a high-quality, stress-free stay.

We really enjoyed our stay. Very comfortable. Great location to restaurants on South Bank. Minutes to the river walk and pools. Nice to have a balcony to enjoy our morning coffee or you could also sit at the very comfortable patio area, by pool. We were on second floor and still had a nice view of the streets and pool area.
