The location was excellent for our visit to the Princess Theatre. The room was very clean and fixtures/fittings were in new condition. We booked a Deluxe Room with King Bed and were happy with it for our 1 night stay, although it was on the small side, especially the bathroom. We would use the hotel again for a 1-2 night stay and the location is great for the theatre district.

Great location, walkable to trams and lots of nearby dining options. Rooms are clean and spacious, we were impressed with the additional space in the living room and bedroom can be closed off to provide extra privacy. Staff are all courteous and very helpful. One of the best Rydges we have stayed at so far.
