Hotels in Geelong

What a great destination! The building is getting a little dated but the rooms are very comfortable. The beds are perfect. Rates and food and drink was as expected and a fair price. We will return

I had such a great experience at the Rydges Geelong Hotel. The staff are super friendly and the beds are very comfortable. I like the initiative where if you choose not to have your room attended for that day you get a $10 food and beverage voucher in exchange. I felt really cared for during my stay - I would highly recommend this hotel.

This is my third stay at Rydges Geelong for the Avatar course. It has always been smooth and pleasant arrival and departure. The staff are welcoming and accommodating. Good coffee available from the restaurant. The rooms are in great condition and the beds are the BEST! Seriously, every element of the bed is so comfortable; mattress, pillows, sheets, doona... The whole package! I sleep wonderfully...

We stayed one night for a rowing regatta and found the location to be perfect. Staff were friendly, helpful and attentive. The hotel was close to restaurants, shops and the river. The rooms were spacious and clean and the bed was incredibly comfortable. We slept incredibly well. The hotel is quiet with no traffic or street noise and we managed to get a lovely ocean view. I think we have found...

Great place to stay in Geelong location was excellent the room spacious and clean and the staff at reception and room maintenance welcoming and friendly. Looking forward to a longer stay next time

Great location on the main *****. Good shops around. Swimming pool could be warmer considered it’s a heated pool. And family room could have more toys for kids and the projector didn’t work. But the staff were nice and the restaurant was lovely.

We had a lovely stay at Geelong Novotel but unfortunately the air conditioning had broken down. We were given a fan which helped, but it was a struggle to remain comfortable when the temperature was close to 30o outside.

Novotel was a perfect location, rating it as 10 stars if I could. The only thing, I booked for 2 rooms at Trip.com but got only one room when we actually went to Novotel so I need to book again for another room .The reception said I was overpriced from trip.com paying for 2 rooms when it's actually only one ☹️☹️☹️

Everything was good  But when I asked for coffee in the buffet breakfast  They say it’s chargeable. As per my booking it clearly says toothpaste toothbrush is included. But they were not in the washroom. I didn’t bring as I thought as it’s a 4 star hotel it’s all included.

Very nice hotel. Excellent location on the waterfront close to the waterfront activities. We had a balcony which gave a view of the sea. Room was comfortable and clean. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Big shopping centre close by. On site Tempo restaurant was very nice - great atmosphere and good food. Just beware of the portion sizes - really big!

Perfect location along the boardwalk. Close to shops and cafes Very good menu, lovely staff Bed was very comfortable, we’ve actually ordered pillows . The whole Room was clean & bathroom was spacious Room was excellent Staff were very helpful, price was steep for valet parking

Very well kept park. Friendly staff clean amenities. So close to Shops 20mins to Beach. Indoor swimming pool. Would recommend this park 100per cent.

Absolutely fantastic. Really clean amenities and alot of space. I would recommend this park to anyone staying in Geelong for a weekend or longer

Rooms - Cabin was clean and spacious with own kitchenette. No heater in room but there is a heater in the lounge area. Service - There is no reception after hours but checking in was no fuss. I checked in afterhours and had to call sfaff to give a a code to access my cabin key. Location - short drive to CBD and other amenities.

Will absolutely be staying here again. My kids LOVED the spa bath and the quality and cleanliness of the rooms was beautiful. The woman at reception was lovely. 10/10 will be back!!!

We recently stayed in the park on an ensuite site. Heaps of room on the site and having the ensuite was great. Park is in a great location for accessing all areas of Geelong the region. Directly opposite the Barwon River for walking and bike riding. Park facilities were good and very tidy, the ensuite needed a bit of tidy up to clean up the mould around the shower base and loose vanity doors, bit all...

it was clean everywhere and well appointed. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The signage and map very clear. The place is obviously being managed very well. They were running special activities for school holidays (face painting and balloon artists, pancake machine). Our kids loved this place. Despite the bad weather preventing us from going out, they were kept entertained in this park. The...

ease of parking . size of rooms.I was given a suite with new facilities.including a heated bidet —a first in my travels!Manager’s ready response to any needs- large umbrella lent for extent of rainy stay. rooms very quiet and soundproofed ( no noise from adjoining rooms). Great motel and good rates!

Convenient area. Good value for money. However beware that reception may close earlier than stated. Was there at 6.30pm and there was a “out for 30mins sign” put out. Came back at 7.30pm after getting dinner and the reception was closed already (weekday official closing timing should be 8pm). Had to call (thankfully I got a travel SIM card that can call AUS numbers) the number on the reception room...

