We love staying at Rydges Camperdown. Our rooms always large, clean and quiet. The location is great. Close to the city and restaurants in Newtown and Enmore.

Rooms are tired and need new carpet, paint and undated bathrooms. The heating/cooling has no temperature control - its either on or off. Room service burger was bad: small nasty tasting patty, dry bun, minimal other fillings. Burgers can be great, good, or merely average but its a long time since Ive tried an unpleasant tasting one. Breakfast: hot food barely warm, cold food uninspiring. I suspect this hotel banks on the fact it has a captive audience in visitors the Uni and the hospital to stay in business.

3rd floor room, feeling very tired and unloved. Old carpet, chipped paint, scratched and chipped cabinetry in the room, re-painted bath/shower which is chipped and cracked. Cheap, thin toilet paper. BUT....... clean (not smelly), nice comfortable bed, nice bath products (soap etc.), well stocked minibar. Good breakfast options available. No problems with the free wifi. Location is the asset for this hotel, and if it updated and felt more welcoming, I would definitely stay here again. At this stage I will shop around for other options next time I need a hotel in the area.

Ordered champagne on arrival. To arrive and check in, the lady behind the desk knew nothing about it. Go to our room which smelt like old mould, had exposed wires, one PowerPoint was faulty, broken glass in the fridge. Called down to reception again asking for my champagne I’d pre purchased.. car park is an absolute joke if you want parking in the basement. Tiny car parks, my only option was to park on the side and hope I wasn’t in anyone’s way.

Stayed for 4 nights in a spacious, well-equipped room with a fantastically comfortable bed. The buffet breakfast was a bit disapppointing - a bit too greasy - although there was, of course, cereal and fresh fruit. Staff were polite and helpful - moved us on arrival as we were next to a group of lads celebrating a bucks’ turn. The rate was very reasonable - I suppose because of the holiday period.

Motel is very old and very dated. Over priced rooms, half motel empty. Most guests are relatives of RPA patients, mostly pensioners, so way over priced for these people. A joke to charge guests for any parking. Meals are very poor and dear as poison. Builders making heaps of nose and smoking while fitting out new lift. No Good, No Warning of this when booking room. Old lifts are working very poorly. Your not in the centre of Sydney, but charge the same price for poor old smelly rooms. Staff were nice, but they understand that their motel is very second rate. Two star motel at its best. Wouldn’t recommend this motel to anyone. Pick your act up. I say & quick !!!!! Adam

Our stay went well. We were able to book the accommodation we required. The member benefits were fantastic, late checkout without ridiculous cost. However, the negative is the cost of the rooms does not match the star ratings. Very overpriced for 3 star decor. Tired decor, bathrooms and furniture. Years past renovation time. Also charging $25.00 for parking underneath the building is very greedy. The parking underneath is disorganised and dangerous.

Initially my stay was for 1 night then I found out I was to have more tests at RPA (terminal illness etc) so I increased my stay to 4 nights and needed an extra so 5 in all. I could not fault it. I loved my room, you definitely put a smile on my face with the view which made my stay even better. I just felt compared to other hotels in the area and in Sydney that the parking was very hefty at $25 pn. I will be coming back in a few more weeks to do it all again.

I found the room a very good size, plenty of room with king size bed plus table and chairs. Large windows allowed plenty of light, however view was not great out the back. The bathroom however was not good at all. The tiles around the taps had not been cut properly and there were quite large gaps around fawcet and taps that you could actually see into the wall. There was actually hair on the tile in the shower so cleaning was not done propertly. Shower curtain not appealing due to possibility of harbouring germs. The whole motel is extremely dated, even smells old in hallways, foyer etc. This motel is very convenient to where we wanted to go which was University of Sydney and we paid a very good price compared to other properties nearby so I am partly satisfied. It served a purpose but would never stay here if needed more than just overnight. Car parking is plenty and easily accessible.

Hi I think the queen bed/single bed room was good value for money, but your reception staff never once greeted or acknowledged us as we entered the building (except upon check-in when we were physically at the desk). A friend who dropped us there has worked in the hotel industry before - his comments were that there was not 'attention to detail' - for example, we had a new bar top on our bar that was still in plain wood not sanded or stained to attempt to match the existing unit. Carpet in our room was threadbare in places. Great view down parramatta road and I enjoyed having the facility to open the window. Bar area downstairs was great, as was the free drink voucher. Some 'finishing touches' - small things, e.g. having numbers of a uniform size on signs, etc. could all help. Can I suggest you enlisting my friend who is a hotelier consultant to improve on a few things? I'd be happy to supply his number to you.

