Good location but very disappointing experience
Pros:

The location of the hotel. The room size.

Cons:

The room was dirty, especially the carpets. The blinds could not shut as the cords were tangled up and stuck. The pilllows were too flat and soft - provided no comfort or support at all. The walls were too thin - could hear people in other rooms and it did not block out any music from the nearby club. The whole bathroom floor gets all wet/flooded when showering. Multiple phone calls were needed before staff pick up the phone - waited outside the hotel for a while as they never gave me information about access codes for the hotel, my room or even what my room number was after claiming they "already" sent this information. Had to follow up get my $150 bond refund after check out.

It was fine for our purposes.
Pros:

The property was as expected. Room was clean. Good location

Cons:

The main issue is a lack of a window in the room. We were out most of the day but if you were wanting to hang out in your room it would feel like a cell. It was a bit disconcerting to not have staff available. But it all worked out ok with messages and codes. Having somewhere to leave your luggage that was secure, not under the stairs, prior to check in would have been helpful

I've stayed here about a dozen times...
Pros:

I've stayed at the Electric Hotel maybe about a dozen times and it's always is a great experience, it has good vibes. A few standouts:
- Easy "deskless" check in, always clean and well presented, love how discreet the entrances are, straight off the street and very secure. Always feel safe and comfortable the minute I enter the main door, or back door of this establishment. And last but definitely not least by any means, the location of the Electric Hotel is second to none. Best central location in Geelong then any other hotel. Highly recommend AAA+++👌

Cons:

I actually can't think of anything bad that's worth mentioning

Central location, close to restaurants bars and the Performing Arts Centre. Self check in and check out. Comfortable bed and facilities. Love the brass fittings in the bathroom. Very affordable and perfect for our one night stay.

Cons:

No lift

Very disappointed in the location. Not a nice part of town at all. Would not stay again.
Pros:

The room was clean and the beds comfy

Cons:

The street parking was difficult and didn’t feel safe for two women travelling on their own.The internet access was very poor in the room and the reception on the tv kept dropping out. No human contact on arrival or departure- didn’t like it.
