Overnight stay for a family catch up.
Pros:

We have stayed many times as we have family living in the beautiful wharf that the hotel fronts. Locations is great for walkers and plenty of great restaurants downstairs for dining. Unfortunately we never get time to use all the facilities Ovolo have to offer.

Fantastic location, modern hotel and spacious rooms
Pros:

Location is absolutely fantastic; close to many bars and restaurants and a short walk around Mrs Macquarie's Chair, which was great at sunrise.

I was upgraded to a loft room on arrival - very spacious! Lolly bar was a unique touch in the lobby and in room sound system was amazing. The staff were pleasant and the coffee shop right out the front knows how to make a good coffee.

Cons:

Bathroom was a little unclean - perhaps a little worn / tired, but again, spacious with a large bath and great shower.

Wooloomooloo is cool
Pros:

We have had a great time here at the Ovolu Sydney. All the staff from front desk to restaurant bar have been friendly and helpful..
We loved our room overlooking the wharf toward the museum of contemporary art.
The Neighbourhood here and location is fantastic for walking anywhere you wanna go in downtown Sydney. Thank you all Ovolo Sydney for making this a memorable one time lifetime trip to Australia for us!

Great place to stay if you want a few days in Sydney CBD.
Pros:

Ease of check in was a big plus and staff were professional and friendly and helped us to the room. Great view across to the naval base the hotel facilities were very good, breakfast was available in the cafe and it was lovely. The room was quirky in a good way and comfortable.

Cons:

Perhaps we were unlucky but the section we were in (3 sets of 2 rooms) was being refurbished, which I understand has to be done but perhaps don't let out the suites within that section because the drilling/vibrating and sawing started at 7am and was on the common wall that the bed abutted. Then as we tried to escape the noise with a coffee on the window seat the window cleaner appeared so we had to close the curtains, no big deal but still a bit off putting with workmen next door and outside, not sure who got the biggest surprise!!

Fun hotel but please renovate the bathrooms or I doubt we will be back
Pros:

Location, great restaurants and pubs nearby, comfortable bed

Cons:

The bathroom. We have stayed in every room category except the rock stars and all the bathrooms are tiny, totally unmanageable, and some still have shower over bath, they really let this hotel down
