Tried to charge for breakfast I didn’t have

This hotel has gone downhill since my last stay. Upon checkout they tried to charge me for breakfast that I didn’t have. How can someone charge something to someone else’s room?? Ask for the name of the person staying in that room when taking a room number in the restaurant. That’s just basic common sense

Ok stay

Reception was great although did not mention the odd amount that was going to be deducted from my card for incidentals. The beds could use stoppers or something similar to stop beds from moving away from the wall which leads to pillows falling. Other than that, lovely hotel.

Rydges was close to the RBWH hospital where I had an appointment which I could walk to within 10 minutes. Restaurants were also close by and access to Roma Street station was just a 10 minute taxi ride. The staff were very helpful. Overall a good experience.

Comfortable, clean, good breakfast and handy

Nice hotel and great for a family vacay with the ability to have 3 beds in a room for adults and 2 kids. Location has plenty of good restaurants around and not a far walk into the main part of fortitude valley. Breakfasts were very good with plenty of options.
