Have stayed at ovolo a few times now. First room I was allocated to the air-conditioner was not working and on a hot 30° day I waited to unpack whilst I waited for the air-conditioner to start working, I ended up having to ring reception and they were very quick to move me to the wharf side, which was in my opinion of the better side anyway, and had a brand-new air-conditioning system. I will note though that the air-conditioner appears to be on a timer of some sort and continuously would turn off at all hours, I would only be aware of this because the room would always start heating up. I remember the bar used to be quite a popular place to go back in the day but while I visited it Dead and no atmosphere. There are many other restaurants and pubs/bars around though in walking distance. The first night parking cost me $90 valet as I was coming from Canberra and not too familiar with the area I felt that was the best option, but on the second evening I managed to get a car park untimed right out the front. I loved the little one bedroom two story loft. The downstairs lounge room had everything I needed for comfort for a busy few days of work. I ordered in a few times and the food was all spectacular. I never got to see the pool or much else as I was just too busy. I will definitely stay again though.

We recently stayed in a Double Double room at Ovolo Woolloomooloo and had a mixed experience. The room itself is that’s lounging on the daybed or using the dining table. The bathroom was a great size with a very cool design, but the lighting left much to be desired. It’s definitely not where you’d want to be doing your makeup, and in fact, the general lighting in the room could use an upgrade or more fixtures overall. On the plus side, there is a full-length mirror, which is surprisingly rare in many hotels and very much appreciated. The beds and pillows, however, were not particularly comfortable, which was a little disappointing. The view from our room was nice, and I loved the shutters and door that allowed fresh air in, but being on the road end of the building was less ideal. If you stay, I’d recommend requesting a room further down the building for a more pleasant outlook. As a smaller hotel, room service ends at 10pm. Unfortunately, we came back after an event to find no food available. While Uber Eats filled the gap, it would be great if Ovolo offered even a limited late-night menu. The staff were consistently polite and made both check-in and check-out smooth and easy. Breakfast had a solid variety of hot and cold foods, pastries, and the option to order extras directly, which was a nice touch. My biggest frustration of the stay was the valet parking. At $95, I expected secure, undercover parking. Instead, cars a
