Best Geelong Hotels

"I've stayed at the Admiralty Inn a number of times in the past and usually the stay has been good. On a previous stay earlier in the year, and as I was packing to leave, there was a knock on the door saying 'Housekeeping'. The time was 9.40am (checkout is at 10am) and I just felt I was being pushed to leave. I let it slide at the time as i wasn't far off packed and ready to leave anyhow. However, on my most recent stay in May it was taken to a whole new level. Having in mind my previous experience, I decided to place the 'Do not disturb' sign on the door. My thinking being that this should mean that I wouldn't be disturbed until the 10am checkout. At 8.09am, yes I checked the time, the door to my room opened, no knock no warning, and the housekeeper is poking their head in the door. Whilst I was awake I was still in bed though, but what if I had just jumped out of the shower and no clothes on? The housekeeper did make a hasty retreat saying sorry but I just feel that's not good enough, especially as I had the 'Do not disturb' sign on the door and almost two hours prior to checkout. It makes me wonder if any one else has had a similar experience. When you book a motel room you do expect a reasonable level of privacy but I am now very hesitant to stay at the Admiralty Inn again as I feel I cannot be guaranteed any privacy at all. In saying all this, I was tempted to leave a poor or bad review, but I settled on average as the room itself was adequate for the price. All things considered I think my rating of average is more than fair."

"Exceeded my expectations! Although the location isn't the most convenient and it's a bit far from the city, the environment is absolutely wonderful, and I really loved the room. Breakfast was also quite good. All in all, this place is truly excellent."

"The hotel was really well located on the sea front and a short walk to the pier and promenade. The room was a good size with a small balcony that was great to sit out on and look at the sea. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would recommend this hotel for a stay."

"This Holiday Inn was a last-minute booking when I arrived in Australia, and surprisingly, it turned out to be the best and most affordable. The room was spacious, the facilities were new, and its downtown location made everything convenient. It was great for walking to the beach and exploring nearby attractions. Perhaps it's because it's not a huge city, but Geelong is truly a delightful place. It's a tourist-friendly city with plenty of lively energy yet still incredibly relaxed. The urban feel and rural charm blend perfectly, making it a very livable place."

"This motel was good value for money. It has been nicely renovated and was very comfortable. The position was close enough for us to walk to the shops and there were plenty of eateries in walking distance. There was a microwave and a new fridge. Highly recommend staying here."

"I had a particularly satisfying stay this time. The hotel's location is excellent, making it very convenient for getting around and shopping, with plenty of dining options nearby. The front desk staff were warm and thoughtful, handling check-in and check-out efficiently with a gentle and polite attitude. The room was clean and tidy, with a logical layout, soft and comfortable bedding, and great sound insulation, ensuring a very quiet night's rest. The bathroom had a wet/dry separation, all toiletries were complete and clean, and there was ample hot water supply. The overall environment and hygiene were well-maintained; there were no unpleasant odors in the hallways or public areas. The breakfast offered a rich variety, including meat, vegetables, desserts, and drinks, all tasting homely and offering good value. The hotel provides great value for money, with comprehensive facilities and attentive service, leading to a wonderful living experience. I will definitely choose this place again on my next visit and highly recommend it to everyone."

"Geelong is a must-go town on the Ocean Road, and it is also the departure point for taking a boat to Tasmania Island. The BEST WESTERN brand is similar to the domestic Atour positioning. The service facilities are above the average. Parking is free and the parking space is enough. The hotel is in a good location. The room is much larger than expected. There is a balcony."

"This hotel in Geelong is right in the city center, by the beach. It's super convenient. This morning, I saw a sky full of beautiful colors from my room's balcony, so I quickly headed downstairs and crossed the street to the beach. I ended up witnessing a stunning sunrise. The hotel staff are all really friendly. The room has everything you could need – a washing machine, dryer, and a fully equipped kitchen, making it feel just like home. It was fantastic!"

"Experience was great, staff were great, they do let us know if we are late to check in, both check in and check out were pretty easy and the environment is pretty good and safe, overall it was a great experience"

"Everything was amazing about this hotel. Rydges never disappoints you with the location and services. One of the towels provided was dirty though."