It was a last minute decision to go to Geelong. And I tell you we were not disappointed at all. What a lovely place to visit but the accommodation made all the more better to stay. We stayed for two nights in a lovely room. The service was excellent and you also get the luxury of a restaurant on the premises and room service if you so desire. I highly recommend staying here if you want a simple place...

Perfect for our overnight stay. Clean and tidy. Car parks are a bit on the small side but I found that issue all over Geelong. Reception were lovely, friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay again.

We had a recent 3 night stay and everything was spick and span. The superior queen room was very spacious. There is a little traffic noise evident in front rooms as the motel is on McKillop St. Prices were very affordable.

My wife and I both loved the stay the staff and owners were very helpful and friendly. Close to everything and breakfast, dinner restaurant's were a dozen steps from our room door

Good size cabin for our group of 8. Comfortable and well set out.

We were warmly greeted by reception staff and given clear and concise instructions and a map of how to locate our cabin. The cabin was a good size for the two of us, all we could need for a nights stay. It was a little dated and the bathroom has the definite smell of mould however we noted from the information given that substantial renovations/updates of the cabins are underway therefore hopefully...

Great location. Did get a delayed check-in by 2 hrs but thankfully were offered a late check-out. Jumping pillow was a hit for our little fella. Good value for what we paid.

Great location and facilities. We have stayed in a few cabins in parks and we found this place very clean compared to most. The pool and playground were also very good

I don't get the bad reviews. Nice park with new amenities, our site had no power but we got moved to another, kids play area is good. Sure the park needs some updates but you get a detailed pamphlet detailing all the work they are doing. Sounds like the new owners are trying to update and clean up the old park they purchased. Will be great to visit again in the future once the updates are completed...

Room was clean and modern, had everything that you needed. Included breakfast was fantastic with such a large selection.

A little known secret of Geelong

A truly beautiful place to stay in Geelong with a tranquil outlook and beauty surrounding. The accessible room was great, with modern bathroom and access. Loved the complimentary snacks, drinks and continental breakfast. Definitely on our list to visit again!!

Me and my boyfriend stayed here for 3 nights. We'd never stay anywhere else in Geelong now! There's so much to do inside the hotel (swimming pool/ snooker tables/ ping pong/ bar) we found it difficult leaving. The breakfast was yummy and the coffee really good for machine coffee. The whole place has just been renovated and the rooms are super chic, my boyfriend and I had the best time ;)

Very comfortable rooms. Exceptionally clean. Very friendly staff ; great Continental. breakfast; complimentary snacks in the mini fridge; excellent location in the middle of the Botanical gardens . This place has a very relaxed feel to it. Great Oasis within walking distance to the beach ⛱️ restaurants and Bars a

After 40 years in Geelong, i took my first visit to this property. Saw a write up when it was renovated a year or so ago and I was impressed. Fantastic use of different spaces to create different moments in the dining areas. Conference facilities look more than sufficient overlooking well designed landscapes. Look forward to visiting again and arranging a weekend away.

We found this accommodation to be excellent. Everything was lovely and very well equipped and very clean. The hens out the back were cute and Linda gave us some of their delicious eggs. The location was good for our needs and for the Bellarine Peninsula and also Geelong. Highly recommended.

Everything we needed, 3 guys in the area to play veterans cricket, so much better than a hotel and between us cheaper too. Totally recommend.

Good location to go around Geelong. The place was clean and well kept. Linda was extremely helpful in the week's leading up to the stay and during.

Amazing host, nice clean home and had everything we needed. Highly recommended staying if you have children. My girls loved the chickens

This is our 4th stay at Coppards Rest. Rest being the key word. It’s close enough to everything to be within a short drive but also nestled away from any tourist hot spots that might cause crowds. The house is brilliantly stocked with everything you could need and if it isn’t there, just ask Linda she will probably loan you something from the main house. Exceptionally clean and tidy, beautifully...

Travelled from Qld to Geelong for a family wedding and have just completed a 4 day stay at fabulous Coppards Rest! Linda the owner greeted us with a plate full of home baked Anzac biscuits and a friendly smile. The house was spotlessly clean and very thoroughly equipped, definitely a home away from home. Tea, Coffee, Coffee pods, sugar and milk provided plus a bottle of non Alcoholic wine was an...

