눉The room was a little bit tired - the floor tiles were lifting. There was only one tea/coffee mug.
눇I was upgraded to a larger room. The bed was comfortable. The free mini bar was good.

눉Our room looked nothing like the main advertising photos - only a small bar window (made of non-see through glass blocks for light only) and was a touch pokey for two people to comfortably move around in (bathroom especially).
눇The staff were fabulous and location perfect for our needs. Room was comfortable if a little small but bedding was very comfortable. Liked the snack bar and happy hour touches.

“Underwhelming”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Studio
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉I booked again @ Ovolo because my first experience there a year ago was outstanding. While the hotel facilities themselves have obviously not changed, my experience did. What booked me a single suite a year ago now didn't even cover a shoebox for a room. The happy hour bar @ reception - available for everyone a year ago, now no longer available for people booking through booking.com supposedly. The bathroom so small, the sink had to be essentially hidden under the shelf to the extent that when reaching down to rinse one's mouth after teeth brushing, water landed on the floor as opposed to in the sink... The only portal to the outside world, some glass 'bricks' right next the bed with no covering curtains and where the curtains were, no window. Obviously only there for "window dressing" (pardon the pun). Hotel location is terrific. Facilities generally very clean. Didn't like the guy I encountered on the desk this time and room as above. I would still return, but unless in a single suite, I probably wouldn't bother for the price nowadays.
