Laneways by Ovolo

The location was excellent. Close to restaurants, walking distance to shopping and easy to catch the trams.

Reception staff.

Fantastic location and the staff are amazing, so friendly and welcoming.

The bathroom facilities could be better, especially the sink, it’s so tiny you can’t even wash your face or brush your teeth properly.The fridge didn’t work properly either, door wouldn’t shut.

Convenient location

Limited space in the bathroom although big shower area. A shelf or another hook in the bathroom to put things on would be better

Loved our stay. What a great location. Loved happy hour & that it was a short walk to anything.

Breakfast off site wasn’t the greatest breakfast cafe.

Great style. Close to city centre. Lovely staff very helpful.

Could hear people in the next room.

The location and style of the hotel

The outdoor balcony has rotten wood, te bathroom door doesn’t close all the way so not a lot of privacy and the blind in the bedroom was broken so had to call someone at 2am to try close the blind.

Great location, well-appointed and comfortable room, suitable for small family

Problems with the air conditioner (but adequately and promptly addressed by staff); lack of perks based on previous stays at the same hotel (e.g. 'loot bag', breakfast included in base rate).

The staff are amazing and friendly. Location was in easy walking distance of the city and great food and China Town. Room was a great size and light and airy, happy hour for drinks and chips was nice to relax after a day of walking and before dinner. Breakfast was at a local cafe and the food and coffee was perfect.

The hand basin in the bathroom was the smallest I have ever experience pretty much verging on useless but we forgave this based on everything being amazing. I would not stay here if you are big on anything that requires a vanity benchtop because there isn't one.

Complimentary lollies. And the staff were friendly. Comfortable couch

The bathroom basin is too small.

Location was great, staff was friendly and helpful, loved the free lollie and coffee bar.

The bathroom could do with a touch up. Sink was super small and there was no toilet brush.

The staff were friendly and informative. The bed comfy and the room well equipped. Brilliant idea having a stocked lobby...water, lollies, coffee etc.

the small size of bathroom sink. Ok for brushing teeth but not cleaning face.

Hotel room was bright and clean, the Memphis penthouse was spacious and the beds were really comfy. The hot tub was a nice touch! Staff left us a welcome note and lollies as well as a chilled wine on arrival.

Not sure about the other floors, but the fifth floor had stairs as soon as you came out of the lift and this meant it wasn’t very accessible for people with prams or wheelchair users.

Friendly staff and good location

Room smelt damp. The whole hotel gave a hostel or sex worker hotel vibe. Wasn’t pleasant felt unsafe and really dirty.

great location and huge rooms, lovely balocny

uncomfortable pillows and bad breakfast at a cafe up the street

Good location spacious rooms

Breakfast in hotel

Great location & funky hotel.

The noise between each hotel room is very clear and loud. They need better soundproofing. We could hear toilets flushing and showers and a lady next to our room coughing all night like she was in our room. The lollies next to the lift are cute but not very hygenic as we saw people putting their hands in and grabbing lollies out instead of using the tongs provided.

It was a big room but the room had issues

The air conditioner didn’t work and the toilet didn’t flush properly

Loved the spacious room and the lolly bar

No parking

Loved the location and the space and the beds were super comfy. Didn't see or hear any other guests when we were there but the pipes were noisy (apparently this is a Melbourne thing?). Staff really helpful. Could have done with a sharp knife (to open dishwash sachet) and tea towels and didn't end up asking for them which I could have done. Great price for my son and I to have separate rooms
