Top Geelong Central Hotel Reviews

The Sands Torquay

10/10 Excellent

"Would stay here again"

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."

Wyndham Resort Torquay

8/10 Good

"Pool and spa were great our apartment was clean. You could not connect the Tv to our Netflix was coming up that there is no internet connection so that was really disappointing. Distance to the main street was only a 15 minute walk. Only disappointment was, when we checked in we were told that check out was changed from 11.00 am to 10.00 am and world not extend the check out to 11.00am even though check in is at 3.00pm and they had plenty of time to clean after we checked out."