Hotel was as advertised, easy to get to, parking was easy, but I never tried the underground option. Couple of minor niggles, the cable ducting at the windows was annoying as I kept kicking it as I stood at the window, and the cost of the breakfast seemed excessive at $24. I realise there are overheads but I doubt I could have eaten $24 worth of food given what was on offer. I will use the hotel again as those minor issues were not off-putting.

Being semi retired, I am doing a part time Uni Course at UTS. We always stop at Rydges Camperdown for the 3 day lecture blocks, as they really look after us and give us our favourite room. One thing that needs improving is the fresh fruit options for breakfast. It has now been cut back to a bowl of watermelon and rock melon blocks. There used to be a bigger variety years ago with bowls of peaches and prunes available as well. They do make the little smoothies sometimes, and that needs to be encouraged.

Having stayed recently at the Rydges Hotel in Canberra, Brisbane and World Square Sydney, i was looking forward to staying at your hotel. I had finished a business trip 7pm Friday night and instead of flying home I stayed an extra night at my own expense before flying home late Saturday morning. The tariff was moderate but frankly I would have paid a bit more for a better standard of decor/room condition. The room was tired with patched tiles in the bathroom and poor workmanship on repairs. the basin had been replaced recently but nothing else in the bathroom had been for several years (I did ask for a free standing shower but I was given a shower over a tub). The TV and bed worked fine, the Check-In staff were friendly and I appreciated the morning newspaper. Perhaps the best way I could put it is I am due to come to Sydney with my wife for a weekend away. we have events in the city but the price of hotels is much more expensive and thought the short distance from the city would offset the moderate tariff. I decided I would not book until after I had stayed at your hotel. Sadly I have decided that I will pay the extra to stay in the city. I understand this is not what you want to hear but you have asked for my feedback and while blunt, this is how I felt after staying in your hotel. If you refurbished your rooms and charged me $200 not $169 per night, would I pay the extra? Yes I would

Having stayed in Rydges hotels before and knowing their standards I was totally disappointed in this particular hotel. Tired rooms that smelled musty. Broken things such as the clothes line in the bathroom. A poor flushing toilet. Although the room was clean, it was difficult to look past the desperate need for maintenance that is required. Overall disappointing for the price and fro the brand that is normally associated with quality. The staff however were friendly and efficient.

Arrived and asked for another room due to the tired state of the first one. The second room was only better because it was roomier. Couldn't turn on the air conditioner because it was so noisy. Have stayed at this hotel before and over the years it has been getting worse - it's clear to see no money is being spent on keeping it maintained or clean. There were run marks from something in the lift. Staff were friendly and accommodating even though I felt like I was complaining. I get that they only work there and can't control the condition of the hotel. I wouldn't say the cost reflected the state of the hotel room/s. It wasn't that cheap and for $30 more we could have stayed in the city in a more modern and comfortable room. We were also then slugged another $25 for parking.

comfortable, clean, convenient
Rydges Camperdown is exceptionally convenient for city engagement. The rooms are comfortable and clean, if somewhat dated in decor and furnishings. The front desk staff are very helpful and polite. My wish would be for quieter air conditioning

Very disappointed with level of service considering cost of rooms.
Disappointing...I feel that I was exploited with the cost of room. I would only recommend hotel because of the closeness to the RPA hospital. Breakfast was ordinary and I was charged $25.00 and had to pay extra for coffee.

As above - efficient check-in (I had done reservation on-line) so no fuss at reception with streamlined processes. Breakfast was very busy both days - no cereal bowls available both days!! - no one seemed to notice so I had to use a glass!! Some regular cleaning of the floor would overcome stickiness due to droplets of fruit juice - which seemed to be widespread. Bar service could be enhanced with serving of bar snacks on purchase. This should be standard for this type of hotel. But have to ask each time.

