Cassandra D. L. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

Well located, comfortable stay. Lovely, accomodating staff. However, the constant construction noise was terrible and was a terrible wake-up call. This also made working from the venue quite challenging. Additionally, the pool was covered in construction dust and while I would have loved a swim, and the pool was not closed, the thought of swimming in a pool covered in dust was not appealing.

Nadiah Z. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

the room service was very bad. no overnight stay towels were changed. no cleaning of the toilet was done. room was also not cleaned. and upon asking reception informed me that i need to first place a request for room cleaning and toilet cleaning. this is very weird because i am a regular traveller and have stayed at several places before and at all those hotels the room cleaning service has been excellent. they would clean the room as soon as guest leaves the room to go outside for work or whatever the reason. the location of the hotel is excellent though.

Dear Nadiah, Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased you enjoyed our excellent location. We’re sorry that your room and bathroom were not serviced during your two-night stay and that the information provided by reception did not meet your expectations.

Wendy E. Solo - Confirmed reviews ALL

On waiting for my driver to collect me the staff person outside in the driveway was so rude. Telling my driver to move away and park in between two parked cars and then snapped at me to not scratch the parked cars with my suitcase, I also had large bags which made it awkward to place in the car.

Dear Wendy, Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about the way you were treated while waiting for your driver. We understand that managing large bags in a busy driveway can be difficult, and our team should have assisted you with more care and patience.

Janice L. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

Our view was a construction site and we didn't enjoy our evening meal in the restaurant. My chips were delivered to our table with my husband's meal. My steak was delivered a few minutes later. My steak was cooked as I requested, but was not very flavouresome. Neither were the chips. My husband's gnocchi was ok but overpriced. Not as nice as in a pizza and pasta restaurant.

Dear Janice, Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry that the construction view and your dining experience did not meet expectations. We apologise for the delay in serving your steak and for the lack of flavour in the steak and chips. We also appreciate your comments regarding the restaurant and parking prices, and have shared your feedback with the relevant teams for review. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon.

Kahlia M. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

The hotel was located in a great location. Right on the waterfront and Westfield shopping centre right behind. I was a little dissapointed about the pool and fitness centre / steam room. The pool wasn’t warm and advertised as heated, and very run down. The steam room smelt like mould so I didn’t use it, but was really keen too. The room was fine, comfy and roomy.

Dear Kahlia, Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased you enjoyed our waterfront location and found your room comfortable and spacious. We’re sorry that the pool and fitness facilities did not meet your expectations, particularly the pool temperature and the condition and smell of the steam room.

Wei H. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

Room is very noisy from 7am due to construction! I understand this was previously communicated after booking was made but the room is the only type that can accommodate 2+2 kids stay and is next to the project. We booked two rooms using our two stay plus benefits with no issue but was later informed only one room can enjoy the benefits and the price in our booking in Accor App was then increased. No benefits offered to us for the noisy room and the unpleasant booking experience. Kids cannot rest well at all so we had to leave after one night but paying two rooms for two nights. We are gold member but this was a very disappointing experience!

Dear Wei, Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re sorry that the construction noise from 7am significantly affected your family’s stay and that your children were unable to rest comfortably. We also apologise for the confusion around the Stay Plus benefits and the change in the booking price. We understand how frustrating this would have been, particularly as a Gold member. Your feedback regarding the booking process, construction impact and lack of assistance for the affected room has been shared with the relevant teams for review. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Kind regards, The Team at Novotel Geelong

Great food; staff excellent; building noise unacceptable as I had booked 8 months in advance; booked and paid for a water view - had to sit in corner of balcony one st a time. Additional cost for parking not advised at time of booking.

Dear Dianne, Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased you enjoyed the food and found our staff excellent. We’re sorry that the building noise affected your stay, particularly after booking well in advance, and that the balcony view did not provide the experience you expected. We also apologise that the parking cost was not clearly communicated at the time of booking. Your feedback has been shared with the relevant teams for review. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Kind regards, The Team at Novotel Geelong

Marita A. Friends - Confirmed reviews ALL

The only redeeming qualities at this venue was the staff and the location. Considering the amount of disturbance through the construction work, they had no right to charge full price to any guest. We got a small group discount, but it was definitely not worth the cost. As a member of a group which meets annually, this was the most expensive and the worst I've attended. The food provided to the group was abysmal, apart from one meal of roast meats which was adequate. Certainly not up to the usual standard from previous years. Pre-packaged desserts (pav with no cream, sheet cakes cut up etc), chicken cold when served, hot dogs (REALLY?) on dry rolls, stale sandwiches, beetroot salad where the beetroot was raw. Just woeful. If you can't cater to a group of 100 then don't take the booking. And the construction noise - we kept being reminded it was M - F 7am to 5pm. Well, NO, the beeping and thumping started at 6.30am M - F and then on Saturday it started at 8am . And it wasn't just a distant noise, it interfered with TV's, heaven help you if you wanted to rest in the afternoon. One of our group could hear it on the other side of her wall. The air-con in my room was too loud to leave on overnight, but if that was the only complaint I would have dealt with it. The staff were fabulous, polite and helpful, fully let down by the rest. The booking was made over 18 months ago and I am sure that the organisers were not aware of the level of disturbance that would be present, if at all. And it should absolutely be offering at least a 50% off discount to every person staying.

Dear Marita, Thank you for taking the time to provide such detailed feedback. We’re sorry that the construction noise and catering fell well short of your expectations, particularly during an annual group stay that had been booked well in advance. We apologise for the early and ongoing construction disturbance and for the impact it had on your ability to rest and enjoy your room. We also regret that the group catering did not meet the standard you expected, and we appreciate the specific details you have provided regarding the meals and desserts. We’re pleased to hear our staff were consistently polite, helpful and welcoming. Your feedback has been shared with the relevant teams for review. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Kind regards, The Team at Novotel Geelong

Insufficient warning about the level of construction noise from early in the morning to late afternoon. The payment system was annoying as the card reader and the computer did not seem to connect to each other. There was no discount to compensate for the noise with any relaxation curtailed. A group gathering in the Peninsula Room for the weekend was let down by the catering.

Dear Margaret, Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re sorry that the construction noise had such a significant impact on your stay, particularly with the early start and the room being close to the works. We also apologise for the room allocation issues, the condition of the second room, low water pressure and the difficulties you experienced with the payment process and reception service. We appreciate your feedback regarding the conference booking and catering as well. Your comments have been shared with the relevant teams for review. We’re pleased to hear our barman made you feel welcome and comfortable, and we appreciate your positive comments regarding the housekeeping approach. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Kind regards, The Team at Novotel Geelong
