We had a fantastic stay. Right in Darling Harbour, we went to the maritime museum and aquarium and animal park and the imax cinema. We went to the little snail restaurant.
Yes there is a construction site in front but from our room you could still see the water and buildings lit up at night and I didn’t mind watching the cranes at work.
I have to compliment the hotel on the temperature of the room, it was perfect, we didn’t touch the aircon control at all.

I am staying for 5 nights here, the room is quite big, and has the separating door for bed, it has a pool and gym, breakfast cafe is next to the hotel
What i considered this hotel is because their washing machine and dryer inside the bedroom.
The minus are
- this is old hotel, and for that price i guess i can get more facilities than here
- the bed is very smallll ( smaller than queen size)
- the lobby also very small ( but u can get free coffee in the lobby )
- smelly
When u out from the lift, u can smell something that is like old and food idk whats that but it is so smelly.

We booked hotel for convenience for our wedding.
Pros:
The location is awesome, only 7min walk from Gadigal Metro Station and about 5mins from Townhall station.
Check is smooth, we were quickly allocated a room. If you are a member with IHG they will allow you to have a later check out.
The size of the room was very good.
Cons:
The cleanliness of the room was very sad, quite disappointing that a 4 star hotel doesn’t have late night housekeeping.
There were grey stains on the pillows.
Dirty bits in the shower.
Housekeeping service was very bad. They somehow made the bed with our personal items wedged between the sheets which took up a really long time to find.
They didn’t bother to replace towels and remove all the rubbish from our room.
All in all, not the greatest experience. Would not recommend. Poor service, overpriced.

It was a pleasant experience here. The location is super accessible to tourist places in sydney. Fish market, opera house... Etc etc.... most of the places will all be walking distance. Location is tip top already to ferry ports as well. Hotel staff were really friendly and providing great care. Room wise it's tidy and clean. With rather good tech devices built in already.
Breakfast was good amount of variety and enough seating.
Will surely be coming back again for a visit!

The hotel is close to Darling Harbour, Queen Victoria Building, town hall and so on. It’s very convenient for traveller. The service provided by Parkroyal is excellent. Staffs are well-trained and willing to provide help. Nonetheless, looks like the building was built long time ago before becoming a Parkroyal hotel. There’s no hand-held shower in the bathroom. Worse, the bathroom accessories are old, and the water pipes in the wall are making loud noise when turning on the shower tap. Such a noise from either downstairs or upstairs woke me up in the early morning.

Great location and overall an amazing stay, but soundproofing could be much better. Take note that there are rooms without the balcony , which I should have asked prior checking in.
The hotel is in a fantastic location — very convenient and accessible, which made exploring the area super easy. The room itself was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. However the housekeeping service, the blanket’s sheets were removed by us but she just left on the floor instead of cleaning it up and the vanity kit was not restored. (I’m not entirely sure how is housekeeping like in AUS, but it’s not the best)
That said, the walls are extremely thin, and noise was a consistent issue throughout. You can hear people talking and walking in the hallway, the housekeeping trolley rolling by, and even the closing of nearby doors, which is surprisingly loud and jarring. The other rooms are very close to each other, so you can even hear the other rooms alarm(which kept snoozing 3 times from 7am) the doors do not have a soft close to when it closes it keeps banging— it gets disruptive.
If you’re a light sleeper or sensitive to noise, this might be something to keep in mind. But if you’re okay with a bit of background noise, the hotel still offers great value in a prime location. REMEMBER to ask if there’s any renovation works happening prior to booking (we had ours on the last day and the drilling was so loud)

Very good and centralised location- walking distance to Chinatown, Pitt St Mall, George Street for main shopping & dining areas, with easy access to light rail, metro and train stations. World Square shopping area is just downstairs with a Coles supermarket and many eateries/bakeries around. The bed was comfortable, but I find the amenities are very basic compared to hotels in Asia countries (for example they don’t provide cotton pads/buds). The hotel is showing signs of ageing esp the bathroom but the room is quite spacious for a central hotel (we had both shower box and bath tub). Concierge is very helpful and courteous, the hotel supplies umbrella for rainy days which is a very nice gesture. Overall it was a great stay, thank you Rydges World Square.

BBENJAMIN WILLIAM HANSEN2025.01.24
Room was right next to the elevator, so constant deep hum/roar from that keeping me awake. View was right into an office with workers 20 feet away, pretty great... Cockroach in the room. Led with the bad, here's the good: location. It's downtown, short walk from all that stuff. Overall, could be worse - perhaps not worth the price?

