The rooms were clean and close to the beach. Sauna was nice , pool area had a great view of the ocean. But the floors had some rust looking spots on the floor and surrounding. I would love to have been able to go out on that area and enjoy some drinks with the lovely view but it was closed.

This hotel is perfectly located opposite Eastern Beach. It's walking distance to shops, cafes, bars, and restaurants. Our balcony room was directly opposite the beach, and we often sat on the spacious balcony just taking in the glory of a sunset, and occasionally a sunrise. The room was comfortable with good amenities. We also ate in the Tempo restaurant, which had a good menu choice. We booked dinner for 7pm, but we weren't made aware the kitchen closes at 8.30pm, and were left sitting waiting for our waiter to clear our table so we could order desert (the waiters were nowhere to be found after 8.20pm). Fortunately we found a staff member who went into the kitchen and brought back two deserts for us to take to our room. That's good service! Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will happily return in the near future.

We have stayed in this hotel a lot over the years. We love the wonderful staff and attention to detail. The rooms are lovely and have a balcony so you can sit outside and enjoy the fresh air and gorgeous view of the esplanade. A wonderful restaurant downstairs too. Thank you

The hotel was well situated with easy access to the beachfront. I travelled for business and the main conference room had a fantastic view and balcony which was great. I went as a delegate and the food and drinks package was very good and the hotel room was well appointed. Would recommend!

We stayed in the deluxe king room with a bay view at Novotel Geelong for the weekend, and it was so relaxing. The staff were welcoming and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The view from our room was stunning—absolutely to die for, and we loved watching the bay morning and night. The hotel breakfast was fantastic, with plenty of options and delicious fresh juices. We spent a lot of time enjoying the hotel’s amenities, especially the pool and steam room, which were both clean and inviting. The location is perfect, with the waterfront, restaurants, and shops all within walking distance. Parking was convenient, and it was easy to get to all the local attractions. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and well-decorated, with everything we needed for a perfect weekend getaway. Overall, our stay at Novotel Geelong exceeded our expectations, and we left feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. We can’t wait to come back for another relaxing weekend. Highly recommend!
