I recently stayed at the Chifley whilst on business in Geelong - very clean and comfortable. The restaurant is great with good quality food and friendly efficient service

The Chifley was heading for full dots until I went to get some sleep. Arrival and check in was great, friendly and efficient. We had a couple of drinks in the bar and the staff were the best I have come across anywhere. We treated ourselves to a dessert from Black Salt and it was amazing! Retiring to our room... More

I stayed here with my teenage daughter for one night recently and thought that this was pretty good value for money. The room was quite spacious and the bed was the most comfortable I think I've ever slept on in a hotel anywhere. The shower was very good - plenty of hot water. The Black Salt restaurant was also good,... More

I stayed at the hotel with my daughter and 2 year old grandson in a 2 bedroom apartment. The beds were comfortable, even for someone as particular as I am. Rooms were clean, tastefully decorated and a great size. Plenty of space, and all the amenities needed to cater for yourself. We chose Room Service though, and the food was... More

Great location. Superb bay views and very close to CBD and other water front activities. Lots of free parking. The room was well appointed. Above and all very professional staff. Excellent value for money.

I have stayed at this property regularly for the past 2 years and not once had a poor experience. All staff are fantastic, nothing is ever a problem. There is a selection of reasonably priced rooms to suit every budget. Everything is clean and well maintained. Abundance of undercover parking. 24hr front desk is convenient. The restaurant is five star,... More

The hotel was easy to find and there was lots of free parking. The staff were friendly and helpful without being 'in your face'. It did not matter that I had booked via Wotif rather than directly with the hotel. The location was superb, just across the road from the beach, providing terrific views and great walks along the water.... More

The room was very spacious and very clean. Had everything you needed and would expect from a hotel. The bathroom was a good size too. Staff were very knowledgable but not overly friendly, again what I would expect from a hotel chain. The noise was terrible though. We were situated at the top of the stairs and being metal you...

The room was modern, spacious and clean. Comfy bed and well appointed. Situated across the road from Eastern beach, the views were lovely. Roughly a $10 taxi fare to the main drag of Geelong CBD. Staff were friendly, helpful and prompt. The only fault we could find was with the breakfast. Our room rate included the buffett breakfast. Eggs are... More

My wife and I travelled to Geelong for business on 04 May 2012. On arrival we went to book in and were told that a further $100 was required as a bond to be refunded in 5 days. It was apparently stated on an email. At no stage whilst making the telephone booking and paying by credit card at the... More
