I enjoyed my visit myself, room was was spacious and bed was really comfortable. Enjoyed a great dinner in the restaurant and buffet breakfast. Great view if your a Cats supporter. However, on time of booking I notified staff that a guest would be using a wheelchair and a walker and I asked if the bathroom would be suitable. I was assured it would be as I was given a room with a separate shower. Lucky my guest couldn't come as the door frame and bathroom was not suitable at all. No room to fit walker and be able to close the door.

I recently stayed at Rydges Geelong, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The hotel's location is incredibly convenient, being just a short walk to the CBD, making it easy to explore the city. One of the highlights of my stay was the stunning view of GHMBA Stadium. On footy nights, the sight of the stadium all lit up was truly a spectacle. It added a special touch to the evenings and made the stay even more memorable. The staff at Rydges Geelong were amazing and incredibly helpful. They went out of their way to accommodate my personal needs, ensuring that I felt welcome and comfortable throughout my stay. Their friendliness and professionalism truly stood out. The rooms were clean, spacious, and well-maintained, providing a perfect retreat after a day of exploring Geelong. I appreciated the attention to detail in ensuring a comfortable and pleasant stay. Additionally, the food at Rydges Geelong was fantastic. The variety and quality of the meals exceeded my expectations, making dining at the hotel a delightful experience. Overall, my stay at Rydges Geelong was outstanding, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. The combination of a great location, excellent views, wonderful staff, and superb amenities made it a perfect choice for my trip.

Great rooms, very soft, comfy beds. Standard coffee and tea-making facilities. Cute pool beside the restaurant, with a nice spa. Breakfast buffet is standard, but very tasty. Some good offers and upgrades available - worth signing up as a member. Secure, off-street parking available at a cost - around $27 a night for unlimited entry/exit. Otherwise, heaps of parking on street, but not secure.

Large rooms, great service for price paid over easter. Kid friendly and clean. Pool area is good just spa walls need to be re tiled as some tiles missing. No nose from busy traffic. Good location

We had a short weekend getaway and our stay was pleasant. Rafi at the reception was very welcoming and approachable. He was proactive to check in with us what we want to know about the local amenities and offered suggestions which have made our short holiday a memorable experience. Thank you
