Excellent and quick check in. Lovely staff. Big room. We had a great view of the Cats footy Oval. Free wifi! Close walk to an excellent taco place! Parking was easy on the street. No need to pay to secure your car as street parking becomes free after 5.30pm and before 9am. So if your out all day its super easy.

Everything was great. However, the bed was a little too soft for us and we sank in the middle together. We would still return however we would get singles or twins. The shower is also very small and we had a shower over a bath which was quite small and made it hard not to get water everywhere.

We had a very pleasant one-night stay at Rydges. The property appeared to have had a recent refurbishment; the lobby and restaurant were modern and up to date, rooms were bright and airy, and everything was functional. The beds were standout; seemingly quite new they were soft and comfortable, and pillows were sturdy and supportive. The staff member at check-in was fantastic, and provided me with a pedestal fan for our room at my request. While a fairly basic offering, all room facilities were clean & worked.

The open-air parking lot with quite a high daily fee is unfortunate, and the rooms do lack a safe. Being winter, we didn't have the opportunity to test the (outdoor) pool & facilities.

The location was good, close to Westfield Shopping Centre, Geelong Water front is only 13min walk. The rooms were very spacious, glad I got what I requested for- interconnecting rooms. The buffet breakfast was good with different options, and what made it even more delicious was the waffles with variety of toppings like chocolate and the sprinkles. And to have that on Friday public holiday was a bonus!

Although the rooms were clean, the facilities are not updated or modern. Also, noisy AC and looks like it was already being programmed to a limited adjustment so the heating and cooling wasn't great. Some fruits in the breakfast were not fresh however there were other options to choose from. Hot chocolate is not included in the buffet you have to pay extra if you need one. Other than that, our stay was lovely

They gave me chocolate & breakfast discount as a birthday gift and their staffs are all friendly and welcoming. Their breakfast buffet do not have lots of options but the hot food all tastes great! Better than average I would say. Good value! I will come back for the breakfast buffet. My 5yo son enjoys it also, has a variety of bread and spreads. They provded cooked beans, tomato, scrambled egg, sausage and bacon. I didn't try the bacon but the others are great.

The heater is so noisy I couldn't fall asleep, I need to switch to another bed. The carpet looks so old and dirty. They should invest more in the coffee machine and provide more tea options. I don't understand why no Earl Grey but has lemon ginger tea instead

Excellent Position

Having to pay for parking.

Room was clean. An older shower but nice tiles Friendly service Great location

Room felt a bit dated The mattress were to soft The pool was to busy The direction to the gym was not correct so we found it to late. The buffet breakfast was not worth the cost. It tasted ok but the machine only made black coffee. No hot chocolate available. Not that much choice in item in the buffet. Like no cheese. So stuck to the scrambled eggs, some baked beans looked house made, chicken sausage, becon and hasbrowns. Fruit, yoghurt, muslie, toast some sweet pastry. Corn flakes, jam etc. As I am on low carb diet I stuck to eggs, sausage some beans and fried tomatoes, 1 slice of wholemeal bread. The eggs just needed a little something to make them tastier.

Every staff member was a delight to deal with. I was made to feel so incredibly welcome, nothing was any trouble and my room was just wonderful. I was at the hotel for an event and it was easy to get from my room to the function centre. I also loved being able to park on site, which was super convenient for me.

One small thing is the lighting in the room - it was very low light at night which made it hard to get good photos after I'd dressed up for an evening event. But this is being really picky.

Friendly courteous and efficient staff. We chose to stay at Rydges Geelong because it was right next door to St John of God Hospital as we were from out of town and needed to stay there for two nights whilst our family member had surgery. The room was spacious, clean and had everything we needed for our stay which included two very comfortable double beds. We were very appreciative of being able to have dinner at the restaurant located within the hotel, our meals were top quality and the restaurant staff very pleasant and attentive and dealt with a very unpleasant patron with the utmost professionalism. Secure onsite car parking was also very reasonably priced and the added bonus was a delightful coffee shop right across the road.

The only criticism we have is that when we asked reception for extra tea bags we were only offered two initially which wouldn’t have gone very far between our family but upon request we were given more.

Great Location, Really great comfortable bed, Excellent shower pressure. Had an issue with a noisy room, and staff went above and beyond to find me a quieter room and closer to other people I was with.

A couple of times our floor got noisy with children running around the hotel floor playing. I had loud disrespectful guests next door coming home back to their room being noisy and loud on 2 nights at 3 am and 2am in the morning. ( This wasn't the hotels fault though). My room was very noisy due to the fan outside the window and being a light sleeper, I had terrible sleep. This was resolved as they moved me.

The rooms were spacious and clean. They had a great view of the foreshore so we could see the New Years Eve fireworks very well. The staff were wonderful. The ladies at the front desk were very able and willing to help with any queries and questions. Check-in and check out were easy and quick. We stayed on New Years Eve, which was reflected in the price. It was excessive but typical of the time of year. Otherwise, this hotel is very reasonably priced.

The beds were a little softer than we were used to. The car park entrance was difficult to get into as there is a speed hump right at the boom gate.
