Little dirty but still a good stay
Apart from the skirting in the room being dirty and a fair few stains on the carpets and lounges I enjoyed the stay.
Very cool hotel otherwise and good location. Cocktails in the bar were amazing.

The hotel feels a little tired. Carpets were worn, bathroom in my room was in need of a refresh. Overall, just a little tired and dated.

2 Night stay near CBD and iconic sites
Stay was 2 nights. Staff were professional, friendly and very helpful. Vibrant property and area but our room (loft) was quiet. Great location, Botanical Gardens, Opera House, Harbour Bridge and CBD within walking distance. Bus stop close by for public transport. Easy 20 min Uber to airport. Would stay again and try a different style of room.

Unique hotel. A little out of the way for restaurants but worth it for location on water. Included breakfast was okay but would have liked a couple more options. Staff were great.

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.
