Hotel Ovolo 1888 Darling Harbour, Sydney

Location was excellent as we had tickets for the Lyric Theatre. Breakfast was good, however my partner did not enjoy her choice. Some Breakfast staff were good but other were very good. Enjoyed the complementary drinks and snack in the room. The room was just adequate size wise, about the size of my caravan for a lot more money.

Size was adequate but a little more space would have been much better and appreciated. Having space for a chair to relax in would be appreciated, particularly for the cost of the room

It’s a lovely old Hotel with lots of charm and an amazing renovation. It’s located across the road from the Harbourside Car Park, which is cheap on the weekend. We went to a show at the ICC which is a safe 10 minute walk. The rooms are quirky and well-provisioned. The snacks are included which is a nice touch. The staff are friendly and helpful.

We went to breakfast, which can be a bit expensive. It would be nice to have a breakfast option on booking.

Great location for Darling Harbour

I prefer softer pillow

Perfectly located just behind Darling Harbour, giving you easy access to the city while still being tucked away from the noise. The room was impressively quiet thanks to the heavy insulation and blackout curtains — genuinely one of the best night’s sleep I’ve had in a hotel. Staff were friendly and attentive, and the ground-floor bar/restaurant was a great convenience. The complimentary bottled water and snacks were a thoughtful touch.

False fire alarm went off at 5am😵‍💫

We had a lovely stay Beautiful hotel and super close to ICC Breakfast was lovely, thank you Clean room regularly serviced

The only down side was fire alarm going off at 5am twice We understand it was set off by the guest but we could do without

Everything

The property is beautiful in design combining heritage and modern architecture. Centrally located across the road from Wilson’s Harbourside Parking is convenient. Room was lovely and dark and bed was comfy for a good nights sleep. Reception staff were lovely and welcoming.

I felt the $5.00 room service fee was unexpected considering the amount paid for the accommodation. Check out was rushed and felt very in-personal for a supposedly 5 star hotel, no question with regard to the stay etc.

We like the vibe of the Hotel, the included breakfast is A LA CARTE that was a nice surprise. located very close to Darling Harbour. Great spot we will come back if in Sydney again.

There was some signs of wear and tear in the rooms but nothing too problematic.

Comfortable, modern. Every amenity. Free snacks.

Booked a city view room, but received an interior room overlooking the lifts.

Loved the fabulous service at check in, so welcoming. Beautiful hotel in a great location

The bed was very uncomfortable

Helpfulness of staff. We lost a wallet in a taxi and they went above and beyond to get it returned.

Menu somewhat limited

Bed was very comfy. We stayed on the top floor and I loved how the roof was really high and uniquely shaped. The artwork on the wall was also great. Bonus was the free lip balm and the minibar in the room. Easy to park across the road in the Wilsons and also got discount from the hotel. We walked from here to Star City to see a show.

The ironing board in the room was tiny which made it hard to use, but really couldn't complain!

Unique and stylish property perfect for an overnight stay close to darling harbour. Air conditioning worked well and was turned on ready for our arrival on a hot day. Bathroom was spotless and everything worked with a good rain head shower and quality towels. Whoever is operating this hotel knows what guests really expect & need and provides it. Helpful staff who know how the large carpark opposite is configured was appreciated!

Good location and value for money. Great staff

I was next to the store room and it was noisy when opening and closing

The location was great. We stayed to go and see a show at Lyric Theatre and had dinner at a nearby restaurant also. Both those places were within a 10 minute walk from the hotel. The room was comfortable for the size, good for an overnight stay.

No issues with the property at all.

The Woolstore is exceptional. The historic features of the building have been beautifully restored and enhanced while still providing all the comforts of a modern hotel. There is nothing else like it in Sydney and I can’t recommend it more highly.

Absolutely nothing

Breakfast was delicious . Service was quick and efficient

Spit con was just ok

location was fabulous for the Sydney Marathon. My son was running his first Marathon so location wise it was great to see him a few times before heading towards the downtown areas

Couldn't find a comfortable pillow...

Staff were amazing and the extra touches were super special

I was very happy with everything

It was just so refreshing to see such attention to combining the historical with the new - great ambience - loved the design and layout - chic

Great location, lovely rooms and fabulous artwork.

The (very nice) bloke on the desk spoke with a strong accent, quietly and too fast. He was difficult to understand and it would have been hard for older people/non-English speakers.

The whole stay was superb. The staff were exceptional & the room was comfy & clean.

The taxi fare from the airport $$$$$$$

Location

Your window looked down on the restaurant of people

Atmosphere and location

Restuarant/bar being open

I like the interior design and location, it was very beautiful.

The room was smaller than expected given the price point and the bed and pillows weren’t comfortable.

It was very close to the concert my daughter and I were attending.

The cleanliness of the room. The food at the restaurant was sensational.

The room temperature could not be manually adjusted. Overnight the room became very warm and stifling. It appears it is set at 19 degrees and one of the nights it was set at 21 degrees - much too hot for a good nights sleep.

The bar area is wonderful. The old style feel is amazing and close to the Darling Habour if you need a walk.

The breakfast choices, was hard to find option that suits your needs and only a small coffee available. Having to choose from the menu only made it hard.

Lovely friends staff, neat clean rooms.

We thought there was a couch in our room bad in the booking pics. Missed this. ESP with an extended stay

Proximity to the theatres and CBD. Quaint setting friendly staff, great access to parking.

The air conditioning was a bit noisy during the night.

The customer service was beyond what I’ve ever experienced, everyone was so happy and friendly and the whole look of the property was stunning! Having an amazing restaurant right there also made you never want to leave!

Great character hotel in a good location with lots in walking distance of the hotel

Some wifi issues that the hotel promised to sort

I liked how the hotel embraced the history of the building

The atmosphere and quirkyness just a great vibe

Nothing

Lovely quirky room.

A good 10 minute walk to Darling Harbour. So slightly further out and hence cheaper than the other 5 star hotels

Very nice comfortable rooms in beautifully renovated building. Great staff and nice bar and restaurant

It’s a bit further out of the city of you are sightseeing

Room was small & we had an internal room which overlooked the lift shaft. We would have preferred a room with an outside window.

A room with an outside window

Location is excellent

We liked everything about it from the quirky but comfortable rooms and lovely decor to the close proximity to the light rail and the Lyric theatre. We enjoyed a lovely breakfast in the restaurant and the staff were friendly and helpful.

We had no complaints!

The venue is very well located and has kept the connection to its history well.

Room was magnificent, exactly what we needed; location was terrific as we were able to uber/taxi easily around Sydney; our bed was very comfortable and roomy - a good night sleep had by us both - thank you :-)

Comfy bed, lots of storage space, well appointed bathroom, friendly staff, well located near the ICC/Darling harbour

Plumbing could be heard at times overnight from other rooms.

The staff were very helpful and the room was spotlessly clean.

Our room promised a view but it was the carpark opposite.

The Woolstore is a beautifully restored heritage building with a relaxed, boutique vibe. It is quiet and very different from your average city hotel. Thoroughly recommended.

Nothing

Great location & staff were so helpful

Air conditioning wasn’t the best

The complimentary refreshments. I’ve stayed in hundreds of hotels. Free snacks!? Gummy bears, vege chips, cold coke. Brilliant!

I thought the breakfast is free
