Reviews for Novotel Geelong

Easy check in with friendly and informative staff! Deluxe King room with water views from the balcony was amazing. Room itself was on the smaller side for Novotel, but perfectly formed, ultra clean and styled with modern furnishings .. oh and did I mention the view! It was amazing day and night. Buffet breakfast was worth the extra cost - plenty of choices, fresh and always being refreshed. Pool was perfect for some wind down laps after work. Highly recommend!

Our room was a great size, well located within Geelong. We had a conference there. When arriving we were happily and warmly greeted by Noah! He make our check-in easy and enjoyable. He was so nice! Esky to walk around with everything so close. Would love to stay there again.

Novotel, Geelong. Right, so, decent. That's the word. Decent. The lobby? Fine. The restaurant and bar? Pretty good, actually. The staff? Absolute legends. I mean, they were even smiling when I asked for a dental kit at 4 a.m. That's dedication. Now, the rooms. Oh, the rooms. Let's just say they've seen better days. They're like a time capsule from the '90s, but not in a cool, retro way. More in a "please, someone update this wallpaper" way. Dated is an understatement. Look, if you're looking for a place to crash for a night or two, and you're not too fussed about interior design, the Novotel will do the job. The staff are great, the food's decent, and the location's convenient.

I recently stayed at the Novotel Geelong and had a generally pleasant experience, though there are areas that could use improvement. The hotel’s standout feature is its fantastic location, right on the waterfront and within walking distance of shops, restaurants, and local attractions. The staff is friendly and welcoming, which made check-in and dining experiences enjoyable. The rooms are spacious enough for a comfortable stay, and the bathrooms are well-designed, though some fixtures could use maintenance—loose fittings and low water pressure in the shower were minor inconveniences. One of the best surprises of my stay was Tempo, the hotel’s downstairs restaurant. The food and service were excellent, making it a must-visit even if you’re not staying at the hotel. However, there were some drawbacks. The valet service can get messy, especially because the front desk staff is responsible for handling it alongside check-ins, causing delays. A dedicated valet team would make the process much smoother. Additionally, storage space in the rooms is lacking, with only two hangers provided and no usable drawers, making it difficult to unpack properly. The overall room quality varies—some could benefit from better cleaning and updates, as I noticed dust on top of the wardrobe and stains on the carpet. If you’re booking a bay view room, be aware that there’s a huge difference between them—some have wrap-around balconies, while others only have a small space just large enough for two chairs. It’s worth confirming the balcony type when making a reservation. Overall, the Novotel Geelong has a lot going for it, particularly its prime location and friendly service. With better organization at the front desk, improved storage solutions, and some maintenance updates, it could easily be a top-tier stay.

"WOW, what a stay! From the moment we arrived at the Novotel hotel in Geelong, we were blown away by the incredible service! The warm welcome continued with a beautiful bottle of Shiraz and a thoughtful card from Manager Scott - thank you, Scott, it truly made our stay special! Our short but sweet getaway began with a refreshing swim in the pool and a relaxing lounge on the outlook, taking in the stunning beach views. Then, we got ready for a night to remember at the hotel's restaurant, Tampo. The perfect blend of comfort, luxury, and exceptional service made our stay at the Novotel Geelong truly unforgettable!
