Top Geelong Waterfront Hotel Reviews

Rydges Geelong

8/10 Good

"Convenient location & clean. However you have to pay $25 per day for parking."

Comfort Inn Geelong

8/10 Good

"At first, I wasn’t sure if I made the right decision booking a room here. Just because the building looked rather old, I was at the wrong entrance trying to get in and I didn’t see any guests going in nor coming out. Nor did I see any staff during my stay. But to be honest, my stay wasn’t bad. In fact I slept pretty well. The room and bathroom was quite clean. I couldn’t figure out where to find the wifi password. That was one issue I had. Not sure if there were any other guests on my floor. It was that quiet."
