Hotel Rydges Hobart (Hobart, Australia)

The staff at the hotel rated really well amongst people who left reviews. The staff here are said to be friendly and welcoming as well as being very well trained and professional in the discharge of their dutires. The reception staff were singled out consistently as being particuarly excellent.

Guest comments included a number from people who thought that the hotel represented excellent value for money, particularly regarding the size and space in the rooms and that the hotel was in central Hobart; which can be expensive for the budget minded traveller.

A number of travellers appreciated having a small kitchenette as standard in their rooms and whilst it was for some basic, it provided a degree of amenity which improved their stay as they could make a cup of tea or make light meals.

Guests were not impressed by the standard of cleaning at the hotel with many complaining in their reviews about the mould in the bathrooms, dirty carpets, the hair from other guests on the soft furnishings and the dirty windows.

Although guests appreciated that breakfast was included in the room tariff a number of people left comments in their reviews for future travellers to skip the offer of breakfast and find their morning meal elsewhere; as the food was bland and boring and not good quality.

A number of people had a lot to say on the very dated styling of the hotel, complete with wood panelling and old world furniture. Guests commented that the rooms needed an overhaul to bring them out of the 1970's vintage genre to a more modern and contemporary feel.
