The mini bar orange juice was very good indeed … as were the in room amenities of slippers, tea, and water fountain! The Coffee ( go to reception to ask for fresh ground coffee ) is novel but inconvenient !! As much as I wanted to try it … I failed in my quest. Lastly : the carpet was dirty and a tad annoying … and the toilet roll holder cover … is very dangerous!

This hotel's interior design is so trendy and cool. I love the aesthetic of the hotel and the rooms. Very pleasant and clean in all corners of the building. Staff were all super friendly, welcoming and accommodating. The only thing that was frustrating is the chrome cast feature on the room TV's is a bit tricky to use. Other hotel's I've stayed at have a great welcome video and navigating the hotel page plus promotion of local restaurants, bars shopping and events seamlessly advertised on their TV guide with access to apps.

We attended our first AO and Ovolo South Yarra was the perfect place for us! Rooms are smaller than the typical but this is a boutique hotel and it delivered as such. We love the well designed rooms, very clean, complete amenities, eco-sustainable options. The staff was incredibly lovely, quality of food at the restaurant was high but reasonably priced. The game room and lounge downstairs was impeccably designed and such a cool place to hang. We never needed to use our car so garaged approximately 2 blocks away and paid only $6/day after the hotel discount. The free trams around the city and in and out of the tennis venues were so convenient. LOVE THIS HOTEL. Will book again for next year’s AO!

The Ovolo South Yarra hotel is a gem. Very cool, tongue-in-cheek arty hotel that doesn’t take itself too seriously but takes great care of its guests. Our reservation included breakfast (excellent) and a bottle of wine (also excellent). We were also upgraded to a Sonny & Cher Suite which was fabulous. Great location in South Yarra with lots within walking distance. We will definitely return to the Ovolo South Yarra if we have the opportunity!

The staff were very welcoming and the property and room interiors are a vibe! My room had a very nice layout, I had a corner room. A few hours into my stay I realised I had reserved and paid for a 'city view' room but had no view of the city. Also, my room was very dusty and the shower still has some left over shampoo/soap on the tile was very nice to see.

A great stay close to everything -we parked the car, caught the train into Melbourne for some shopping and then back for a great meal nearby and an awesome underground bar-what else do you want? Stylish, clean and excellent service-best beds too!
