Fab hotel and location
We thought this was a fab hotel, quirky in style but was well maintained. Great use of an old warehouse and well designed rooms. We had a King suite which was very spacious with the option of bath and shower. Breakfast is buffet style which suited us, you pay extra for bacon, eggs etc. Bar is well stocked but is not open past 10pm. The area of Woolloomooloo is ideal for food and drink, easy walking through botanical gardens to Sydney Opera house and more. Downside to hotel is states a free mini bar this has stopped, they do stock your bar and room with goodies but you are not aware of what each item Costs, ideally they need a price menu. Another good point was free washing available in the laundry room ideal for those like us travelling around with limited clothing. We would stay here again, Thank you Ovolo

Building was very cool and unique. Location is great but there were NO food options nearby after ten pm on a Sat night. Hotel restaurant closed at 945 and wouldnt even serve us a drink on arrival. Breakfast was generous for the cost but slow and a bit discombobulated with service. No mimosas before 10am which is a bit of a downer on holiday. Bed was very comfortable but bathroom lighting was terrible. Ac didn’t work and the fridge was leaving. Mini bar apparently used to be complimentary but is now very overpriced. Luckily there is a liquor store just across the street. Overall loved the property quirkiness and design, loved the staff, but was lacking in terms of being called a 5*.

The hotel is in a great location but it really is tired. It’s a big warehouse type of property and half of it is residential so it’s kind of a strange vibe as the hotel sort of just ‘fits in’. The rooms are quite dirty and we had the pleasure of having cockroaches in our room. There were also quite a few dead cockroaches in the hallway leading to our room. The cleaning was mediocre to say the least. Towels were rarely changed and when they did change them we’d be lucky to get one each! Breakfast was the only saving grace. Would definitely NOT stay here again. Much better places to stay for the money

A unique building in a good location. But one of the most unnecessarily noisy hotels I have ever stayed in - and they seem almost proud of it. Played very loud muzak throughout the day. This would have been annoying enough, but on my first night it was still playing and clearly audible in the rooms at 2.30am. Loud music and screaming from a party all through Sunday afternoon , again clearly audible in the rooms, was the icing on the cake.

Great location and attention to detail
We loved this place! Not only is it in a great location in one of the most wonderful cities in the world, it was full of little touches to delight us every day. The staff was exceptional, willing to go the extra mile in any way they could. Cam checked us in made sure we had everything we could possibly need and remembered us throughout our five day stay, always greeting us and inquiring about plans and how the trip was going. He helped us with parking at Engie with food recommendations and reservations and was just a friendly face for us. The room was comfy and just the right amount of quirky. We loved the candy bar and the free retro video games. Cocktails and coffee at the bar were delicious and quick and did I mention friendly!?! Location was wonderful and we walked easily to everything we wanted to explore in Sydney. They are near the botanic gardens and a modern art museum so often our days started with these! We loved the quiet, historic wharf location and would come back to this place every time we visit Sydney.

Sydney Fabulous!
We loved our experience & stay at Ovolo. The history of structure, the location for walking around along water plus getting around was easy. We had loft room which was so fabulous! It felt like a little city apartment. The staff was always so kind and helpful. Would definitely come back.

Unusual hotel rebuilt on part of an old wharf which it shares with restaurants and very high end condos. Very nice staff. Good location just outside Sydney CBD which is walkable but you must use GPS maps as the area is very hilly and a freeway with an overpass and water blocks most direct access but many paths exist. Uber readily available and cheap. Rooms are big with good views but have no dressers/very little storage space. Breakfast is very expensive but available across the street at a reasonable price. Overall a very nice experience except the minimal storage space in the room.
