Rydges World Square in Sydney

I hosted a seminar in the Brickfield Room at Rydges Hotel World Square on Saturday, 8 November 2025, and the service we received was exceptional.

A special thank you to Herman, who went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. He pre-arranged and tested all the equipment—including the speakers, projector, and other facilities—before my arrival. When I walked in, everything was set up perfectly and working flawlessly. He even provided a remote controller with a red-spot laser function, which made delivering my 3-hour presentation so much easier and more professional.

Throughout the entire 4+ hours, Herman checked in regularly to see if we needed any assistance and managed the timing of our dinner service perfectly, bringing out the dishes right as all guests were seated.

I would also like to sincerely thank Natasha and Zel for their proactive planning and excellent coordination. They gathered our requirements early and arranged everything beautifully, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free.

I highly recommend Rydges Hotel World Square for business conferences, seminars, and corporate events. The team’s professionalism, attention to detail, and warm hospitality truly made our event a success.

Great location, couple of minutes easy walk from Museum Station. Slightly further walk to the light rail, but still an easy walk in less than 5 minutes.
Got a free upgrade to a superior room on a higher floor. Not sure if the room itself was better, but still no view, looked straight into another building.
Fairly good selection of food for the breakfast.
Very friendly staff, will to help where they can.
Will definitely stay there again.

Great location, plenty of restaurants very close by, friendly staff and good facilities

Enjoyed our stay. Close to everything. Gym was handy. Will stay again.

the location is perfect, close to train station and near to shopping mall; however, the room is next to a main street, and the window/noise insulation is not that good, very noise at night. not recommended if you are a light sleeper

Good location, heart of the CBD, easy to walk to the buzzy areas, also easy to get plenty of passive cigarette smoke right outside the hotel from those low-IQ anti-lung people. Museum [Train] Station is nearby which is good - 15min ride to domestic airport, bus stops nearby can take you to The Gap too. Room was spacious, functional, it's not Hilton but no complaints, cleaning staff are polite and accommodating. No toothbrush or extra soap bars but they were very kind to provide it all when requested — even at 22:00. All staff were friendly, nothing but good vibes, except the Aussie high school girl who checked us in at reception on Friday evening. She was vacant in the brain department, seemed confused about being awake and conversing at the same time. Didn't tell us where breakfast would be (but i can follow my nose), what time it ends (i eat early anyway, so was ok), where the gym is etc. When asked, she said you get discounts on drinks at 'Cidery', although that's not the breakfast place, and i don't drink anyway but she wouldn't know that because she didn't appear to be a fan of knowledge or Q&A. All she said was "Breakfast is at 'Ember' " — clearly i'm supposed to know this world famous restaurant named after a dying fire, what floor it's on and which TV show the chef was on. I brilliantly figured out it's 'Amber', it is across the lounge from reception on the same level, which is one level above the entrance on Pitt Street, and i should've spotted it by turning around and checking all the angles, so my bad. There is no TV show chef but the buffet is quite good, as is the machine coffee (which is also nice and hot), so you don't need to order cappuccinos which is an extra charge (If you're new to Aus, note that all cappuccinos/lattes are at least AUD 5.00 and the service is always good, partly because they're having a laugh about selling you mostly warm milk at $5 a mug. Also coffees are never hot enough no matter how many times you say 'extra hot please' because according to law, only the weather is allowed to go above 33 degrees Celsius). Don't know if the hotel had wifi, because Reception-Girl-With-Plastic-Smile never mentioned it (It's ok, my mobile data is unlimited). The only useful thing she told us was the hotel is working on building a swimming pool someday. My wife said I must've met girls like her at Cornell except for the fact that i didn't. Overall i recommend Rydges (and also Hilton), although I prefer the correct spelling of "ridge".
