Good location for solo business traveller ”

good clean hotel. perfect for business traveller staying in port macquarie. close to restaurants and pubs. rooms are large with comfy beds. breakfast buffet downstairs is excellent

Magic beds”

We always stay here at Rydges because of the beds. We have purchased 2 king sized Rydges beds - they are wonderful! To enjoy the same quality sleep in a hotel as you can have every night at home is wonderful.

2 visit to hotel ”

2 time i have stayed at the hotel while away for work. Alway clean and friendly staff. Restaurants down stairs are good for dinner and breakfast buffet is good, or plenty of close by pubs etc. Room is clean, little small but pretty standard size for a rydges.

Exceptional”

Had a wonderful overnight stay, friendly staff, couldn't be more helpful, nice food in the restaurant, lovely room, comfy bed, great renovations, joined Rydges Rewards Program, will definitely return.

One night stay”

Rydges was in a beautiful location and easy to find. The room was clean and spacious. Breakfast buffet was small and sad looking so we chose to buy an "a la carte" breakfast which was very nice and, with coffee, about the same cost as the buffet. The most surprising thing I found for this 4 star hotel in a popular and beautiful location was the coldness of the staff. When we arrived the woman was very civil but by no means welcoming or offering any extra help. It was the same checking out the next morning. Compared to the lovely smiles, welcome and advice on what to see that we received in Sydney, it was a bit disconcerting. The restaurant was very expensive so we walked down town and chose one of the many little restaurants at random. Would I stay there again? Maybe, nothing wrong with it. I think I would try one of the other major hotels in the area. Smile and a welcome is the advice I give the management.

Great spot, lovely outlook...”

Have been here a few times when passing through Port and love the location plus the funky cafe downstairs overlooking the river is a great place for a drink after a long day driving. Highly recommend as the staff have always been helpful when I've stayed.

GREAT CHOICE!”

EASY TO FIND, GOOD PARKING PLACE (EVEN IF GARAGE IS FULL), NICE BALCONY TO THE BAY OR PORT, NICE WALK TO THE PIER (RELAXING WALK EITHER AT DUSK OR DAWN), RESTAURANTS AND BARS WALKING DISTANCE (FOR DINNER OR BREAKFAST... IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO EAT IN THE HOTEL), QUIET AT NIGHT AND AMAZING VIEWS!

Great Location”

The Hotel was centrally located with a nice stroll along the river to the ocean. The room was clean and large with a comfortable king size bed for two. When booking make sure that you request a room fronting the river with a balcony, we did'nt and had a room fronting the rear of shops and no balcony, no great concern as it was for only one night to break the car trip to Sydney.

Nice location and view”

The hotel and apartments are really top notch and the restaurant is great. Centrally located

Great location, nice room, could not fault.”

This is a very nice hotel. Room was a nice size, however our room looked over the town and a room looking over the estuary would be better. Restuarant breakfast was good and the bar was lively at night with live music. Highly recomend this hotel.

rydges port macquarie nsw australia”

room great disappointment. needs total refurbish. furniture totally dated and the fridge in our room needs replacing it rattled and vibrated all night. when i complained the next morning the female on the front desk just shrugged her shoulders. we ate in the restaurant the night before it was very mediocre and very overpriced. we have family living in port macquarie but we wont be staying at rydges again.

the best location in town”

This was the best hotel in port macquire, very nice staff, amazing veiw, i will be back here,

Great winter break”

Fantastic stay but as mentioned issues with the wifi. Food was excellent and the parking was reasonably priced. Room overlooking the river was a good choice and worth the few dollars more.

Decent hotel, no wifi”

This hotel was relatively nice, but we were simply shocked that a hotel this size and price did not offer wifi in the rooms. Even in the lobby, we had to stand near the bar entrance (where the wifi access actually is) to get the signal. We were unfortunate to get one of the few rooms on the floor without a balcony. So once the kids went to bed, we were stuck in the dark, quiet looking out the window. The room however was large with comfortable beds and clean.

Great location rooms are a good size”

great location. close to beach, and cbd. room was a good size. would sugget asking for a room with a view. we didn't and looked out onto a back laneway, not pretty. hotel is starting to look a little dated. could do with a revamp of carpet and painting etc...

Relaxing and very enjoyable”

Generally it was a pleasant experience. Hotel facilities were quite good. However spare blankets were not provided only pillows were but they were promptly made avialble when requested. Tea/coffee/milk/sugar were in short supply too. We enjoyed our stay at the hotel and have no hesitation in recommending it to family and friends and would also love to be back.

Christmas Vacation”

A one night stay after celebrating Christmas with the family. Hotel is lovely but the room was very expensive, room service wasn't great and the lock broke requiring the maintenance guy to be in our room for about an hour.

Nice water view & peaceful surroundings”

We have 2 adults, 2 seniors & 1 2 year toddler staying in the 2 bedrooms apartment. The rooms are spacious and the apartment is very clean. It is only 5 minutes walk to the main shopping centre but it closes early. We stayed for a night as we travelled from Sydney to Gold Coast. They have a nice fish & chips cafe beside the hotel. We have a great water view and we enjoy the breeze in our balcony.

comfortable and relaxing ”

fantastic except for one disappointment , hotel parking garage broke-down and we could get out to go sight seeing so we lost half a day from our tightly packed things to do. Hotel staff said they will reduce 10% from the room price. but i don't believe they did.

great location and a nice view, great for joggers”

Perfect. Great service. Friendly staff. We enjoyed the view and all the facilities in the hotel. The open air hot spa on the second floor was very relaxing.
