A five-minute walk from beautiful Eastern Beach, the Novotel Geelong Hotel offers modern, smoke-free accommodations and 24-hour valet parking. Standard guest room amenities include a flat-screen television, minibar, air conditioning, and complimentary Wi-Fi. Many rooms additionally feature a private balcony overlooking the water. The Novotel Geelong Hotel offers active travellers a heated indoor pool, steam room, and fitness centre, all of which are open 24-hours. Guests can enjoy a relaxing view of the shore over breakfast, dinner, or Sunday brunch at the Waterfront Restaurant, Bar, and Lounge. There are also many casual dining restaurants within a comfortable walk. The Carousel, Geelong Botanical Gardens, and the National Wool Museum are also within easy reach on foot, as is the Geelong Train Station. Simonds Stadium is 12 minutes away on the bus, and Avalon Airport is a 20-minute drive.
Few guests fail to mention the hotel's prime location within a short walk of both Eastern Beach and all of the shops, restaurants, museums, and businesses of Geelong CBD. The train station is also close by, and offers an easy commute to Melbourne; the trip takes about 50 minutes.
Guests generally describe the rooms as very clean and spacious, with comfortable beds, well stocked minibars, and simple, modern decor. For many the real highlight is the view of the foreshore from the balcony, particularly from the upper floors. The views from the terrace and the restaurant are also widely described as beautiful.
Guests often rave about the extensive variety of dishes on offer at the breakfast buffet, and many send their compliments to the chef on the eggs cooked to order. The wait staff and reception team have also received high marks for cheerful, professional service.
Drivers are generally unimpressed with the high price for parking (valet only) and note that there is free street parking overnight in the area.
Recent travellers are describing the room decor as somewhat dated, with some visible wear in the carpets, walls, and furnishings. The very "basic" bathrooms are also a downer for guests expecting something more luxurious, given the price.
Reviews of the staff seem to be a bit uneven, with many very positive reviews balanced out with accounts of long waits in the restaurant, unpleasant exchanges at the front desk, and unfortunate housekeeping oversights.
