Overall, a fun, unique stay with plenty of personality. I really enjoyed it and will definitely be returning! ⚡
Pros:

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the design and thoughtful details at Hotel Electric! I loved the quirky features and stylish touches that give the hotel so much character.

Cons:

I had read reviews mentioning noise, so I came prepared with earplugs, which worked perfectly for me. The location is fantastic, within easy walking distance of wine bars, restaurants and the Geelong Performing Arts Centre (GPAC), making it an ideal base for a night out in the city.

The staff were very friendly and responsive, and the complimentary coffee at Baltic Cafe was a lovely bonus.

Loved the room.
Cons:

Interaction with staff was not up to my usual standard. I had unanswered questions. I would have liked the personal touch of a meet and greet rather than internet instructions and a keypad.

Overall apart from a complicated after hours check process. A pretty good experience
Pros:

Comfy bed, Clean Linen and Towels

Cons:

Room #14
Hair on both bedsie tables.
Air Con fan direction feature broken. Filters and main unit needs to be cleaned.
A small couch would be a great addition to the room.
Online Check in is complicated. Fortunately Other customers advised how to contact staff for after hours check in. Phone call not answered. But a return phone call was forth coming quickly

Terrible place to sleep - loud club, bright skylight and hard bed
Pros:

Easy self check in and check out

Cons:

Very loud. There is a club somewhere nearby and the music and thudding base kept us up. Past 1am on a Wednesday night/Thursday morning and still very loud. Room also very bright (even at night) due to the large skylight with no curtains able to be closed. They have tried painting over the skylight but it’s all peeling off. Bed hard and uncomfortable. Hot water takes forever to come through.

Easily accessible, but you're gonna need to set an alarm if you need to be up at a specific time.
Pros:

Accessible after hours. All we had to do was enter the combination they gave us, and there was an electronic key in a key safe just outside our rooms, so it didn't really matter if we arrived late.

Cons:

There were no windows, so we had no means of keeping track of the time, so we can either sleep in until 10AM feeling like you woke up at 6AM or wake up at 6AM feeling like you slept in until 10AM.

The bathroom didn't have any towel racks or hooks, so nowhere to hang our towels or our spare change of clothes.

Room nice, lack of service not so great.
Pros:

Room and decor nice, bathroom excellent.

Cons:

Hard to get in as code didn’t work, was then given same room as another guest. When I finally got the correct room, the kettle was broken and there was no staff to respond to my request for a replacement. Just wanted a cuppa after a stressful day!