It was new and spacious for a family of 4, we were given two rooms and 4 beds with a very reasonable price. And Wi-fi speed is fast and the room looked new ( we were told the hotel was just renovated during Covid). And we had a la carte dinner there and the food is good and in big portion. And a very nice feature is that they provide barcode for us to order food from our room.

Fantastic staff in the Gaming room. Makes it a pleasure to come here. ??

Can't say it's cheap but for an all you can eat place the food is good.

We always enjoy our meal and the gaming room. When my husband was still with us we enjoyed staying in the motel. Thank you for your hospitality. ?

Not bad for the price but it's hit and miss. If they have a lot of bookings the food will be superior than if they're quiet. Also $100 for a family of four is pushing the envelope.

Fantastic place. Will be back again.

Our family used 2 cabins & a pwrd site. Amenities for pwrd sites have been upgraded and are lovely. Cabins were spotless and compact but enough room to move, very well laid out. Children’s play areas have also been upgraded, and a pool has been installed. Quite a bit of $$ has been spent on this park. In my opinion it’s the only one worth staying at. Very accommodating hosts who can’t do enough to...

My family and I stayed for 2 nights (Friday and Saturday) in a cabin. Check in was after hours and was an easy process with keys in a locked box and instructions via text. The cabin itself was dated but in fair condition. The bed was not comfortable and only had 1 small pillow each (not spares in cupboards even) and curtains all had bits out of them resulting in light coming in. There was also only...

Decent enough room just had bad reception in that part of the park

Was ok for my needs but no internet and the tv kept blanking.

We pre booked which was quick and easy have done this few times ladies at reception was friendly and welcoming found our little piece of paradise for the night the cabin was pretty clean

The sea is just across the road. Every morning you can have your breakfast and at the same time watch the sunrise. The Black Salt Restaurant has glass panels all round and you can easily watch the sunrise and also all the hustling as the cars passes by. Rooms were spacious. However, the cost of the items is quite high, even the mineral water is not free. It is better to stock up your minbar with...

We had a really great time at Quality Hotel Bayside Geelong! They even think of the smallest things that help to make your stay so much more easier and pleasant. They had the TV Gudie from the Sunday Herald Sun for us, and they also had printed out a full colour Gudie to Foxtel for the week as well. I've never come across this kind of service before. The Black Salt Restaurant for breakfast can...

Avalon Airport was not as close as i thought it would be, everything decent to eat closes at 21 and it is 21:00.00 nothing later, the hotel has a restaurant but you need to reserve 🤔 It bit of a weird place to be honest, anyway rooms were big, small bathroom. Breakfast was ok just a loud radio with typical Australian chat or news, a bit disturbing to my taste.

I stayed here for 2 nights while working in Geelong for business, the room itself was extremely spacious and had everything you would need for your 'home away from home' The bathroom was amazing, shower was great! Nice and hot and great pressure. Internet was fast and easy to access using the password they supplied me with. I didn't use the restaurant, I did take advantage of the room service on the...

I treated myself to 1 night in a bayview room and was not disappointed. The modern room was light, airy, clean and comfortable. I had no issues and if I visit Geelong again there is only 1 place that I'd stay.

Stayed here for a short break. Very comfortable room with great views over Corio Bay and a reasonable walk to the city centre. Enjoyed walking along The Esplanade each morning to soak in the sights and enjoy the variety of cafes and restaurants this great city has to offer. Enjoyed one evening meal in my room which was very nice and also dined at the Black Salt Restaurant downstairs for special lunch...

Geelong is a must-visit town on the Great Ocean Road and the starting point for boat trips to Tasmania. The Best Western brand is similar to Atour in China, with above-average service and facilities. Parking is free and ample, the hotel is in a good location, and the rooms are much larger than expected, with balconies.

The room is clean and tidy, and booking is convenient

The room facilities are too old. There is a smell of old furniture in the room. The hygiene is OK, but the hotel is too old.

The room is not as good as Home Inn, the location is OK. The hotel facilities are too simple. There is no small supermarket around. The door was opened by the waiter in the morning when the child was still sleeping. I said sorry and went out again. I guess most guests don't sleep until 11 o'clock. I will not stay here again. The hot water in the bathroom is very good, compared with most hotels, it...

Booked it seven years ago and felt good then. This time I changed the room and the experience was average. It was Australia Day and there was a party next door until 2am. It was very close to the railway and driveway and there was a building that was very noisy. The advantage is that it is close to the beach, the room is large, standard motel mode, and the price/performance ratio is good.