Very nice and helpful staff.
Good bedding.
Excellent location.
Note there is a bar next to the hotel that can play music until around 11PM on Thursdays to Saturdays evening. So bring earplugs and/or ask for a quiet facing room (there are some looking towards the inner courtyard)

BBriFkidVery cleaned room and nice helpers. Near Macquarie Centre and metro, easy to go everywhere and shopping anytime. Nice laundry room and the fitness room. But the choice of breakfast provided by the hotel is very limited, still tastes good. We stayed for 7 nights and everything went well. This place is highly recommended. You can find many chargers in the room. Good privacy and quiet space.
EElisayustianaI love to staying here because of the location, environment, near darling square, paddys market, and kids stay for free.
Room
Our room has been upgraded to deluxe i think, the bed is queen size, has a bathtub.
They offer the cleaning service without any charge.
Breakfast
Breaksfast are really help when u stay here, because everything is like 17$ above quite expensive.
The breakfast consist of scrambled egg, hard boiled egg, any kind of bread, mushroom, sausages, bacon, one asian dish like mie goreng, hashbrown, coffee, tea, milk, yoghurt, fruits, chia pudding, salad, cereals, so complete for simple bfast.
The minus only the bed, it is not comfy, maybe they should change the pillow or bed ?

RR Katy YMy family of 3 checked in early around noon. We stayed at a lovely 1 bedroom apartment on e 2nd level with a balcony which overlooks e street below. Apartment was spacious, amenities provided were sufficient though one could request for more when necessary.
What we loved best was e location which was so convenient for us to check out different places of Sydney. We ended up walking to our destinations most of e time while enjoying e weather and scenery. There was ample food choices all around e hotel too. Apart from a busier and noisier street during e weekend, which usually dies down by midnight, my family and I had a great stay in Rydges.
HhengchLocation next to central station provides easy transport to many attractions, extremely convenient. Male staff from the front reception are attentive and very helpful to bring our luggages down the wet stairs from railway square entrance on a rainy day. For the room, bed mattress unable to absorb motion transfer from a tossing sleeping partner, twin bed a better choice on hindsight. Bedside table a little dusty throughout our stay even after room cleaning, cleanliness could be better.
AAnonymous UserA group of us stayed here for a couple of nights. The location is really good, especially when you're having a meeting or convention nearby.
The building and the rooms are all quite dated, but at least the rooms were acceptably clean. Bed was also alright. The building felt like a really old dormitory.
However, something that happened kind of put us off. We checked in and were taking a nap as we were tired. All of a sudden someone opened the door and two other guests came in. We were all of course shocked and apparently the front desk double booked the same room. Went to the front desk, no apologies but just an acknowledgement. At least it was resolved pretty quickly.

KKat OThe hotel is located in a great and laid back environment. Away from the busy city and a short 5 mins walk to the Macquerie Park Metro Station, 25 mins walk to the Macquerie Centre, with Mac KFC and Asian Food Eateries located just opposite across the hotel. There is also a direct public bus from the hotel to Birkenhead Point Outlet and City! The hotel even provide the daily house keeping services throughout the Christmas Period, thanks to the team for everything! We hope to be back and stay again in the future 👍🏻
GGuest UserThe staff were very helpful and friendly. Walking distance to the shops and plenty of food places or the pub for a cheap meal.
Although it was being renovated it was no problem.

GGuest UserThis was a little staycation for us - the location was fantastic for us as we were seeing shows at ICC and Lyric theatre both walkable.
The accommodation was clean, kitchen well equipped with everything you need. Basic studio room but comfortable. We didn’t have much to do with staff apart from original check-in which was quick and uncomplicated except we did extend our stay but had to check-in twice 🤷♀️
We will stay here again as it was so convenient to everything.

JJarvey AustriaI booked a room with a balcony but when I checked in they said it not available coz their system says standard twin room and showed then showers them
My boking when they saw it they said they can’t provide that room on the first night so have to stay in a different room then they said they will bring my bags to the new room but ended up it was in the reception. That wrong system happens a couple of times already but they still haven’t fix the problem. Im not sure I’m gonna stay there again if ever I go back to Sydney. Their location was really good though.

Initially, supposed to be there for 2 days only, however the facility and service provided by the friendly staff changed my plans to stay there until I had to leave Australia on 20.05.2025. Thank you Metro Marlow staffs I have recommended you my relatives and workmates here in Fiji.
