Very well located on Canberra Ave, with Parliament house a short walk to the west, and Manuka Oval a five minute walk to the east. Plenty of eating out options on the nearby Kingston foreshore. The bar had an intimate feel even though it was located in an atrium, and the staff were attentive. The room was clean, spacey and functional, though the wardrobe units look a bit dated and in need of a refurb. Overall my stay was a comfortable and busy one, in a location that was easy to the major attractions.

The room was comfortable and clean. The TV didn't work very well and when I enquired about it I was told to unplug and plug back in which makes me believe it was an ongoing issue. The buffet breakfast was very nice. The carpark wasn't great, very small spots and the licence plate recognition to get in and out of the carpark only worked sometimes.

Fantastic Stay with Great Amenities
Our stay at the Rydges Canberra hotel was fantastic. Check-in was quick and hassle-free, and the room was ready for us. The beds and pillows are very comfortable, with both firm and soft pillows to suit all preferences. The breakfast is plentiful and offers options for all tastes. The hotel also has a pool, spa, and gym, with plenty of towels available for use. The temperature of both the pool and spa was perfect. The parking is secure, and there are enough spaces — I never had trouble finding a spot. The only area for improvement is that I had to move a bed to look for something and found a winter hat and a sock that didn’t belong to me or any member of my family. The cleaning staff should move the beds and vacuum underneath because it’s clear that they don’t usually do so.

Good comfy beds, nice view shower was very nice. Property says it was renovated back a few years ago and have seemed to have left behind small paint drops and paint flaking off near the room door. The toilet is placed so close to the wall even a skinny person gets poked by the toilet roll holder sticking out. All in all a nice stay and a nice room if you put this aside. Staff was very welcoming
