Comments from past clients:

"Just to let you know my stay at Rydges, London was a good one.  I was there in November 2011 and all went well.  Room was nicely appointed and, as you know, the location is great.  When I filled in the evaluation form, I commented on the service that was very good - arranging transportation from the airport.  Thanks again for the recommendation."

"The family room at the Rydges Kensington was perfect for us, and the location right by the tube was great."

"Rydges was wonderful and just blocks from the Tube making traveling and sightseeing a breeze!"
