This hotel is quite central. The parking entrance is a bit tricky; it's the leftmost lane, actually the entrance to the World Square car park. This setup is different from traditional car park entrances in China, which caused us to miss it and drive around the city center in circles. 

The hotel's dedicated parking is on level 3 (which is actually underground). When you enter the car park, you go down from levels 7, 6, 5, and so on. If you're driving to the hotel, you need to go to level 3. Be sure to follow the signs to the hotel's parking level on level 3 (different hotels use different levels for their private parking, so don't get confused). Once you've parked on level 3 in the hotel's dedicated parking, there's an elevator right next to it that takes you directly to the hotel's front desk on the L floor. Parking is expensive: AUD 60 for a weekend day and AUD 70 on weekdays. You pay by scanning a QR code. I hope this helps anyone driving themselves.

Everything else was fine. Parking in Sydney is really, really expensive if you're driving yourself. 😂

I chose this hotel because I had an early flight the next morning and it was the closest to the airport. I was pleasantly surprised by how spacious and clean the room was. I had a lot of luggage, and there were trolleys downstairs which was super convenient. It's only a 5-minute walk to the international terminal! Highly recommend!

Stayed at The Capitol Hotel Sydney and had a pleasant experience overall. The hotel is in a fantastic central location, close to public transport, Chinatown, and major attractions, making it very convenient for exploring the city. Rooms were clean, modern, and comfortable, though slightly compact. The staff were friendly and helpful, and overall service was smooth. A great option for a short stay in Sydney, especially if location is your priority.

Choosing the right hotel for my Sydney trip really made all the difference! The Rydges World Square completely exceeded my expectations, absolutely deserves a perfect score!

📍Location is unbeatable: Right in the heart of Sydney, within walking distance to the Sydney Opera House and Hyde Park. There are tons of malls and restaurants nearby, making it super convenient for both sightseeing and shopping. It saved so much commute time.
🏨Room Experience: We booked a deluxe twin room, and it was spacious with soft, comfortable bedding. The room was spotlessly clean, no corners missed. All the facilities were complete, and the toiletries were good quality. The soundproofing was excellent, so it was really quiet at night, perfect for a good rest.
💁♀️Service was perfect: Everything from check-in to check-out was incredibly smooth. The front desk staff were warm and professional, proactively offering to help with luggage and answering travel questions. Any request was quickly attended to, with thoughtful attention to detail.
🌿Environment is superb: The hotel lobby has a fantastic design, and the common areas are clean and tidy, creating a comfortable and upscale atmosphere. It's great for relaxing and even for taking photos.

My friend and I had such a comfortable stay. I'll definitely choose this place again on my next trip to Sydney, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting!

First, the negatives. About half an hour after we checked in, a male staff member swiped his card and opened our room door. He said he was delivering hangers, but we hadn't requested any, so perhaps they were meant for another room and delivered by mistake. It was quite a shock regardless. I didn't report it to the staff during my stay, but afterwards, I made sure to double-lock the door every time I entered the room (before, I only locked it at night).

Now, for the positives. The location is excellent, very close to Central Station with many bus and light rail options nearby, making getting around super convenient. I stayed on the eighth floor, and while I could still hear traffic noise at night, which was a bit loud, the room's soundproofing was otherwise good, as I couldn't hear any noise from next door. The room was also very spacious, with a fridge and a safe. Overall, I recommend it.

I thoroughly enjoyed my overnight stay at Rudy’s North Sydney. The lovely man who checked me into the Hotel was so helpful. The following morning the host of the breakfast restaurant was also very friendly and helpful. I would stay here again. Rooms are renovated with nice products.

We stayed for 8 nights with our 3-year-old toddler, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish.

Location: Perfect. We walked easily from the train station after arriving from Sydney Airport. The hotel is within a 10-minute walk to Darling Harbour, about 15 minutes to Wildlife Sydney and SEA LIFE, and right next to Darling Square park. Plus, Coles, Priceline, Chemist Warehouse, and everything else we needed were just minutes away.

Room layout: We booked a one-bedroom apartment with a living room, balcony, large kitchen, and lovely bathroom. The space was huge – ideal for a family. The dining table was a real bonus, and the kitchen had everything we needed. I was able to cook breakfast and dinner for our toddler each day, so we didn’t have to eat out every night. That saved us time, money, and hassle.

Service: Housekeeping came almost every day, and the customer service from the entire team was fantastic – everyone was so friendly and helpful.

If you’re travelling with a young child and want space, convenience, and a welcoming atmosphere, I would absolutely recommend Rydges Darling Square Apartment Hotel. We’ll be back!

Upon arrival the room smelled like stale cigarettes and stagnant water which was extremely unpleasant. I had to prop the door open with my suitcase to get fresh air in with the window open. I ended up going to the supermarket to buy carpet deodoriser and air freshener to get the smell out. I could still smell it when I left after 2 days. When I went to get into bed it was very obvious the bed had been slept in and the pillowcase had not been changed. I had to strip the bed and make it with what was left over with the sheet that goes over the doona. I know it was NYE and paid over $600 a night for the room, but wasn’t expecting the room to not smell ok and have fresh linen.

Have stayed before and would do again. Thanks

Good location, staff were nice.
I found it a little run down, overall.  The photo on the brochure must be a decade old!  Inside the rooms and around the property is not 4 star.

Our family of five stayed here. The play area with a fenced-off baby space was a huge plus. The pool was open and inviting, and since it was a hot spring pool, it was warm and comfortable. We didn't have high expectations for the dinner buffet, but even though there weren't many options, the quality of each dish was excellent, and we were very satisfied. Since it was a Sunday, it was cheaper than other days, and the kids stayed for free, which was great. The room was spacious enough for all five of us (three children). I think the stay would have been even more comfortable if the water facilities were a bit cleaner. It's also just a five-minute drive from town, and there's a gas station nearby for any last-minute purchases. Toothbrushes weren't provided in the room, but we could get them at the front desk. Overall, it was a very satisfying stay.

The overall experience was very disappointing. The service desk was always occupied since there was only one staff member available, which made check-in and any requests very time-consuming. The biggest issue was the hot water kettle in the room—it was in terrible condition, with visible dirt and stains. I needed to boil water for my baby, but it was impossible to use safely. This was a nightmare and left me very dissatisfied with the stay.

Easy to locate and is inside the airport. Handy for those late night arrivals and early morning departures. Have booked to stay again on my return home to Australia

Seriously lacking in hospitality. Asked for a latte at 5:57am and was told “ we don’t  open until 6am”
No newspapers available. Bellhop service virtually nonexistent. Room service was good. Front desk agent untrained and unsupervised. No greeting upon entering the hotel or restaurant. Great mixologist at the bar. 
Kudos to Andreas the only friendly person we met not really sure what his position is there but he was great, helpful and kind to two old ladies with multiple bags. 
No hand soap in the bathroom and towels were not changed. 
$45.00 per day valet car service seems a bit much given that there really isn’t another option. We stayed in a “superior double double “ Not sure what superior meant. One of the beds was hard up against a wall. Less than a meter between end of beds and desk/tv stand. Entertainment system did not offer any pay as you go options just a bunch of sky. No Netflix type options. I will not be recommending this hotel to anyone and most certainly will not be going back!
