Hotels with Breakfast in Geelong

With great views of the pier and Geelong waterfront, the Novotel Geelong made for a great stay for our footy weekend away. Staff were attentive and wonderful to speak with - nothing was too much trouble. We asked to view the conference, meeting and event spaces - again stunning views and many options available. Great dinner at the restaurant, Tempo as well. Perhaps their warm hospitality even helped the Port Adelaide players get up over Geelong (don't tell the locals!). Highly recommend, made a great stay in Geelong even better.

Checked-in was done smoothly. There’s onsite parking available. Only concern is we need to lug our heavy luggages up the staircase. Thank God, it was only one floor up. A bit of noise from the traffic, as our room was facing the main road. However, we loved the room; nice, spacious, sofa, comfy bed, well equipped with microwave oven, toaster, jug kettle and varieties of option for tea and coffee. Housekeeping was done daily! Location wise: Easy access to nearby Gardens and Art Gallery. Can easily walk around if you do not want to drive. Will definitely recommend friends to stay here if they’re in Geelong!

The location was convenient for our Geelong visit and the room was nice clean and simple. Nothing fancy, nothing extra. Staff were kind and helpful. The restaurant was easy to access but the food was a little expensive and there was only limited options but the meals we had were very nice.

We arrived in Geelong relatively late and the front desk was already closed. However, we were contacted quickly after calling, and we were given a room and room card. The room was large and soundproofed very well. Even if it was very close to the highway, you could barely hear any noise.

The motel is just up the road from the waterfront and big wheel, and close to restaurants, cafes and shops. It took about 20 minutes to walk from the railway station. The room was light and spacious, the curtains kept the early morning light out and the windows could be opened for fresh air. The staff were helpful and friendly and let me leave my suitcase when I arrived before check in and again next day after check out. The bed was comfortable and the cleaners had done a great job. It was not as expensive as many Geelong accommodation places and I'd definitely stay again.

Special mention goes to a female staff member (vivi) who prepared breakfast and coffee for the 7 of us after 9 o'clock even though we had not booked breakfast, which was very considerate. Another male blond staff member, after learning that we needed to book a taxi to Apollo Bay, made multiple calls to book a taxi for us. Picked us up at the hotel and was very helpful. I recommend everyone to choose this motel when visiting Geelong.

Good service and beautiful environment

My wife and I stayed overnight at Holiday Inn & Suites for one night. We had a top floor suite with amazing views out to Port Philip Bay. The room was well appointed with lots of space and a very comfortable bed. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. We had prearrange car parking and we drove straight in as there was number plate recognition. We were able to park opposite the lift, which allowed us to get our extensive amount of luggage up to our room. We had a Continental breakfast in the morning which had all you need for a good breakfast. The Holiday Inn & Suites Geelong is a truly good accommodation, however we chose it as we were travelling on the Trans Tasman Ferry with a night sailing. We arrived early so we could do lots of sightseeing in Geelong. We were extremely disappointed as the area was totally empty of anything to do. While it was a Sunday, it was obvious many places were closed permanently. Geelong is a sad, rundown city. This is a double disappointment for me as I did my Uni Degree through Deakin University which is just a block or so from Holiday Inn! We ended up driving to Barwon Heads on the Bellarine Peninsular to fill in our day before we boarded the Ferry at 7-pm.

What a refreshing family run motel. Lots of attention to detail. Everything provided in the room, ironing board, iron etc. Generous coffee and tea satchels etc and a decent size fridge! Air con works well and also the Wifi which is often so patchy, but no, my device stayed connected the whole time I was in the room! Comfortable bed, hot water in the shower- very clean, and welcoming - what more can you ask for! There is a pool but I didn’t have time to enjoy this. I will happily stay there again and can thoroughly recommend his property.