The room is spacious, clean, complete with microwave and iron. Friendly staff

Second time I've stayed here. Wanted to have a spa room that wasn't a long way from the CBD of Geelong. It has a balcony from which to enjoy the view of the bay. They don't have a restaurant so brekky has to be bought elsewhere but there is a great eatery just a few steps away which does all meals.

After a day of disasters, the lady at the Belmercer went above and beyond to help me for which I am very grateful. My room was spotless, other facilities were really good and the bed was as comfortable as my own.

The room and bathroom was clean. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful. We stayed for 2 nights, the room was serviced each day with clean towels. Would definitely stay again.

Nice clean room...huge bathroom.... could make better use of the space. Sofa in the room was very uncomfortable. Good location close to Uni and waterfront. Reasonably priced if u search different websites....$100 difference pn on some. Friendly staff. Weird muffled thumping noise thru the night? Stayed at front of building n road noise wasn't an issue but the 5.15 train woke me n that was my sleeping...

Had a clean and fairly new room. I felt like the price was in line with what I got.

Clean room, great bath - had everything we needed for a quick overnight stay

The room was very clean on arrival and the service on day 2 was excellent and somewhat unexpected, being a public holiday so we hadn't made any effort to tidy the room of our personal belongings. It is an easy walk to the Westfield shopping centre on Malop street and even closer to the Sir Charles Darling Hotel which serves a very good meal in the bistro. The mattress was extremely firm, if you have...

Large clean room in a very convenient location

Position, convenience, affordable. We chose Bay City for its convenience, it's off main road position - which made it quiet, and its price. All of those things were there. The unit was clean and comfortable. My only criticism would be how hard the bed is, made more so by the electric blanket which we never use anyway. I know you can't please everyone all the time.

Outside surrounds were rather unkempt Potted plants had seen better days and looked half dead. First impressions. Otherwise all good!! Clean quiet well appointed .

Neat and tidy, clean rooms, easy walk to shopping center and foreshore.

Good location. Close to shops and waterfront. The grounds of the motel very unkempt.

Joan was lovely, she waited up for our unfortunate late arrival. Our breakfast the following morning was amazing, definitely welcome start to the day.

A lovely and clean place that provides ultra comfort. Joan was a very kind and accommodating and ensured we had all that we required. Thank you Joan, Trevor and Tom. Maria and John.

A spacious, clean and comfortable place provided a very happy stay. Joan, the host was very friendly and accommodating ensuring all our needs were met. Trevor cooked us a delicious, hearty breakfast making us feel at home. Roy & Teresa

A lovely, clean, large room set in large gardens close to Geelong. Joan and Trevor were fantastic, friendly hosts. The cooked breakfast in the morning made with eggs laid by their chooks was hearty and delicious.

This place was so lovely. A beautiful property and lovely owners. Joan really looked after us and made sure we had what we needed. The studio where we stayed was a great space. It was large, clean and felt really homely. Again it had everything we needed. Will definitely stay again when we are back in the area. Thank you Joan

Pros- Overall the property is divine Facilities clean, lovely styling and well kept The food component was handy and produce was fresh and yummy Cons- Unfortunately as part of a group staying recently, the general feeling was that the owners did come into the lounge and kitchen space rather a lot.. and this was not always comfortable It may be beneficial in future to check whether guests are comfortable...

Great value. Basic but good. Quiet on a Tuesday night. Free off street parking a bonus. Close to good pub and restaurants.

clean for a motel, good location. The motel is not near the nice sandstone photos however

It was amazing . Was very satisfied with service & staff. Great hotel.

First time in Geelong. A very good place. The hotel is in a good location and affordable. Lovely staff. Walking distance to the beautiful beach side and restaurants. Our room is pleasant we slept very well. I really liked the bathroom very clean.

Booked it on the same day, because other places were full on weekends, so this is the only one available! The location is good, the facilities are a bit old!

Where to stay in Geelong The location is OK Parking spaces are available at the hotel Take a break after visiting the Great Ocean Road The room is clean, basically no big problems Well enough

Everything were great and excellent except it is time to change the kettle

The Parkside Motel location is quite good. Opposite there is a local mall. Walking distance to Macdonald. Drive not far to Geelong CBD. Their rooms are clean. The motel itself is simple with free parking.

The room is very good and the location is good. COLES is just across the road.

Not bad, it’s good to have this level in Geelong.

Everything is great, the staff is very friendly.

