A beautiful hotel with lovely rooms and facilities. Very close to the waterfront and shopping and cafes. The staff were very helpful, the restaurant for dinner and breakfast was outstanding. The water views from our room and the bar were fabulous. We had a very pleasant stay and would highly recommend this hotel to others.

Very clean hotel, quiet but still okay for kids. Great selection of in room amenities. The only thing we found is that the lighting in the room was very aesthetic but at times a little dark.

With a magnificent view over Corp Bay and in a great position in the heart of Geelong this was a great stay. Staff were courteous and helpful and the buffet breakfast was a welcome start to the day.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Go for the bay view which is worth the extra. High quality but decor is rather dark and dull. Not bright enough lighting in the rooms. Our room had no lighting over the in room coffee machine area (bring your phone). Highlights were Bed, Shower, Skyline Bar and Breakfast, including excellent barista coffee. Service staff were good. Dinner did not impress.

Nice new premises, beautiful view esp from roof top bar, would have given 5 stars except no onsite parking, had to park in streets
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

I enjoyed our stay, even tho we had white out fog from when we arrived at 4pm until we went to sleep. Literally couldnt see the other side of the street. The hotel was comfortable, warm & quiet. The roof top bar was delightful, sadly without views, due to the fog, moody lighting & delicious drinks. I meant to pack so we could use the indoor pool, but forgot! Breakfast was great, with a range of pastries, cereals, hot food & other things. All the staff were sweet & helpful, I wish I had asked about parking, because I'm sure they would have been knowledgeable. Then I would have paid the $45 for valet parking... that allows you to come & go, over the course of your stay; but,I thought sounded excessive. So, I used the Wilson car park underneath & ended up paying $56 from 7pm until 11 am!

Room was brand new, so definitely spotless. bedding and towels were soft and fluffy. The walk in shower was roomy and excellent. Staff were, generally, very good. When we checking on the Sunday, there was a long wait as I feel that Amber should have not been on her own. Other items was more toiletries in the bathroom. eg. shower caps, combs and spare toothbrush and toothpaste. Also special mention to the Sunday morning breakfast team. Breakfast was outstanding - the cooked offer were great especially the 'creamy' scrambled eggs (how scrambled eggs should be cooked) and the chicken sausages. However the breakfast staff were clearly new and less experienced and were not as attentive as expected in a 5 star hotel.
