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.

Situated adjacent to some great restaurants so you don’t have to venture far in the evening. Easy to explore Sydney on foot, as very close to the Botanic gardens and on the waterfront. Quiet. Breakfast is very good but the ‘included’ option is a bit restricted. We would stay again.

Where to start, we stayed with a group of friends for a wedding, across 5 rooms the experience was all identical: - The furniture and rooms are pooly maintained, wood veneers peeling off, dusty, etc - The previously free minibar is now even more overpriced than usual ($10.50 for 150g of peanuts for example) - The tap fell off repeatedly in the shower - The shower has a shelf, that is angled forward so far that any bottles will slide right off - The blackout blinds are in 2 pieces with a large gap, and several inches off the window so they don't block out anything - The staff were short, rude and unhelpful mostly - When going to get a late-ish breakfast (10am) we were offered the buffet for $35, we ordered the accompanying egg and coffee, then when we turned around the buffet was gone. Apparently they started packing up the buffet 20 minutes after we arrived and didn't warn us that we should hurry to get the food in time. They also forgot to make our coffees. - The room service is very overpriced, $30 plus a $5 room service fee for some guacamole (about 1 avocado worth) and half a packet of store bought corn chips, at least the guacamole was decent - The area is just far enough outside the CBD you'll be paying $30 for an uber to get in there, or walking quite a distance; alternatively the bus out the front was ok - There's really not much near the hotel, it's in a little dead zone just near the inner city
