We recently stayed at Rydges South Bank and couldn’t be more impressed. From the moment we arrived, the staff were warm, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. The room was spotless, modern, and extremely comfortable, with beautiful views. The location is unbeatable, right in the heart of South Bank with easy access to restaurants, the river, and everything Brisbane has to offer. Every part of the experience was seamless and enjoyable. We will definitely be returning and highly recommend Rydges South Bank to anyone looking for a high-quality, stress-free stay.

Wverythung was great, room, check in, check out. However the parking was a bit rediculous at $59 a night. Also when you put the card out for the room not to be cleaned they cleaned it anyway.
Pool.area was very clean.  Small pool as far as most pools go but was fun for the kids
Partial City view room 124.
