Best Hotels near Barwon River, Newtown

I stayed here this week and as a small, family owned motel you couldn't do better. Spacious rooms, excellent facilities, comfortable beds, spotlessly clean outside and in, and best quality linen and towels. Close by are supermarkets, cafes, pubs and restaurants too. Friendly, helpful and definitely great value. If you're not fussed about being in the centre of the city but want a convenient, comfortable, quiet place to stay - look no further.

Clean cabins with good on-site amenities including a small playground and indoor pool along with a large park and playground across the road. Like any caravan park, the sites are very closely spaced but we weren’t disturbed by any noise in the evening and kids slept well. Was well located with cafe’s etc within easy reach

Very clean with lots of facilities within the hotel. Bar, restaurant, swimming pool, gym. Located in the centre of downtown Geloong. Excellent breakfast choices. Very friendly and helpful staff. I was quite surprised because in UK our breakfast was breakfast from a vending machine at this chain but here they seem to take customer care to the next level. I had no faults my entire stay.

We arrived late at the hotel. We arrived at 8 or 9 o'clock. The front desk of the hotel left an envelope in the mailbox of the front desk, indicating the location of the room, but did not leave the key, and reminded us to check out the next morning at 10 o'clock ~ The room was early and late, and I stayed very nervous for one night. After finding the location of the house marked in the envelope, it was found that the door of the wooden house was unlocked and the key was placed inside. Feeling insecure. This house is a wooden house, but the taste in the room is really old, and the overall experience is very average.

Use only for a short stay. There is no need to make too many stops in Geelong, the location of the hotel is very biased. There is a supermarket nearby and the price is very cheap. There is also a liquor store nearby.

The beds were super comfy and the motel is a short walk to Geelong waterfront. It is also super close to the Gull bus office so really convenient to get to and from Melbourne Airport. Would stay there again.

Where to start with this one? I booked a twin room (1x queen and 1x single) here through Wotif.com. $181. I was flat out making the 9pm cut off for check in. The women on the reception gave me a check in form and on that I stated 3 people would be staying in the room. She said id only booked for 2 people and would have to get ”the girls” to sort that out tomorrow. We left and went on the rest of our trip and stupidly I booked it again for the way home. It was after this I noticed I had been charged $55 extra for the previous night for the extra person. On check in the 2nd time I marked 2 people staying (myself and my 6yo) as my partner had intended heading off that evening but wasn't sure as it was getting late. Thats where things went south pretty quick, the manager, probably the most abhorrent human I have ever encountered, started yelling at me from the ground whilst I was entering the 1st floor room asking how many was staying. I chose to go and have a conversation in the office instead of yelling. She said she saw on the cameras there were 3 people in the car when we got out and we had enough luggage for 3 people. Well yes, we had been on a 4 day trip. 3 of us. I informed her the 2 person thing was a Wotif default search. I simply put the dates and the town in and then choose an appropriate room for my needs. In this case it was the twin room that sleeps 3, as per the advertisement. She charged me another $55 dollars, refused a refund as per the very convenient ”no refund”. She informed me that this always happens (im not surprised). She accused me of stealing by not indicating how many people were staying there. She was abusive and basically just downright obnoxious. You cannot speak to this person, seriously, she just speaks over you at every chance. I honestly booked a room to accommodate our needs. in all my time booking hundreds of Hotels I have never encountered anything like it. Seriously guys, stay away from this place. I feel stupid falling into the same trap twice but i'd already booked it prior to looking at my credit card transaction. DO NOT STAY AT THIS PLACE, THEY DO NOT DESERVE YOUR BUSINESS!!! I feel sillier after getting home and reading the reviews, seems to be a common theme at this place. I though given the twin share room that sleeps 3 was more expensive than a queen room that i was already paying for a 3rd person. For heaven's sake just go somewhere else, this place is just disgraceful!

Arranged on the third floor, there is no elevator, it is difficult to move boxes. Convenient location. It is a good supply station to start the Great Ocean Road trip. Power off the kitchen wall as soon as the dishwasher starts

We arrived in Geelong relatively late and the front desk was already closed. However, we were contacted quickly after calling, and we were given a room and room card. The room was large and soundproofed very well. Even if it was very close to the highway, you could barely hear any noise.
