Prior to arrival no one answered the phone while trying over 3 hours to confirm or booking , Great looking building but the lack of service at front desk check in along with the terrible effort within the room ie furnishing is all disappointing , we have stayed in both the hotel and apartment style at the Ovolo Canberra We have recently also stayed at the QT hotel across the road ... both deserve a poor review We will give the Hyatt a go next time

Great place, easy access to Parkes express way, but comes at a cost of the noise when outside. Inside is quite though. The views are magical, and the venue amazing. Front desk staff were awesome too.

Overall, it was an excellent stay however reception need to be a little more helpful with parking options. Being told all guest parking was reserved and that all that was available was public parking which was all taken by the time we arrived was a little stressful. Especially given we were staying as part of my wedding the best day and had a tonne of gear to carry up to the room. Luckily we circled for a good 40 mins and found a public car park in the hotel underground parking. Suggest some kind of explicit notice to say guests to book parking prior to stay on all websites that offer accomodation at the Ovolo/Nishi apartments
