5/5
Excellent family hotel - hard working and very friendly staff who made us feel at home. Nothing was ever too much and Mandy, Tamie, Joe, Emily and the entire team were so professional and deserve high praise. The food was excellent and the breakfast offer is top class. The level of outside noise made the rooms difficult to sleep in on hot nights - especially if you wanted to keep your balcony door open and the air-conditioning off. The hotel's central location however is excellent, and the Novotel is very close to all the main attractions. Yes, thanks to the wonderful staff, we will be coming back...and look forward to it.

We stayed a night in Novotel Geelong and we were impressed by the service, location was great and food was amazing. Their breakfast was incredible. The fact there was a room for toddlers to play was just a cherry on the top and our toddler was not bored at all. Would highly recommend and would be back.
