We were picking up our daughter from University of Sydney, so that was our initial criteria.... but we were pleasantly surprised with how lovely the hotel was. Tidying the room was hit and miss, but the staff was lovely.

One of the Worst Hotel Experiences I’ve Ever Had

My stay at Rydges Camperdown was extremely disappointing. When I checked in, an older Asian gentleman at the front desk politely informed me there was a breakfast discount if I paid at reception before heading to the restaurant. The next day, I did exactly that. This time, a young Asian man was there—he said his name was Rain. No name tag, no visible ID. I had to ask him directly. He spoke to me rudely, told me there’s no discount, and insisted it had to be paid before check-in. I explained what his colleague said, but he treated me like I was lying. Over $11. He said he’d “check if my story was true” and let me pay $24 instead of $35 for that day only. I’d already paid over $1100 for the stay. I’m a doctor staying for hospital work—why would I lie about breakfast? The food was dry and limited, not worth the drama. Then the heater in my room didn’t work. I reported it, and they ignored me for 4 nights. I slept in a freezing room until they responded one night before checkout. When I got sick, I ordered medication. The Uber driver arrived, but Rain refused to send it up or bring it to my room. I told him I was unwell and could barely move. He still said I had to come down myself. I only managed to pick it up the next day. Most staff were fine, but Rain was unprofessional, cold, and disrespectful. He shouldn’t be in hospitality. Do yourself a favour: skip this hotel. There are hostels with better service, warmer rooms, and more dignity. Rydges Camperdown was a complete let down

Location convenient. Value for money. A bit on the shabby side perhaps. But good linen and towels. Helpful service.
