Cannot thank everyone involved enough for making our wedding day so special 🫶 My wife and I got married at the Rydges Hotel 2 Saturdays ago, and we had the best time. Leading up to the event, Lucy and her team communicated with us on a daily basis. They were very attentive to detail regarding what we wanted and went above and beyond our expectations. The food (well done to the chefs: the chicken, steaks, and desserts were unreal) on the day, as well as the service and beverages (a big well done to Judi), and front of house (Taylor) were excellent in every aspect. We wanted to get married at the Geelong waterfront, but the weather wasn’t the best. Luckily, we had a room as a backup, for which we couldn’t be more grateful. The hotel suite we stayed in was one of the biggest hotel rooms we have ever stayed in. I think it was called the Ambassador Suite. We also had complimentary sparkling wine with fruit platters and cake platters sent to our room shortly after our wedding lunch. Breakfast was also top-notch. Well done! We are super happy with how everything played out and how well looked after we were. Thank you all. Kind regards, Kate & Christian

Quite disappointed with recent visit. For $27 parking, you would hope it was undercover (it wasn't). If you pay for a full breakfast, it doesn't include coffee (you have to pay extra at the bar). Our fridge didn't work. I tried calling reception 3 times and after a 10 minute wait each time with no answer I gave up. Reception staff not as friendly as others. There are wires coming out of the elevator lift buttons - not great for safety. Other hotels have herbal tea or hot chocolate in the rooms, but supplies are very minimal here. The shower water pressure was like a dribble. I have environmental shower heads at home that are 3 times stronger than theirs. The beds are very comfortable though, so that was one redeeming feature.

Staff are friendly, helpful and welcoming. The rooms are clean and well equipped. Beds and pillows are snuggle worthy. Very comfortable. The location is central and convenient. Worth pre booking the parking as the on street parking is quite limited. Breakfast is nice too.

Went to stay for the night with my partner this past Tuesday night. The room was nice. Was told it was premium so we expected so. Parking is super expensive at $27 so had to park on the street. Staff and customer communication isn’t the best. We opened our fridge and found drinks and such in there. Thought it was apart of the whole package… considering it was $201. No one had told us it wasn’t. Only to find out I had been charged a further $118 later on. Don’t appreciate not being specific with your customers about things. Like why was there alcoholic drinks in our fridge if we weren’t meant to have them? That’s sneaky and sly in my honest opinion. Overall was a little disappointed to be honest.

Stayed here for the weekend to attend the Geelong Revival. We stayed here last year for the same event and it was so good we booked again. We booked the Nautica dinner, bed and breakfast package. Our room was spacious and clean with room service available if required. Our 2 course dinners could on ly be described as being in the fine food category. Absolutely beautiful each night. The Buffet breakfast was generous and tasty also. We had a great weekend as we didn't have to go looking around for somewhere to eat after the event. We would definitely recommend Ridges Geelong as it's a high class feel for a reasonable price.
