I had a particularly satisfying stay this time. The hotel's location is excellent, making it very convenient for getting around and shopping, with plenty of dining options nearby. The front desk staff were warm and thoughtful, handling check-in and check-out efficiently with a gentle and polite attitude. The room was clean and tidy, with a logical layout, soft and comfortable bedding, and great sound insulation, ensuring a very quiet night's rest. The bathroom had a wet/dry separation, all toiletries were complete and clean, and there was ample hot water supply. The overall environment and hygiene were well-maintained; there were no unpleasant odors in the hallways or public areas. The breakfast offered a rich variety, including meat, vegetables, desserts, and drinks, all tasting homely and offering good value. The hotel provides great value for money, with comprehensive facilities and attentive service, leading to a wonderful living experience. I will definitely choose this place again on my next visit and highly recommend it to everyone.

This motel was good value for money. It has been nicely renovated and was very comfortable. The position was close enough for us to walk to the shops and there were plenty of eateries in walking distance. There was a microwave and a new fridge. Highly recommend staying here.

Motel, just off the highway. There is an independent yard where the car can be parked in front of the room. The room is not big, the furnishings are simple and a bit old, the two single beds are narrow, and the bathroom is relatively clean. It is not a bad idea to spend a night after a long drive. The man who checked in was kind and friendly.

A very decent motel. Because it was already 18:30 when we arrived at Melbourne Airport and it was 20:00 to pick up the car, we were heading to the Great Ocean Road the next day, so we chose Geelong to spend the night. Surprisingly, there is a microwave, two refrigerators, and some tableware in the room.

Our stay was wonderful, and peaceful
The rooms were really soundproof which was unexpected and no distubance from outside noise or neighbors, the rooms were lovely and organised
The apartment was closer to the beach than we expected and it was perfect as shopping centres were close by.

Privacy so perfect and no disturbance to our holiday at all, our room was very homely and spaceful
Beautiful view from our balcony at evening
I would love to book again

Picked here cause the location is awesome.
Visiting again and everything was expected, only very minor issues like fighting for a car park, slight shower damage and co fusing layout. But it dint deter from a nice night sleep and free brekkie before heading out. The best part is still the location, you’re inside a national park!
Very Good

Great
@@yahooStaffs arr very kind and hospitable. They upgraded the room for us from ground floor to 9th floor and from the room we can see the sea. The unit is very well-equipped and comfortable.There are washer and dryer, fidge and freezer and dishwashee. It takes only 2-3 minutes walk to the sea and to Westfield Mall. In all we are so impressed with everything.
GGuest UserMy wife and I had a wonderful stay at Parkside Motel Geelong. From the moment we arrived, Emma at reception gave me a warm and welcoming greeting that set the tone for our visit. The room was beautifully appointed, with stunning floor-to-ceiling windows offering a full park view, such a perfect way to unwind and take in the scenery. The bedding was comfortable for a restful night’s sleep. We also really appreciated the armchairs which gave the feeling of a stylish, hotel-lobby sofa. The highlight was definitely the corner spa, well designed and perfectly sized for two, adding a touch of relaxation and luxury to the stay.
Overall, everything from value for money to service exceeded expectations, we highly recommended for anyone visiting Geelong!
SsongweisThe room is clean, well-equipped, and comfortable. The transportation is also convenient. The self-service key collection and return are convenient. There is also a common area with a stove. The sound insulation is a little poor. Overall, it is good.
GGuest UserThe 2 bedroom was roomy and comfy. We had requested one room to be 2 single beds, unfortunately the hotel said they did not receive the request. Would have been nicer if there were 2 bathrooms. Parking at the front is free from 5pm til 9am in the morning.
GGuest UserNovotel was a perfect location, rating it as 10 stars if I could. The only thing, I booked for 2 rooms at Trip.com but got only one room when we actually went to Novotel so I need to book again for another room .The reception said I was overpriced from trip.com paying for 2 rooms when it's actually only one ☹️☹️☹️
Cclub157Wonderful, warm and comfortable cabin..... heated pool in winter was a great surprise for the children.
We left something behind and the staff promptly contacted us and then held on to it until we could make it back to collect. Much appreciated.
Highly recommend!
HHualidepaoziThe rooms are very good, with one large bed in one room and four bunk beds in the other. It can accommodate a family without being crowded. The living room is large, the kitchen is complete with basic tools, and the bathroom is very clean. There is also a swimming pool and children's play facilities in the garden. It's very close to the supermarket and convenient for shopping. In short, it is highly recommended to stop by car.
GGuest UserNice and peaceful location. Room was cool even though it was a very hot day so it wasn’t necessary to use aircon. Awesome mattress to sleep on - not too hard or too soft, perfect! Plenty of power points to charge devices, located at bedside as well as by dining table. Hassle-free check-in and check-out. Pokie gaming in the evening was fun. We would definitely stay here again.
GGuest UserOverall happy with accommodation. The beds were super comfortable and room was clean. The shower was probably the best I have ever had in any motel room I have stayed at. Water pressure was great and shower head was super high so nobody would be unable to fit under water spray (in my room at least, not sure about other rooms)
Outside the paths were in need of a sweep and could have been a bit tidier down our end of the accommodation area. The fan and window in bathroom both were in need of a good clean but other than that room was clean and I was happy for the price.
OOreinshFirst time in Geelong. A very good place. The hotel is in a good location and affordable. Lovely staff. Walking distance to the beautiful beach side and restaurants. Our room is pleasant we slept very well. I really liked the bathroom very clean.
