What guests think

At Belmercer Motel, travellers consistently highlight friendly, accommodating staff, very clean rooms, and a convenient location near Geelong’s waterfront, CBD and transport, with easy on-site parking making short stays and ferry or rail connections straightforward.

Some guests, however, report street or rail noise depending on room position, plus dated furnishings or minor maintenance issues such as door locks, fixtures, or small TVs. A few mention unreliable Wi-Fi, limited reception hours or delayed bond refunds, and the lack of on-site dining or extra leisure facilities. Overall, this is a practical, no-frills base for short stays in Geelong.

The lift does NOT have an internal door, after getting trapped in such for the second time the lift does not meet Australian Standards and should not be used or available to customers

We enjoyed our overnight stay in Geelong at the Belmercer Hotel. The staff were lovely and accomodating. Our room was lovely and warm upon arrival. Fresh towels and linen all round. The facilites were well layed out. Parking was a breeze. A short 15 min walk down to the waterfront and beach makes this Motel perfectly situatied for dining and entertainment. Would definitely stay again. Geelong and the Belmercer have a lot to offer. Given we were bringing an unregistered car back to Tassie with us and everything was organised last minute, the Staff at Belmercer were very supportive upon arrival and very informative. Would not choose anywhere else to stay. Fantastic guys!

Was happy with the room and staff. Was worried about height into carpark with vehicle carrying camping gear.on the roof, but it wasnt a problem at all. Also thought it may have been noisy with trains at the rear of the property and dual lane road out front, but was pleasantly surprised.

Property was close to the spirit for our departure next morning. It was a clean and spacious room. Shower was great. Bed was uncomfortable and the lift only worked going up to our room had to take the stairs down. Was only one floor but for elderly people a hassle. Good value for money.

The motel is small and friendly, excellent parking, all necessities and spotlessly clean. The proprietor went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed. Close to rail and the port. Would recommend it to anyone.

Easy check in, room is as it is advertised. Bed uncomfortable (though is a normal hotel bed) Easy walk to restaurants No additional facilities such as pool, bbq area- again it is as advertised. Overall for a one night stay the hotel is as you read and book. Nothing spectacular but is a clean, nice rooms, with friendly staff.

If you just want somewhere to sleep for one night the bed is comfy and unit reasonably clean (apart from a big clump of hair in shower drain). No cold water in fridge and no jug/container to put water in. No face washers, no pool. One biscuit portion between 2 people. Value for money extremely poor. Friendly receptionist, good location close to esplanade/restaurants etc.

Rooms

Rooms are simple and functional, with comfortable beds and some spacious layouts or bay views, but decor can feel dated and maintenance niggles occur. Noise varies by room (street or rail side), and Wi-Fi/TV reliability can be inconsistent.

It was a great place, close to the beach/city, room was awesome. Reception lady was lovely, We just struggled to sleep from noise. The road out front never stopped. Being a saturday night probably didnt help. And we had a street facing room. Prehaps the rooms at the back were quiter.

The Belmercer is rated 4 star on hotels.com, but is 2 star at best. The rooms are dated, the bed is comfy, but other furniture is old and not suitable, such as the desk chair which is wooden chair. The carpet is marked, tiles chipped in the bathroom and for an average establishment, there should be a second lock on the door for security in the room. No food on site, and no cafe next door for breakfast. Not suitable for work, and difficult to access with the median strip on the road meaning the driveway can only be accessed from that side of the road. Disappointed that the info provided was misleading for this booking.

Safe environment, but other guests easily heard from car park below . Internet didn’t work for password provided . Reported to staff mid afternoon but heard nothing back for duration of stay. Bathroom very generous size and clean . Room on the smaller side. Basic supplies provided which is fine but little pack of biscuits a bit stale . Fridge and microwave needs a good cleaning. Otherwise a good stay with food places nearby for meals . Bed very comfortable.

While the staff were extremely welcoming, the motel backs onto the rail line which is very noisy at peak times. While it is a close walk to the bay, it is quite a walk from the major shopping centre and shops. Taking transport would be better. The rooms are in need of upgrading, bathroom was newly renovated but there was no hair conditioner or face cloth.

Staff were LOVELY. Not many clients but I was put at the front room facing busy road - opposite a motorbike shop that needs all its security lights on all night - venetian curtains that dont join and let lots of light in - loud. Plus 100 bins under my window for the bin truck to collect at 5am. NO SLEEP - on a business trip when I need sleep this was just not good.

Stayed for two-nights for a business trip (two rooms booked) - Arrived at 2PM neither room was ready. Was told to come back after 3PM. - Both of the rooms were not serviced (bed not made, rubbish not removed, coffee/tea not re-filled). - Location adjacent to the rail and highway at the back of the property, resulted in a constant "thumping" noise. Understand that it can't be avoided, but definitely not good if you are a light sleeper. Talked to the owner on the morning and she did apologize for the rooms not being ready or serviced.
