Our take

I would pick Rydges Geelong for a straightforward city base with a pool and spa rather than a destination resort. The bay or city views from the larger windows are a pleasant bonus, dinner at Nautica Pool Bar and Kitchen keeps evenings easy, and the waterfront is within walking distance. A 7.8 from nearly 4,000 guests suggests solid, not spectacular.

  • ✓Pre-book your parking online to ensure a spot, as it's required for guests.
  • ✓Take advantage of the hotel's location to walk to the waterfront and explore the local shops.
  • ✓Consider this hotel as your starting point for day trips along the scenic Great Ocean Road.
