My initial booking fell through the cracks and there was no room available for 2 out of 3 nights that we booked. Whilst it was an inconvenience, that staff were apologetic, and did do everything in their power to remedy the situation. They manage to book us in to the Copthorne down the road for 2 nights. That hotel was dated, but functional, and the facilities at the Rydges were definitely much better. The Rydes also offered 50% off the bill at their restaurant, which was nice. Throughout our stay, all the staff from the reception, to rge restaurant, to check out were aware of our situation, and made an extra effort to ensure things were ok. So overall, we were happy given the way things evetuated.

The food is great as I have room service, the beds are ok but the décor is quite dated, I enjoy staying here but would love it if the look was more modern.

Very disappointed that both the gym and pool were closed without any notice of tge closure when I booked online. Eating in the restaurant the drone from the ventilation system was irritating and hard to put up with.

Dear Guest Sorry to hear that you didn't have a good stay, we don't advertise that we have a swimming pool so apologies if you thought there was one. The ventilation system is key to the restaurant as it is an aircon and keeps the temperature ambient for all our customers

No pool no gym but still advertised. Paid too much.
