A seriously good, modern hotel”
This hotel had everything that I wanted and none of the crap that I don't want. Super clean, a very comfy bed that WASN'T two singles pushed together (whoever came up with that idea should be shot). Complimentary minibar and WIFI. Well designed bathroom with nice products. Super friendly staff that helped us out when we arrived early and needed a place to get changed. The wine at the bar was good. The location was awesome and a 1 min walk to the lightrail. The building itself was a grand old wool store with huge wooden beams and lovely brickwork. And the price was very good. Air conditioning was nice and cold (but warm when we first arrived as it hadn't been on because it is programmed to turn off when unoccupied). I had a very good stay and highly recommend to friends and couples.

Can’t go past Ovolo!”
This is the second stay at Ovolo 1888 and again I was wowed by the place. The staff are so friendly and obliging, the location is great and the rooms are so well equipped. This hotel thinks of everything with nice touches wherever you look. Free minibar, Alexa, phone charging points and super comfortable beds. The location is great too with Darling Harbour in your doorstep and a convenience store close by. I will be back next trip to Sydney

Tick Tick Tick in my Showbox”
Hotel was easy to find and parking was close and convenient to the hotel. Reception Staff were very polite, friendly and informative in relation to our room type called the "Shoebox". Our room although compact had EVERYTHING we needed, everything was clean and well maintained and the freee mini bar was so very welcomed especially when we needed a snack at midnight and a cold fizzy drink the next morning after a big night out. Value for money and close to transport and Sydney's attractions. Definitely would stay again.

Six star all the way!”
This place is amazing. I really love, love, LOVE their business model. Our room was small but extremely functional - it was obvious that quite a bit of thought had gone in to it. I appreciated the refillable pump packs of shampoo, conditioner, body wash, body lotion and hand wash rather than the small, wasteful packs you usually get. Everything in the mini bar (including all alcohol, chips, nuts and confectionary) was free and who doesn't like a freebie????? There was a choice of a buffet or hot breakfast and excellent coffee. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It was only 5 minutes walk from Darling Harbour and 10 minutes walk from the Lyric Theatre. On top of that, there were jars of lollies around the hotel which you could help yourself to. We will definitely be staying there again.

My stay was great. The room was clean and nice, free minibar and some snacks. All the staff were really friendly and helpful. The daily breakfast from the a la carte menu was delicious. The location was very convenient and Darling Harbour was just a short walk away. I would definitely stay here again as well recommend it to my family and friends.

Perfect Stay for NYE”
It costs more than usual to stay on New Year's Eve, yet everything's worth the price! The location is a few minutes' walk to Darling Harbour, and nice cafes and Coles are close to the hotel as well. Every staff is welcoming, cheerful, and friendly. Amenities provided are joyful surprises. Impressive and memorable - we'd love to choose this hotel to stay again!

Wow factor is huge!”
I loved my stay at Ovolo 1888 - this property is just beautiful with so many features the old guard hotels could learn from. The restaurant was excellent with some lovely wines and great meals. I am very disappointed that my stay was only for one night. I look forward to heading back another time.

Fantastically located minutes from Darling Harbour and easy to get everywhere around Sydney from here. The bar is basically the lobby and guests are very friendly which was nice as a solo traveller. Rooms are charming and trendy - I would certainly stay here again!

Funky and friendly hotel”
Loved our overnight stay at Ovolo 1888. The staff at reception were excellent and super friendly. The design of the hotel is unique and very cool. The downstairs bar and restaurant area is also a great place to hang out. We were fortunate to get an upgrade to a loft room which was spacious, modern and really well designed with everything thought of. The location was great also as it was just behind Darling Harbour so an easy walk there or around Pyrmont. We couldnt fault it and would happily stay there again. Thanks Ovolo 1888

Trendy hotel with nice extra touches”
Great location for darling harbour and convention centre. Nice little touches like the free unlimited minibar, Alexa, iPad, and sulfate free shampoo/conditioner. Mister Percy is a great restaurant (food much better than most tourist traps around Darling Harbour) which is conveniently in the lobby. They also have a shower in the lobby bathroom that can be used post AM checkout, to freshen up before an evening flight. Would have appreciated a firmer pillow - those provided were too soft for my liking. Overall a great short stay in Sydney.

Hi Belinda, Yeah that you loved Mister P. We are so happy you liked you your stay with us. We do have firmer pillows as well so please let us know the next time you are coming so that we can have them at the ready! Cheers Tanya

OVERNIGHT STAY ”
i booked the Ovolo as we were going to watch a show at The Star. Its only down the road from the casino and sits behind Darling Harbour. Great Location as it was easy to drive and park straight across the road from the hotel. I had stayed at their Wolloommooloo Hotel before and loved it. So its the same great set up but on a smaller scale. The staff are wonderful too. Would recommend to couples and friends, maybe not to families with small kids...
