Excellent hotel! Staff are super friendly and helpful and make you feel welcome every time you walk in. Lolly bar, coffee, minibar and nightly drinks all included and a wonderful extra which makes this one of best stays in Melbourne. Location to the Princess theatre was also great as as we were seeing a show. Back into the room not 1minute after leaving our seats. Would definitely stay again! Only small downside is that parking is not that convenient. Not bad, just a bit of a walk. Not enough to deter me from staying here again though!

The location is perfect for a Melbourne weekend getaway. The restaurants nearby are fabulous and the hotel is in the perfect location to see a show at the Princess Theatre. It's just a few minutes walk to trams and trains so getting around is easy. The staff at the Ovolo were fun and helpful. Overall our stay was hassle free and fun. We will be back on our next trip to Melbourne.

I loved the access to coffee machine 24/7, the location was excellent, walking distance to great restaurants like Hochi Mama, great bars like Longsong, really comfy beds and amazing shower. Ideally would have gym on site not on Lonsdale Street and access to Netflix/Stan/Binge.

Hey Amanda, thanks so much for leaving feedback! We love our location too! It'd be nice to have a gym onsite however we're just a bit too small for one! Our Apple TV also access' Netflix/Stan/Binge so I do apologise that you weren't able to access it. We hope to see you again though!

The staff were very accommodating when requesting a late checkout, unfortunately due to staffing shortages the room wasn’t ready upon arrival. The free mini bar and ‘happy hour’ is a great idea and we’ll received. Although the room was fairly clean and tidy, mould in the silicone in the shower was easily noticeable and somewhat off putting.

Hi Laura, thank you for taking the time for leaving a review! We do apologise the room wasn't ready on arrival - we're usually very good at having the room ready for arrival. We love our free perks too! Thanks for letting us know about the bathroom - we'll get right on it! Take care and we hope to see you again!

You can’t get a better location for the Princess Theatre, Chinatown and laneway bars and restaurants.
