Great stay in Canberra
I would have preferred a two bedroom apartment but settled for two one-bedroom apartments. Welcome drinks were appreciated and breakfast was excellent.

Lovely place
Amazing service and view. Thank you to the surprise plate of beautiful treats for the anniversary couple that we're staying with us. Apartment was spacious and far more interesting than the usual room in other hotels.

The view shown in photo on this site has a great view facing south over lake. The room i was given faced west to a communications tower. Facing the afternoon sun it would have been uncomfortably hot given theres no air conditioning. Thankfully when I complained they gave me a better room - like the picture

Needed a last minute accommodation in Canberra and we decided to treat ourselves to an apartment at Ovolo Nishi. The studio apartment was nice, but feel we would pick the hotel room next time instead. The balcony and view of the lake was the winning point for the apartment.

Great place, easy access to Parkes express way, but comes at a cost of the noise when outside. Inside is quite though. The views are magical, and the venue amazing. Front desk staff were awesome too.

Highway traffic noise.
First time visit. Although the description days Lake View, it’s more like in front of the busy highway. If you're light sleepers, I would not recommend this as it gets quite noisy at nights due to fast traffic right outside.

Prior to arrival no one answered the phone while trying over 3 hours to confirm or booking , Great looking building but the lack of service at front desk check in along with the terrible effort within the room ie furnishing is all disappointing , we have stayed in both the hotel and apartment style at the Ovolo Canberra
We have recently also stayed at the QT hotel across the road ... both deserve a poor review
We will give the Hyatt a go next time
