"I recently stayed at the Rydges Hotel on Exhibition Street in Melbourne, and I can’t fault it. It was a wonderful experience.
One of the highlights was the 24/7 reception service, which made everything feel convenient and welcoming. The pool, gym, and outdoor area were excellent for a change of scenery and added to the overall comfort of my stay.
In terms of amenities, the “Thank You” shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the showers were a nice touch—handy for my next visit. However, I did find it a little disappointing that disposable slippers and bathrobes weren’t provided, as these would have added an extra level of comfort.
The bathrooms were spotless, with tiled flooring and a great showerhead that made the space feel modern and fresh. A room service menu was provided, which I thought was convenient and fairly priced, though I didn’t use it. The kitchen closed at 10:00 pm, but drinks were still available around the clock, which I appreciated.
The only aspect that fell short was housekeeping. When I requested my room to be freshened up, I expected vacuumed floors, a cleaned toilet, and fresh sheets. Unfortunately, this wasn’t the case, particularly on my last night when I was most looking forward to clean bedding.
Overall, though, my stay at Rydges was highly enjoyable, and I’d happily return. With just a few improvements in housekeeping and small touches like slippers and robes, it would be near perfect."
