Top Geelong Hotel Reviews

Rydges Geelong

Rydges Geelong

8/10 Good
"We liked the presentation of the property and convenience of location. What wasn’t so good was the food offerings. There was no option for something small at breakfast. You had two choices, a full or a continental breakfast. Also we booked a cab and the receptionist told us to sit down away from the entry and he would tell us when the taxi arrived. After a long wait we asked where the taxi was and he said it had been taken by someone else. He ordered another but it was then a mad rush to catch our train."
