Rydges World Square

Rydges World Square

8/10 Good
"The room I had was very clean, however a little dated. Especially the bathroom. There was a guest causing commotion a few doors down that the police had to attend and while no fault of the hotel. I could hear it clearly in my room. The staff were very friendly though and there is heaps of parking under world square and it's close to both the tram and the metro."
