Rydges Capital Hill

Front reception was a luck of the draw on if you got a friendly and helpful person or a rude , blunt person.

We stayed with a newborn and the crib looks like it hasn't been changed in 20 years. It wasn't set up in our room even after requested and called to check 2 days prior to arrival. Then upon arrival they pulled out the folded bed and blamed us saying we requested a child.

Housekeeping were excellent very experienced and was training at the time and I was impressed by his instruction and safety mind set.

Staff at the cafe was excellent couldn't fault them. They went above and beyond.

Breakfast was $24 for continental and parking cost $12 a day. Something to be aware about.

Overall other than some bumps in the road it was a good stay.

As someone that travels to Canberra on a fortnightly basis, I always choose to stay at Rydges Capital Hill.

The staff are friendly and attentive, the buffet breakfast is always consistent and well-prepared - and the fish and chips on the Room Service menu is among the best I've had anywhere (I always make sure to order at least once in every stay).

What's more, as a member of the Preferred Guest Reward program, I absolutely enjoy the free room upgrades and late checkout benefits.

Conveniently located in the Parliamentary Triangle (and only a short walk to the National Press Club), I heartily recommend Rydges Capital Hill to any traveller coming to Canberra, for business or pleasure.

Clean and with good amenities. Check in team very friendly and professional. Would stay again. Great pool and sauna and there is a florist in the foyer in case you forget. Internet is free but you are charged $12 a day parking.

Very neat and comfortable hotel accommodation. The bar is a great place to catch an evening drink and quick meal at very good prices. Free WiFi was fast and reliable. The staff were very helpful and polite.

I went to Rydges Capital Hill restaurant, Figtree which was great. The menu selection although small was varied enough to suit the group I was with. The wine list was also decent. The restaurant felt a little cold, temperature wise but the layout and space was comfortable and welcoming. I'd go back again.

Very disappointed. Room ill equipped for 2 people twin share. No one (staff or manager) could inform me of local TV station selection on remote. Two coarse meal took 3hrs to serve, no BRANDY or DRY GINGER to be found on premises. And only day 1, got 4 more to go, can't get any worse I hope.

This is an old hotel, and does hold some charm. The carpets are hard and must be due to be replaced. The twin room is large and comfortable. Food is very good. Breakfast buffet has some choice.

Well situated and easily accessible. Shopping, bars and restaurants in the vicinity. There is a bar and a restaurant in the hotel as well as a florist. The food is good and well served. The staff is professional and helpful. Room is spacious and both the room and bathroom are well taken care of. Bed is comfortable. Carpet flooring is a bit outdated. The bar is welcoming and has a pool table. There is a gym with and a swimming pool. Different fitness machines and weights available, enough to keep you in shape. I think the accomodation and services provided as well as the location make it a good place to stay a few days in Canberra.

From the time of booking the accommodation thru to check out we utterly enjoyed our experience.

The staff were all attentive and helpful. The rooms were exceptionally clean. The food was perfect, fresh and good portion sizes.
Buffet breakfast ticks all the box's. Lovely and warm inside.

A big thank you to Sonja who took our booking and ensured the entire process was faultless. Sonja showed a high level of customer service and is a asset to the Ridges team.

Thanks to all the staff that made our stay so relaxing.

Great room, very spacious and comfortable. Television and air conditioning is a bit old and unresponsive. Wish there were more variety to the breakfast menu. Overall I enjoyed my stay here

My wife and I recently stayed at the Rydges Capital Hill as part of a Treasures of Versailles package. We were very pleased with the value of the package and enjoyed our stay. It was a particularly pleasant surprise to see the size of the room provided as part of the package. Usually with these types of packages you get the basic room so we were really happy with the size of the room provided including the raised bed area and spa bathroom which was ideal for a couples getaway.
If we had to be picky I really don't know why the special French inspired meal couldn't have included all three courses rather than a selection of two out of three. This seemed to be a petty when you consider the overall experience.
The only other point which was a little annoying was the position of the TV in the room. It was neither directly in front of the lounge nor visible from the bed which made it a little bit awkward to view from either area.
These two matters are only minor in the context of the overall stay but they did strike us as being a little odd.
Staff were friendly and helpful in all areas and our stay was very enjoyable.

Room was comfortable but a bit dated. The cabinets could use updating. Breakfast was ok. Bar was never open. Staff was friendly.

We were upgraded to honeymoon suite which sounded OK until we realised that the room adjacent to t he bed was open to the daylight and not able to be screened/curtained. So in the morning, quite early, the bedroom was light and therefore difficult to sleep.

Also the dining area and most of the reception area was very cool, about 18 Degree C. The dining room was in a draught from the open area and it was not very comfortable for a 4 star hotel. The air conditioning should have been on in this area.

The room was clean and the reception staff very good

Had a quick meal and drink at the bar. Food was great, staff were friendly. Highly recommended!
