We used to stay here a lot over previous years. Stopped coming because the prices went up to the crazy sphere. Managed to snag a good deal this time but we were pretty disappointed that all of the cool quirky stuff seems to have disappeared. There was no fun bag of goodies, no free mini bar, not even a welcome drink like there used to be. It really felt like the place had lost its soul. Also, the most uncomfortable lounge we have ever sat on! It’s like someone had removed all of the back cushions so you can not physically sit on the lounge without either your feet not touching the floor or your slouched down. Then there was the ONE coffee pod per person (ie two in total), one peppermint, one free tea bag…there were two earl grey and two English breakfast. Please Ovolo, get your mojo back!

Best Customer Service We Have EVER Had!

The customer service at this hotel was amazing!!! We had issues with our rental car breaking down and they went above and beyond with trying to assist us. We had even checked out and they still continued to help us and were extremely communicative, hospitable, and friendly. The room had a gorgeous view, was very spacious and decorated in a trendy/modern way. The location was about a 20 minute walk to the Sydney Opera House and Botanical Gardens. The onsite restaurants were decorated beautifully and were very welcoming. I give this property a 10 plus out of 10! It was a great find:)

Missing what made Ovolo great.

We have stayed at Ovolo both in Sydney and Melbourne before. But we were sadden that the complimentary minibar is no longer as well as the happy hour is not available to expedia bookings. The parking rate is far too high. These luxuries were the reason we stayed at Ovolo. Sorry, but we probably wont be back.

The Ovolo was a unique hotel that had a lot of great features. There were issues with the washroom. The lighting was insanely poor for putting on makeup. The shower leaked out all over the floor and the shower mat was quite inadequate. These issues, unfortunately, made a great room less than great.