My partner had an appointment with specialist your Hotel was close to everything and we decided to stay an extra night to attend an event. The only thing I was a little confused about was I booked through a third party and was under the assumption my accomodation was to be $150.00 per night but was charged a different rate every night? This threw me a little when I paid the account. Everything else was very good, service was wonderful, staff arranged taxis for us, lent us an umbrella, helped us with directions,staff in the restaurant were pleasant. Even the housemaid on floor 7 was wonderful, she greeted us every morning asked after our day told us to make sure we come back and visit your Hotel again, we really found her lovely. My partner works in retail and she said she would hire the cleaner lovely customer service. My partner may have to attend RPA in the future and we will stay again, though we will book directly with you next time.

Overall the stays are good. Often room service trays are left outside room for over 24 hours before being collected. Bathrooms also need maintenance attention. Would be nice if there was variation in meals even if this was a weekly chefs choice. Breakfast is very basic but actual price is expensive. Staff are friendly and helpful, some exceed expectation. During winter the rooms were cold and the air conditioner wouldn't heat the room and needed a small heater

I found every thing good except the larger girl on the afternoon shift at the courtesy desk, she was rude and abrupt. I felt she was unapproachable and I wanted to speak to them on the counter as felt I wasn't able to discuss a problem I had. My father had taken ill while I was staying there and had to shorten my stay, I was so stressed that the girl wound be on in the morning to discuss this with that I hardly slept at all. Luck for me there was a lovely young lady and gentleman on the counter and they were so supportive and understanding of the situation. I always stay with Rydges and find the rooms clean and beds comfortable, I usually have breakfast but on this occasion being stressed I did not purchase breakfast. I plan on staying there again and hope the larger girl at the courtesy desk is either not on the shift or has learnt some customer service with a positive attitude.

Booked in short notice, but was a really nice stay and I was happily surprised by the large room size and the view, even from the non-city side. Staff were friendly and helpful. The only downside was the parking that felt like I was Pacman trying to evade ghosts while winding through an Operation! man's body in a large car. Was a relief to have parking though and it tested my driving skills. 10/10 would recommend and stay again.

I guess the first thing I noticed was the chewing gum (or what ever it was) on the floor of the lift. The front doors looked like they hadn't been cleaned for an age. Complete with dust, finger marks etc.

Good morning, Pamela and I had the pleasure of staying for 2 nights last week whilst she had some surgery and treatment at RPA. We really needed this to be as stress free as possible. We had spent a few hours travelling from Nowra on the south coast and were hoping to relax. Indeed...The whole Rydges process was seamless. Checking in was effortless and the room proved to be clean , spacious and functional. Special thanks to the young gentleman managing the restaurant, as he couldn't have been more obliging. He was attentive without smothering us, and his hospitality training and skills were obvious. Both Pamela and I have hospitality backgrounds, and found the time spent in the bar / restaurant really helped take the edge off an otherwise daunting day. After speaking to the restaurant manager, we joined up to the rewards program, enjoyed a lovely dinner and, as we were to return for the post surgery follow up this week, we didnt hesitate to re-book on checkout on the 31st August. Pamela even requested the same room for the stay on Sunday 4th September . It was reassuring to think we were coming back to familiar and predictable surroundings, as we will likely be returning to RPA repeatedly over the coming months We arrived Sunday night late, around 7pm , Pamela attempted check in, with a little difficulty, I put it down to being tired from travelling. Once it was done, we then went to book into restaurant only to find it wasn't open ... We are both vegetarian, and hadn't eaten since Breakfast, and were looking forward to relaxing with a meal before going to bed. Pamela was not fit to go out in the night air, so it was a bit frustrating. I did notice the restaurant operating hours in the room compendium. We found it odd that a major motel had no food available on a Sunday night , particularly as we were not close to many food outlets, but as I said, we should have checked. As a general note, we didn't feel as welcome on the second visit . Contrary to our first stay, the breakfast dining atmosphere was clinical and uninviting . Staff were busy behind the counters and interaction was minimal . The gentleman who attended to us on our first visit, came out to greet us and couldn't have been more helpful. On this occasion we were asked our room number and our selection from a distance, then left to it. I trust you will accept our few criticisms in good faith. As minor as they may seem, with the stresses of the reason for the visit to RPA, it had the potential to sway our decisions for future bookings. Overall we are likely to return and find the location very convenient Thank you Pamela and Ron .

