My stay at Rydges Wellington had its ups and downs. The location was perfect for exploring the city and the view from my room was lovely.

I had a lovely stay at Rydges Wellington, enjoying the gorgeous harbour view and the clean, modern decor of my room. However, I found the gym a bit minimal, and there were some issues with the breakfast service during busy times. Overall, it was a good experience, but there were a few hiccups that could use improvement.

I had mixed feelings about my stay. The harbor view from my room was stunning, but a few annoying issues really took away from the experience. The communication about parking was misleading, and our room felt cramped without adequate storage or seating options. Overall, there were some good points but several improvements needed.
