Great location, big room
Pros:

The room is fantastic and the location on the proximity of the botanic gardens means the opera house is but a short walk away. If you like swimming then there is an outdoor 50m pool on the ocean a short walk away.

Cons:

Breakfast room. We opted to go to the Italian cafe over the road for more daylight and better coffee. The hotel's breakfast area is a bit dated and buffet style.

was not as good as usual --- we should have been consulted as to room type
Pros:

check-in staff were friendly & efficient but nobody helped us bring in our luggage from the street as usually has happened on arrival in our previous stays at Ovolo. the breakfast staff were excellent and Matt makes superb coffee. the lady on recption --- sorry I gorget her name [Jah????] was very kind and helped us get our luggage to the car. she was excellent

Cons:

we asked for a room with a walk-in bathroom --- NOT a room for handicapped guests. we are NOT handicapped -- we just don't like showers over a bath tub --- and we have explained this point numerous times before.
I wish someone would make a note about this because we are quite frequent clients.

we didn't like at all the cramped space in the shower recess caused by it having a bench seat [for handicapped use] --- which we did not need nor want. it spoiled the comfort of the shower. the bathroom was very small and had minimal space for toiletries etc -- we have NEVER experienced this before at Ovolo in our frequent previous stays. also the drain from the hand basin in our room was blocked, and the basin took a very long time to drain each time we used it. this is unacceptable for a hotel of the standard and price of Ovolo

Cons:

Disappointed in every way. I came here to rest, but there was unadvised construction happening from the early morning, it was crazy. It made it impossible to relax and enjoy my stay.
The coffee machine wasn’t working, and the sofa bed for my son wasn’t prepared upon arrival. Overall, it felt like the staff were doing me a favour rather than providing proper service.
Honestly, I’ve stayed in many Ovolo properties before, and this one was disappointing on every level
