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.

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.
