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.

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

Didnt like the foldout bed which was not mentioned, kept tripping over it. Quilt had stains, dirty lounge, not very clean overall.

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.

Architecturally beautiful, back of house need week
This was the second time i have stayed here. Both times someone from house keeping has let themselves into my room shortly after check in. My first room was great, unfortunately i booked an apartment for the second stay and it was quite cramped, i also didn’t have any glasses, coffee/t, utensils. There was also a terrible smell coming from the drains. Bar staff were friendly however their pos system could use an upgrade, to order one drink took a long time as they needed to press 100 buttons just to get the sale through.

6/10 Good

The unit was nice enough but it was not convenient and not value for money- parking is $35-$40/night. Staff not friendly or helpful when asking simple questions (wifi/gym). Building is interesting but if you want a unit (e.g. I wanted small kitchen and washer/dryer) there at much more comfortable and less expensive options within easy walking distance. They’ve gone to extreme to be modern at the expense of comfort and ease for travellers.
