Ovolo Sydney, Woolloomooloo

Quite different to your normal expectations of an hotel, in a good sense. Location is good and the building has an interesting history, they have managed to keep some of the original industrial equipment incorporated in the present setting. Lovely area for walks all around the location. You will be spoilt for choice with all the local restaurants and cafes.

We had an excellent stay at the Ovolo Sydney! We organised a last minute birthday trip for my wife and daughter. In addition to a fabulous facility and room, the staff were beyond excellent and organised cake to greet us upon entering- such a great surprise and really put the cherry on top of a fantastic stay. I really appreciated the touch by the staff and will recommend this hotel to friends and family.

We had a long stay over Christmas and New Year during our visit to Australia. What a fantastic stay!! Location - perfect on Cowper Wharf - 2 minutes from the Botanical Gardens on one side (this was our favourite morning walk), the Navy shipyard on the otherside. 15 mins walk from the Cathedral and the city centre. 10 mins from Potts Point and only 5 mins in a taxi from Surry Hills and Circular Quay. Rooms - very spacious, clean with everything you need - mini bar, kettle, ironing board etc. The bed was very large and comfortable. We had a bath and stand alone shower which was ideal (room 312) Staff - all were excellent, attentive (hello from everyone you walked past), Front Desk very helpful, Cleaning very good and Breakfast and Bar staff really good. Can't mention all by name, but 2 really looked after me with special coffee needs!! Ana with her Freddo Espresso and Liam with his Mont Blanc - thanks guys. Overall a faultless stay and can highly recommend The Ovolo Woolloomooloo.

Ovolo provided a trendy and cosy stay with excellent service. The city views from the room and the comfortable king bed were the highlight of the stay. The free buffet breakfast was a great addition to our stay which included a wide variety of options, cooked fresh with quality ingredients. The waiter and bar staff were very friendly and helpful. Despite being close to the city, we had trouble finding Ubers so we ended up getting a taxi to the airport. Ovolo does offer a shuttle service to the airport, however we were quoted $140. Our taxi fare was $45 which is a good option if you are on a budget. If you don’t like walking far, it’s good to keep in mind the proximity of the hotel to the city centre (about a 20 minute walk) although there are buses. It is a 10-15 minute walk to the trendy cafes and restaurants of Potts Point. We did encounter quite a bit of noise from a nearby pub so earplugs are recommended if you are a light sleeper. The room was clean enough, however the exhaust fan in the bathroom was in good need of a clean. Ovolo is perfect if you aren’t venturing out to the city much and are only staying for a few nights. If you are staying a week or more, a hire car is definitely recommended.

We had a wonderful stay! The staff made our experience extra special – a big thank you to Jordan, Alina, and Shakeeb at reception, and Deepa from the breakfast team. The double deluxe loft suite was spacious with a lovely sunrise view, super comfy bed and pillows, and nice touches like bath salts and quality tea. The building’s architecture and quiet location made it all the more relaxing, with plenty of food delivery options nearby. Extras we loved: Chromecast for music/shows, unlimited barista-made coffee at breakfast, a great pool and gym, and reliable A/C. Would definitely recommend!