It is annoying to find a kettle that can't be fitted under the sink tap to be filled and needing to use a cup. It is also annoying to find a kettle on the breakfast bar but the only available power point across the room and the glass shelf in the bathroom too small and fragile to support the kettle. Our third adult had little or no sleep in the trundle bed because the mattress springs clearly felt made it too uncomfortable. The undercover car parking is an important aspect for us and the staff were polite and helpful.

Your staff have always been extremely helpful
As a regular because of medical reason , the rooms could do with a spruce up and the dining room menu needs to change occasionally.

I was quite disappointed with our room 408, there was mold in our shower, a Calcium or grim build up in the bath tub, the carpet was worn and dirty, the room was cold, the fire door next to our bedroom would bang all night and the room smelt like smoke, old stale smoke. The hairdryer kept falling off the wall, the toilet seat was broken and the wifi didn't work.

I find that not having the dining room open on a Sunday night frustrating. I understand the economics behind the decision. The bar could be open and providing the same light meal that is available via the in-room dining menu.

The carpet was a bit worn in places, and the bath could've done with a non-slip bath mat (I had to use the floor towel), but I enjoyed staying in two different sixth-floor queen-bed rooms (rooms 621 and 620, respectively) for two nights, as usual. The first night, the previous guest had left his or her shower cap on the hook on the bathroom door, so I wasn't sure the cleaners had done a thorough clean before I arrived. I'm a member of Rydges, and my only other comments would be that it'd be great to have a slightly larger fridge so I could fit my own breakfast in it, that I'd like firmer pillows and that the windows could do with a good clean. The receptionists are always very welcoming and efficient. I stay at Rydges Camperdown, North Sydney and Cronulla regularly, so it'd be great to be rewarded with more free stays and not have to earn 150 points before being eligible.

Room had a disgusting mildew smell, the room was uncomfortably hot, air conditioning couldn't be changed, it was too cold and noisy to open the window to let fresh air in. Bathroom was not very clean, lots of mould and mildew and peeling paint. I didn't sleep well, the mildew smell affected my asthma and I have had to go to the Doctor. This was my third stay in less than 12 months, the first two visits were very good that is why I chose to stay here this time. This time I was very disappointed, the staff weren't very helpful when I told them about my issues with the room either. Sick patients and their families utilise this hotel because of it's proximity to RPA, how sad and disgraceful that their health and recovery could be severely jeopardised due to the substandard of cleanliness and client comfort. Maybe I was just unlucky this time, would have to seriously think twice about using this hotel again.

Iron leaked water everywhere when I tried to use. Bed sheets has what looked like blood spots on them. No shampoo but 2 conditioners! Shower quality poor. Bed blanket had long hairs on it. Air conditioning did not work correctly and dial was in Fahrenheit. Even at maximum the air was cold. This hotel is in desperate need of modernisation. Bar service was terrible. Staff nice but only one person to look after everyone. Will still recommend Rydges brand - but not this hotel.

It is tired, a little smelly, the front desk staff are a little shabby and the restaurant is awful. I have eaten there on numerous occasions when I arrive too late or too tired. The wine at $10 for a small glass is overpriced and the quality of food does not match the high prices. The rooms are fine and parking ok when you can get a space. I cannot work out why Rydges does not spend some money on it as it really could be so much better. Compared to Rydges at Surry Hills...it does not compare. They greet me with a welcome back, remind me about my free drink and are very efficient. The hotel there is much better so come on Rydges......

This is the first time I have stayed at the Rydges Camperdown for quite awhile, although I would stay at Rydges hotels at least 20-25 nights a year. The staff where very pleasant and the room quite, so no complaints there. Breakfast was fresh and tasty, so again no complaints. In fact the only complaint (if you want to call it that) I have is that compared to other hotels in the Rydges group it is looking very tired and appears to need a complete makeover. Don't get me wrong, the hotel is not dirty and doesn't have ripped carpets like others (non-Rydges) I have stayed at in the past. It is simply that the furniture and fixtures are showing their age and could use being replaced with something more modern. Would I stay there again if I need to be in that area of Sydney? Yes. Is it the ugly duckling of the Rydges group? Yes
