    no air conditioning, very noisy, room was stuffy, bed was overly soft and uncomfortable, hot. the only way you could cool the room was to open the balcony door, the street noise was unbearable.

    the location was good

    Not worth the money, rooms do not look as advertised and difficult to access rooms and amenities.

    The apartment had about 100 stairs which were great for photos but terrible for getting in and out and even going from bedroom to lounge/kitchen or bedroom to bedroom. Literally nothing is on the same level and it's truly awful. The room looked absolutely nothing like the images used to advertise, it was lacking with uncomfortable chairs and a tiny couch compared to what was in their photos this was disappointing. I had issues with reception not informing me about the car parking situation in their own building and ended up with a fine that they refuse to get back to me about. Entering the rooms is an issue, we had 4 people staying and only one room key which was a physical key but you needed a key card to access the elevators. It was a pain the whole time. I would have expected to be paying far less than what they are charging for experience of staying here.

    The view was beautiful, location was nice but not ideal, amenities within the apartment are good but not easily accessible.

    No air conditioning. The room gets surprisingly warm very quickly. The fact that reception is on the other side of the bar, walking through with bags and things is really uncomfortable with plenty of people in there.

    The design aspect was really intriguing.

    This was our first time staying in the apartments not the hotel rooms. We loved the idea of the lake view. it was a great view but the noise from the road below was really amplified and we found the apartment way too warm for sleeping. the solution - to open the balcony door - meant very loud noise and therefore we were left with the option of leaving the door open when we were out. overall, it was uncomfortable and not what we have come to expect from the brand.

    Ovolo Nishi is a wonderful concept and a fabulous location. The experience in the foyer and the hotel rooms is really stylish.

    The rooms really felt quiet dirty. Walls were dirty, bathroom dirty, mirror etc. Just didn’t feel nice and fresh and not for the money either. We were told to help ourselves to the free mini bar and items in the fridge, it was empty. Ordered a cocktail to the room. It was gross and over priced.

    The location was great as was the lolly bar and everything looked great in reception.

    Furniture was dusty, bed was undersized and soft, couch is tiny and almost unusable, rug needs to be replaced, seems like it needs an update and ovolo are cashing in on the good name that Hotel Hotel established without putting in much effort.

    Staff were nice, room is a good size, room service was good.

    Extremely disapointed with the vegan menu. We live in a country where the majority of people eat meat. We like to get room service and eat at the restaurant when we treat ourselves to stay at an expensive hotel. We ended up having to find alternative food which was really inconvenient . I’m certain the majority of Australians eat meat, so I found it shocking that the menu was vegetarian only. I think when we booked, we should have been warned about the rediculous vegetation only menu. The other problem is that there is no air conditioning. We left the door open to try get some cool air in at night but the noise from the motorway was too loud. It was a very uncomfortable sleep. I would expect these things in a budget hotel. We were charged $750 per night for this below average stay We booked the room for 2 nights but decided to leave after the first night, so it cost us $1500 for 1 night of discomfort

    The design of the restaurant and reception was nice

    I booked this apartment for my parents 50th wedding anniversary & from what they have told me it wasn’t the most enjoyable stay, Looking over main road, flashing lights in room, made it really hard to have a decent night sleep, got stuck in the elevator for 5 to 10 minutes, photos of room on the net did not reflect what they got, it was very clean though & staff were lovely

    Mountain views were lovely,
