Top Geelong Central Hotel Reviews

The Sands Torquay

10/10 Excellent

"Really enjoyed our overnight stay here. The room was great, staff so helpful and friendly and we had an excellent meal in their Italian restaurant. The room we checked into had a bad smell that persisted for a few hours but the staff happily moved us to an alternate room, which was odour free. :-)"

Eden Oak Geelong

8/10 Good

"very friendly staff who were very accommodating. room was fine although lights were a nightmare to work out how to use! not many people staying so big hotel that felt a bit desserted. Pool is small compared to the pictures. Enjoyed a lovely Thai meal in the bar in the evening and good breakfast the next day."

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."
