Rydges Wellington is walking distance from the train station, Bee Hive Capital, the waterfront and many restaurants and shopping outlets. The room was very clean and their bar and restaurant excellent. We will stay here again.

Friendly and professional staff, overall clean facilities and great location. The fitness facilities are very limited and there was a power outage at the time that further limited functionality.
