It suited us for a one night stay, although desk/ bar lid was too slopy so that you really couldn't rest anything on it. Light switches were a challenge, bathroom lights dudnt seem ro work autonomously, only with bedside light switch.

Liked: Cleanliness
While the dim lighting was obviously intended to create a particular atmosphere, it did make navigation and access awkward. Once in the room, found casting to tv didnt work (no sound) and reception for normal channels patchy. One teabag per person was also a little disappointing. Left the hotel for a run in the morning and was back hours before check out time only to find room / access keys deactivated. Location made for easy walk into city but access by car not straightforward due to road closures for light rail construction-which wasn't mentioned on any check-in or booking sites. Overall, was ok but didn't love it.

Very modern artsy hotel with lots of extras
Not quite what I’m used too as in room ambience very dark moody hotel. Service is wonderful we complained about our room being noisy and they were quick to change us to an atrium room which feels very dungeon like but we slept well.such a shame as the view of the lake was amazing in other room but right on busy highway. I did ask to be away from highway in my check in notes, but alas not heard. Had a few issues with our tv but they came and fixed it and brought us lattes for our trouble. I have never been to a hotel where they actually follow through with your complaints and try very hard to fix. Even a quirky card and bottle of champagne in our room to say sorry for all the troubles we were having. Free candy at check in was quirky and was great to munch on for dessert. Didn’t try the vegetarian restaurant for dinner but had guacamole at the bar which was amazing. All in all I think most people would enjoy this hotel but it’s not for me I do prefer rooms with a view that are not noisy.

Disappointing return visit
This was a return trip & it was disappointing. The usual Ovolo experience wasn’t there. Check-in was very lacklustre with no information & just passed a key. Not even instructions on which side of the hotel our rooms were on so we knew which elevator to go to. Breakfast has gone down hill in quality and choice, and the room smelt musty & mouldy. A big drop in standard since our last visit. We won’t book there again.

Lovely but noisy
Ovolo Nishi offers well appointed rooms with very comfortable beds and attractive decor. Unfortunately the Original Sun room I was allocated was just above a highway and noisy for all but 5 hours, impacting my sleep quality. Coffee and teas provided, and room service available. There is a restaurant in the building.
