Fantastic service, the staff are amazing and the food is superb. The breakfast had everything you could think off too. We had an amazing time so close to everything with a view of the marina and centre point tower. Rooms were very clean and inviting with a nice over size bathroom. Thanks Ovolo team, for everything ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Stayed here in August and found the experience disappointing. The room was freezing cold, with the heating not working, and I had to sleep in a jumper just to get through the night. The hand shower head was broken with less than half the nozzles working, and even though I mentioned it to reception, nothing was done. I’ll be raising the heating issue as well, but I don’t expect much to change. Breakfast was average at best – scrambled eggs were bland and tasteless, and the bacon was barely cooked. The bathtub was also unhygienic, with short curly hairs left in it on arrival. This hotel has so much potential to be a great place, but the lack of maintenance and attention to detail really lets it down. Sadly, I won’t be staying here again.

Nice hotel with a great room setup, we upgraded to a suite and the room was good and the breakfast very nice. Staff were pleasant too. The hotel is very quirky in a good way although we were disappointed they took the gym out of action for the length of our stay.

Where to start! We booked the hotel because it looked cool and had good reviews but ‘cool’ was an understatement- the hotel was freezing we had to sit in our overcoats when having breakfast or in communal areas! You could literally see your breath when awaiting lifts in the lobby! Sydney in July is cooler, obviously but no where did it tell us before we went that due to it being a historic building there is no heating other than lamps and patio style gas heaters! Even the reception staff wore coats the whole time we were there! Safety was also a concern as there are no stairs, again due to the historic aspect so if there was a fire how would we get out! Lifts took an eternity as it was but couldn’t be used during a fire if one arose! Breakfast was a joke- service was so slow, we got in the habit of ordering coffee as soon as we were seated but still it would take a minimum of 15 minutes before it arrived. Not once did we have coffee with our breakfast! People were complaining all the time! There was a coffee machine but it didn’t work the whole week we were there! The buffet was lukewarm at best probably due to the lack of heat in the breakfast area. The rooms were very small but we loved the big windows and decor and beds were comfortable. Barely any storage, one drawer under the tv and a rail; so only good for an overnight visit where you can live out of the suitcase! You have to call 9 for anything you need even housekeeping and it was answered only 50%of the time due to reception being so busy. Not their fault but frustrating for guests. We travel a lot and typically stay in Marriott or Hilton this was considered a luxury property but the service as ok at best and the essentials in my opinion weren’t covered (heat/stairs). Suffice to say we would not ho back and wouldn’t recommend to a friend.

Great location, easy walking distance for everywhere. We stayed in Deluxaroo Loft suite, room wasn’t the cleanest, fair amount of dust all around the room, felt like it could do with a good deep clean. The pillows were great and the bed was okay. Hotel was mostly quiet except for a wedding that had booked the bar area for their party, we were told they only had half the area but they’d taken over the entire space so you couldn’t get a drink, not great when Saturday night was the most expensive night of 3 night stay. Reception staff were good but bar staff less so. Overall it was okay and average at best, I wouldn’t be rushing back to stay here.
