Rydges Hotels in Melbourne

Booked a two-bedroom apartment and was pleasantly surprised. The room was very spacious, and having a washing machine with laundry detergent provided was super convenient for doing laundry. The soundproofing was great, and parking was very easy too.

The location is genuinely great, right in Chinatown. Downstairs, you can find anything you want to eat. It's a perfect spot for Chinese tourists because you can get Chinese food anytime. If you need a convenience store, there's one right next door. You can also head to Chinatown for noodles in the morning. Across the street, there's a theater currently showing a Michael Jackson musical. You can check in online in advance; they'll send you an email. I checked in at the front desk, and the Indian guy was very friendly. They gave me a high-floor room. The room size isn't big, but it's just right for one or two people. The bed and pillows are comfortable, and it's very clean. However, there's no complimentary bottled water or slippers, which really surprised me. The bathroom also lacks a bath mat, so be careful when showering. Otherwise, everything else is pretty good. The gym isn't large, but the equipment is sufficient, with plenty of machines for compound training. I didn't opt for breakfast because there are so many food options downstairs, all within walking distance. The lobby bar on the ground floor is lively in the evenings. Overall, the price-performance ratio is excellent, but many things are minimalist, like the lack of slippers and water. The location is good, and the comfort level is adequate. So, if you prioritize price and location, this place is a solid choice.

This hotel is located in a golf course community with upscale residences, a golf club, and the hotel itself. The whole environment is incredibly comfortable, and what's even better is the abundance of wildlife; you can observe kangaroos up close. It's much better than just wandering around parks. The hotel breakfast is also quite rich, and many people choose to hold their weddings here. Plus, the price isn't expensive. Highly recommended!
