Tried to pull up out the front but zero parking on a busy intersection. Ended up having to park over the road in the Uni and walk back to reception, only to be told I should have gone round the back. Nice if there were signs. Checking in was good but it was so dark I could hardly see to sign in. But, it gets darker upstairs!! Nearly had to feel our way down the corridors to our room. So dark!! Might be all eco friendly but people need to see. Room itself was a good size, the bathroom great and bed comfy. But again, ridiculously dark. Power point under the fridge cabinet impossible to reach, on your knees to get the ironing board, no power point anywhere near the table and again lighting totally inadequate. The furniture looked like it was from an op shop. The dining menu catered to vegans and vegetarians only. If this is an example of eco friendly design, I’m sorry but not for us.

Hello! I stayed here recently for a couples retreat and the hotel treated us amazingly! The girl who took care of us, Rose I think was her name absolutely made our weekend. I told them it was a suprise for my partner and they suprised us with champagne and choclate cake! Along with a hand written card! It was so sweet and made us so so happy. They also provided us with a free upgrade, which was incredible. And they gave us a late checkout. The hotel in itself is incredible, the vibes are there, theyve got a free minibar, free snacks, a tv, a shampoo service, happy hour and free sweets. The hospitality there was incredible, I cannot rate them more highly. Thank you again to Rose and the whole team at Ovolo Nishi, I can't stress this enough, you really gave me one of the best hotel experiences of my life! I also cant recommend this place enough, perfect for couples and you will be blown away by the hospitality!

Pros: Staff, great concept & interior design, free mini bar, cozy atmosphere, onsite parking at reasonable price, nice bathroom amenities Cons: could do with more thorough cleaning, the furnishings feel a bit cheap, the bedding is not the best, the view from the room

Arriving to a gas fire burning in the lobby, live music and Social Hour set the vibe for an enjoyable stay. Who doesn't like a free mini bar, A.H. Beard mattress and bag of goodies? Found free parking up by the National Film and Sound Archive up the hill.

Lovely space and great amenities. Koey was amazing and super accommodating. Loved the free treats and happy hour afternoons. Convenient and quiet location. I would recommend to anyone looking for a nice and comfortable stay in Canberra!
