Bayside Geelong Hotel & Apartments, an Ascend Collection Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay! The hotel was nice and clean, and the indoor pool was a real highlight. Everything felt comfortable and well looked after — exactly what you want from a hotel. Highly recommend!"

Eden Oak Geelong

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was perfect from reception, the room, restaurant and the food."

Nightelier Rye

8/10 Good

"Very good place to stay but the lights in the corridor were way too bright and it made sleeping very difficult .The lights should be sensor lights ."

Rydges Geelong

8/10 Good

"We liked the presentation of the property and convenience of location. What wasn’t so good was the food offerings. There was no option for something small at breakfast. You had two choices, a full or a continental breakfast. Also we booked a cab and the receptionist told us to sit down away from the entry and he would tell us when the taxi arrived. After a long wait we asked where the taxi was and he said it had been taken by someone else. He ordered another but it was then a mad rush to catch our train."

Admiralty Inn

8/10 Good

"The bathroom was clean but behind the couch had not been cleaned at all and dusty room. The guest book hadn't been checked. A broken light above the bed. In saying all that I would definitely stay again for the convenience to the city centre."
