Great business stay
Pros:

Had dinner at Monster - butternut ravioli and sourdough on the side and it was a good serving size and very delicious. Just what I wanted.

Love love the shower and bathroom - lovely

Cons:

Lighting in rooms and hallways is a bit dark... and elevators also. More lights would be nice.

Cosy, comfortable, and I would love to come back
Pros:

I liked the ambiance of the darker lights, more relaxing that bright lights that usually light hotels. The staff were really friendly and helpful. Excellent breakfast. I would totally come back for a longer stay.

Cons:

My room was on the 1st floor closer to the highway so a little noisy during the peak traffic, but hey, someone has to have that room lol. The bathroom mirror needed a brighter light for doing make up.

Fabulous architecture and ambience
Pros:

Ovolo is usually my favourite place to stay in Canberra. I love the ambience and cosy atrium rooms for a great nights sleep, so quiet. Admittedly since the changes to management, I miss the free drink in happy hour for hotel guests, and the free bar fridge in the rooms, it was so fun before getting the snack pack and all the perks. It still is very attractive though, unbeatable ambience and architecture. It's not as lively now, and the restaurant which is stunning is not used for breakfasts or dinners anymore. Sorry about that!

Cons:

Sadly the fireplace in the restaurant/bar/lounge area was not working. This is a major draw card for me in winter, it was even a bit cold in that area. I feel like there should have been a complimentary warming drink & snack! So disappointing for our two night getaway, but obviously a temporary inconvenience awaiting repair.

Pros:

Terrific hotel with very comfortable rooms.

Cons:

Only 1 water in room. Minor issue but I would have thought 2 water bottles would be standard.
Staff very busy downstairs so service was a little slow.
