Funky hotel with lots of rock memorabilia. Free breakfast, wine and beer was appreciated, free laundromat and sweets likewise. Slightly noisy in our first floor room from traffic on a busy street outside. Blinds did not work in our room so we were transferred to another one which turned out to be somewhat smaller. All members of staff were extremely polite and friendly.

Great location, modern comfortable room with excellent bathroom. Restaurants and bar look inviting but we didn't have time to try them this trip. Secure parking a 5 min walk off site.

This was my first stay at the Ovolo South Yarra, I have since stayed at this property again, as well as another Ovolo hotel in Brisbane - which should tell you all you need to know. Friendly staff, convenient location, great amenities. You get your money's worth for a clean and comfortable hotel. Modern and well designed, Ovolo suited my needs. The room service is useful if you're too tired too go out, but you are spoilt for choice in the surrounding area and can eat better for less. Have and would stay again!

Overall the staff were lovely and the shared areas of the property were beautiful. I didn’t receive my VIP benefits in room, the quilt had some stains on it, there was no robe, slippers or tote bag in the room despite them being included on the price list within the room.
