I stayed at the Rydges Lakeside for two nights at the end of March (early Autumn) and got what I had expected. It's neither fancy nor worthwhile. There was nothing particularly awful about this hotel - except for its blandness and out-of-dateness.

If you're not looking to stay in a hostel & want affordable accommodation in a good location, then by all means this is OK.

Before booking though, take a look at the Diamant hotel. It's situated next door to the Rydges, looks like a palace in comparison and is priced only slightly higher.

The best thing about where I stayed was a) the ridiculously comfy bed and b) the view I got from the tenth floor. I would have forgone both had there been a standard room available to me at the Diamant. Basically what I'm saying here is STAY AT THE DIAMANT!

With the weight of what I was carrying added to the fact I'd forgotten which way I'd come and what the name of my hotel was, it took a lot longer than it probably should have. I passed that damned pretty horse carousel about five times. Note: Canberra shouldn't be that hard to navigate for your average bear but I have a way with complicating things. I eventually found my way back to the Rydges Lakeside… Canberra: Day One
