Rydges-boenden i Melbourne

Awesome venue! Great location, close to the freeway, heaps of parking. The room was clean, neat and very comfortable. The service from the reception was outstanding. They made the check-in & check-out very smooth. A great restaurant in the building too.

Rydges is a great hotel and the location is perfect. This is my second time staying here. The first time, I booked a Deluxe King Corner Room with the church view, that room is absolutely gorgeous. This time we stayed in a Twin King Suite. The view isn’t as nice, but having the beds separated from the sitting area is perfect, especially for the kids bedtime. A couple of downsides: the pool isn’t very kid-friendly if your children aren’t strong swimmers, or if you’re shorter and need to supervise them closely. The shallow end is still 1.2 metres deep. The couch in the room is also not very comfortable, honestly, the floor felt like a better option. We also had trouble getting through to reception from the room phone. We tried calling four times with no answer and ended up walking down, which was fine, but a bit inconvenient. Room service picked up quickly though, so I’m not sure if there’s an issue with their reception line. Overall, still a lovely stay, just a few things to be aware of.

Nice venue and location setting on golf course. Staff was friendly and helpful. Only wish the lodge had its own pool/gym facilities, paying extra at the independent spa to use the pool/gym was something the lodge/hotel & spa management should negotiate and resolve so that lodge/hotel guests do not have to pay extra to use such facilities.
