Rydges Geelong

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING STAFF they go above and beyond with you. Making sure you have everything you need. I HIGHLY recommend this place. The one and only issue I had was the room was so hot I had to move the bed next to the window. And its currently winter too...

We had a very pleasant one-night stay at Rydges. The property appeared to have had a recent refurbishment; the lobby and restaurant were modern and up to date, rooms were bright and airy, and everything was functional. The beds were standout; seemingly quite new they were soft and comfortable, and pillows were sturdy and supportive. The staff member at check-in was fantastic, and provided me with a pedestal fan for our room at my request. While a fairly basic offering, all room facilities were clean & worked. Our room had a nice view of the bay. The open-air parking lot with quite a high daily fee is unfortunate, and the rooms do lack a safe. Being winter, we didn't have the opportunity to test the (outdoor) pool & facilities. A budget-friendly, updated hotel with comfortable beds, good for a short stay.

The room was comfortable and spacious, although the bathroom was quite small. The room however lacked a few things. There was no milk for tea or coffee, no in room information about services available. The heating in the room was broken, but we were supplied with a small fan heater on request. Also no streaming services on the TV, only normal free to air TV, no Netflix or anything which I have never struck before. Room service was pretty ordinary but tasted okay, definitely wasn't presented very well. The staff were very nice and helpful when we needed anything.
