Hotels near Kardinia Park, Geelong

"We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the check-in and check-out process was smooth. The location was convenient, making it easy to explore the area. Overall, it was a great experience for our family, and we would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others."

"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."

"My star at Rydges Geelong was excellent. Staff very polite & accommodating facilities excellent. Cleanliness excellent throughout all areas. Highly recommend"

"We had a wonderful experience staying at this motel! The property has been newly renovated, and it truly shows. Everything was spotlessly clean, featuring beautiful new tiles and fresh, comfortable new carpet in the rooms. The highlight of our stay, however, was the service. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. They kindly allowed us to store our luggage after check-out so we could attend a graduation ceremony without dragging our bags along. Thank you so much for your hospitality—we highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again!"

"Wonderful, warm and comfortable cabin..... heated pool in winter was a great surprise for the children. We left something behind and the staff promptly contacted us and then held on to it until we could make it back to collect. Much appreciated. Highly recommend!"

"This was our first stop on our road trip from Melbourne to Adelaide, via the Great Ocean Road. As it was my first time driving a right-hand-drive car, I chose Geelong, being the closest to Melbourne, as our initial stopover. The hotel's location is excellent, right in front of Geelong Beach and behind Geelong's commercial center, making it convenient for dining and stocking up for a long drive. Both the hotel room and bathroom were spacious and bright, and at least upon check-in, they were very clean. The front desk staff was friendly and proactively arranged valet parking. Since there were three of us, housekeeping promptly set up and made the sofa bed. I do have to mention a common drawback: there were no disposable slippers. And another common issue: in today's personalized era, the shampoo, conditioner, and body wash provided aren't really that useful. It would be better to save on those and instead provide guests with disposable slippers and shower caps."

"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."

"I absolutely love Eden Oak! It's surrounded by lush greenery within a park setting, and features a hot spring swimming pool. The rooms are uniquely styled, clean, and hygienic, fully equipped with hand soap, hand lotion, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. The mini-fridge, tea, and coffee are all provided. The lobby's design is stunning, and the breakfast is rich and nutritious, with coffee and drinks that I really enjoy. I've been here six times already; whenever I need a getaway, this is where I think of. My entire family, young and old, loves it. It's less than a two-hour drive from Melbourne. Highly recommended to everyone!"

"Great spot not to far from the city, close to amenities. Modern decor in rooms, and great value for money!"

"Staffs arr very kind and hospitable. They upgraded the room for us from ground floor to 9th floor and from the room we can see the sea. The unit is very well-equipped and comfortable.There are washer and dryer, fidge and freezer and dishwashee. It takes only 2-3 minutes walk to the sea and to Westfield Mall. In all we are so impressed with everything."
