Lock in a great price for Ovolo Laneways – rated 9.3 by recent guests!

to get started.

The staff were friendly, told them it was my partners birthday and we arrived back at the room to a bottle of champagne and a birthday card from them. You can't beat that. 10/10

Dylan, New Zealand

Love the little extras. Free mini bar, things like toothbrush and toothpaste with mouthwash also a nice little extra. Just around the corner from trams and a block or two walk from Bourke Street Mall.

Samuel, Australia

everything - the attention to detail and the free mini bar and goodies downstairs were wonderful

Richard, United Arab Emirates

I received an upgrade on arrival which was great. The room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. Bathroom was huge.

Alison, Australia

Great location, felt very safe, rooms very clean. Very nice having free bottled water, juices, few beers and wine in Fridge every day

Alix, Australia

The Ovolo is great. Awesome service, great rooms, free wiFi, mini bar and breakfast. Always my favourite when I stay in Melbourne

Vanessa, Australia

Despite the fact this place is fitted out in a somewhat more "industrial" style (lots of hard corners, squares & rectangles and some 'exposed' fittings), it's comfortable, functional, most importantly clean and small touches such as mouthwash in the bathroom are nice. With a 1Br suite, the 'functional' mini-bar was completely free as were bottles of water, coffees and lollies for guests at reception. Again, a nice touch. Didn't eat breakfast, but when surveyed, seemed more of a cold continental style than anything hot. No Foxtel/Sky, but Netflix, soo... All in all, place deserves a rap and to have its profile raised. I'd stay there again.

Wanderingcritiq, Australia

The room was very comfortable (a studio suite) - we enjoyed couch. We loved being able to use the Apple TV. The free mini bar and goodie bag items were excellent. The room made me smile. Oh , and I also love my Ovolo backpack. The room was really well designed. We later stayed in hotels with twice the floor space, that weren't as comfortable because they weren't as well thought out.

Norah, United States of America

Location, service, parking and room is all fantastic

Alison, Australia

Styling and amenities were excellent, lots of freebies but not all to my taste. Staff were excellent.

What Travelers Love About This Location

“What a find! Located at the top end of Chinatown near amazing restaurants, it literally backed onto the Princess Theatre (we were there to see the Book of Mormon). We walked to the MCG, from the hotel , in fact we walked everywhere, it' s how you discover the laneways, but the tram line is close by.... All the little extras just make you happy- the loot bag, lolly display free water , mini bar supplied, great coffee machine - all amazing! Bigger hotel chains should take note a couple of free drinks and a brilliant continental brekki and you are a happy camper! There was so much said about the small bathroom sinks..... they supply all the things you need including toothbrushes, so who cares if it's tiny!”

눉If I had one little gripe it would be that the room didn't have much natural lighting/windows. I'll just have to upgrade to a terrace suite next time :)
눇The staff were friendly, told them it was my partners birthday and we arrived back at the room to a bottle of champagne and a birthday card from them. You can't beat that. 10/10

눉Parking ticket didn't to limit parking to $16.00 work - so had to pay full price of $76.00. Too far away from venue to go back for another ticket. Didn't realise the grab and go breakfast was not included in the price, so it ended up being a very expensive stay for one adult and 2 children

눉We arrived early and weren't able to check in early due to the hotel was busy, understandable but the staff didn't seem bothered to try and accomodate us somehow. We then had to wait for our room to be ready half an hour later then the normal check in time. Once in our room the floor was still wet from just been cleaned. We were offered a late check out but feel we would of got that anyway if requested.
눇Free mini bar

눉Check-in was a bit odd. Staff member was a bit awkward and seemed unsure. No ventilation in the bathroom either. Have to open the door to let steam escape and get dry.
눇Love the little extras. Free mini bar, things like toothbrush and toothpaste with mouthwash also a nice little extra. Just around the corner from trams and a block or two walk from Bourke Street Mall.
