The apartment was very dated, it was like housing commission met motel. The plumbing in both bathrooms has a problem, the smell was so bad we had to keep the doors closed as it seeped into the rest of the unit. Small inconveniences like no working power point in the ensuite, no room information to show there were dining options or check out times etc, no parking, all made this over priced stay extremely disappointing.

Needs better cleaning, hair and noodles in the kitchen sink, it smelt in the bathroom as they’re was no fan. The pool, spa and sauna was nice, but even that needed a good clean and had a bad smell. Traffic noise. A hair on one of the glass cups in the bathroom. Reception lady told us our room was ready, when we got there a worker was still cleaning the windows. The bed was comfy even the pillows, the breakfast was great and the area was clean. The staff in the breakfast area were nice. The $10 discount off breakfast for opted out of housekeeping was good. Luggage storage provided, 24 hour reception. Coffee, Coffee pods, range of teas and hot chocolate free in the room. The TV in the bedroom was good as well. Nice little balcony. In room safe.

Great location, easy walk to Darling Harbour and George street for shopping and trams. Staff were friendly and happy to help were they could. Some of the amenities needed some upgrading, like the pool and gym, but still able to be used. We stayed in an older apartment, which was spacious and well equipped for a family of 4. We would stay again, but pay for an upgrade to a renovated room. Overall a good experience.

Do not book a 2 bed apartment unless you want to be in a dark hole with a view of a brick wall and the back of buildings. The room also smelt weird/bad. The carpet was rippled and ripped. The cleaners threw out our bag of unopened groceries and then we were quizzed by staff and basically accused of lying - they did offer a breakfast but the inconvenience of having to walk back to the shops and having none of the specific foods one of our children would eat was a big inconvenience. The cleaners also did not clean the bathroom the first clean, meaning we had to have them come again the day after, meaning we could not take advantage of the dining room credit by forfeiting a clean. The pool area had a wafting sewerage aroma! Expensive for what it is…room types and what you get should be better advertised…would never stay here again

Rydges Darling Square is conveniently located to public transport, Chinatown, Darling Harbour and Cockle Bay. It was a very comfortable hotel that offered a spacious room, comfortable bed and very good facilities. The staff were very quick to respond to requests we made of them. This is our second stay at the hotel and we would highly recommend it staying in Sydney.
