We had a wonderful stay at the Holiday Inn Express Geelong. The room was super new, spotlessly clean, and very comfortable — we had a great night’s rest. The reception staff were friendly and welcoming, making the check-in process smooth and pleasant. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and we’d definitely love to come back next time we’re in Geelong!

I had a great stay at the Holiday Inn Geelong. The room was spacious with a cute, modern design that made it feel really comfortable and inviting. The hotel is in a fantastic location—just a short walk to plenty of restaurants, which made dining out super convenient. One thing to note: parking is available on-site, but there is an additional cost, so keep that in mind when planning your visit. Overall, a very enjoyable experience!

New hotel in city centre, with eateries about 500m away. Hotel provides garage parking that comes with a fee, but you can park on nearby streets for free after 5:30pm. TV is internet ready but need special device to access Google Chromecast to enjoy Netflix, YouTube, etc. So ended up watching terrestrial tv programmes. Breakfast spread is good and recommended
Response from Property: Thank you for sharing your experience! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed our convenient city-centre location and the nearby dining options. We appreciate your feedback about the parking and the TV setup. We'll consider ways to make streaming services more accessible for our guests in the future. It's wonderful to know you found our breakfast spread enjoyable, and we hope to welcome you back soon for an even better stay!Michael HuangDirector of Sales & Marketing

No water in the night and no compensation.
Response from Property: Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the water disruption during your stay. Unfortunately, this was due to severe weather conditions beyond our control. We understand how frustrating this must have been and truly appreciate your understanding. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a more seamless experience in the future.
