Top Kensington Hotel Reviews

Rydges Melbourne

8/10 Good

"Good convenient location, rooms were good and clean. The bathroom entrance has a little slope, can be a slip hazard. Staff were good, and room service is decent. The amenities can be better with providing the essential toiletries and restock teas/coffee."