The location is opposite Kmart, and it is also close to the Ferris wheel. The hotel is run by two parents-in-law. It is an ordinary hotel, clean and comfortable, and suitable for a one-night stay.

Close to Port, woollies and restaurants. clean and comfortable. Would stay here again if catching ship to Tasmania.

Perfect for an overnighter while out during the day's. Very reasonable pricing and extremely clean and well presented rooms. Located on a main road but the traffic dies down nicely at night. BYO cutlery 😉 Overall our three night stay was very satisfactory. Very close to Bottle shop, Take away's Pubs, supermarket and chemist etc right across the road. Very convenient. Friendly staff, rooms serviced...

I stay last night a person sit behind reception desk is very polite and so helpfull .he wait for us nearly a hour after checkin he still heping to our three vehicles park in safe zone in night time and this habit of the person make more respect for him he was so honest to play his role for his guests .rooms are very clean and fresh bathroom is very fresh and spotless so much complementary services...

Ticked all the boxes for our overnight stay. The rooms were good & clean.

What a great hidden gem! The room was spacious, the bed was super comfortable and the location for restaurants was impressive. Highly recommend Shannon Motor Inn

Extremely dated decor. No toilet paper instead they give you the paper that comes out of box in squares. Not worth $190 a night. Most I would pay I this place would be $90. Avoid until they spend some money on that place if you can.

The room is clean and quiet, suitable for family living, but the facilities are very old. There is no small box of milk for coffee.

We were a family that stayed 1 night and needed a place without frills. The room was clean and the staff were lovely.

You get what you pay for. The place is old but... It is clean, the bed is comfortable, the air con effocnet and quiet and did I mention it was clean? Bill was an excellent t mmhost when the Ferry was three hours late. Nothing seemed a bother so excellent customer service as well. As an over nighter you can't fault the place for value for money.

The owner is friendly and enthusiastic. He is a Chinese. For travelers who are not good at English, this hotel should be the first choice. The location of the hotel is very good, next to the church in Figure 1, to the train station; the central area and the art gallery can be reached in 10-20 minutes on foot, and it is very close to the waterfront and the eastern beach. There is a 22/25 bus stop at...

After reading all the 1 star reviews...I was on my best behaviour when talking to Lii the Asian Owner...and she was friendly back...room 22 did have flaking paint in the bathroom because the exhaust fan wasn't working, yes bed is too firm... tiles from the 60s, probably had carpet changed in the 80s, yes the fridge had rust on the door seal...but was cold, new TV....good Fujitsu air-conditioner split...

Comfortable, good parking. Ensuite double room, very nice! :-) :-)

Good value, frienly staff, clean large ensuite, large room with sitting area & lots of bench space, comfortable beds & pillows, great parking. Conveniently located to eating venues, short drive to shopping centre. Easy walk to rail station & rail trail walk. Much better than most 3 star motels I stay at. Even though on major road quiet at night. 100% recommend

I made an incorrect booking. Staff were very happy to change for me. Also proactive in communicating prior to my stay

I stay there as it’s very convenient for me when visiting friends

Great, easy place to stay. Accommodation was very clean and warm. (Stayed in June) The manager was very accommodating as we had to extend our stay. Great food van at the entrance of the motel with egg and bacon rolls and coffee, pub next door for dinner

Clean and close to everything. Staff very helpful

Clean, well appointed rooms. Parking outside your door. All amenities considered and provided. Great location.

the house was just beautiful, food was good, facilities were fantastic, in a nice quiet location, heater was awesome.

Second time staying here. Perfect spot and set up. All you need. Added bonus it’s pet friendly.

Stayed here with my 2 dogs, we had a great time! A beautiful house, lots of rooms, a cozy lounge with a gas fire, a back yard big enough for the dogs and the house is right in the centre of Geelong!

A wonderful place to stay. Very clean. Light breakfast supplied. Able to take our little dog with us. Very central. Worked well for 2 families.

Stayed here last November, such a beautiful and adaptable house in a good location. Nice quiet street with enclosed and quite long backyard (with a few parking spots). Our bed was deliciously comfy, kitchen was well appointed and the spa bath was gorgeous. A lovely bonus were the dressing gowns and slippers, heaven!!

With thanks to Helen and her team, my husband and I, together with our Seeing Eye Dog puppy in development Summer, settled very comfortably into the lovely Sabina. With outstanding features and inclusions like a fully stocked kitchen with breakfast provisions, beautiful high ceiling and ornate finishes, as well as a beautiful open gas fireplace in the lounge, we could not have asked for more. Our...
