Restaurant is fully vegan. No doubt this is some kind of environmental statement by the Ovolo chain, but after a long trip I just wanted to relax rather than having to navigate my way around a taxing menu. There was no work desk in the bedroom

Have stayed a couple of times at the Ovolo South Yarra. Good location, clean, cool rooms, albeit small but with everything I need. No gym but an on site restaurant and friendly staff. This time the noise from outside from a scuffle on the street at 4:30am was a bit crazy and went for a fair while so a room not at the front and higher up would definately be recommended if staying on a Friday or Saturday.

Great stay - turned up 1.30am, no problem, late checkout offered and accepted. Room itself was snug (as described), had everything I needed, very clean, would definitely stay again. Terrific brekkie and coffee at Two Birds One Stone round the corner (5mins walk) down Claremont St. (Can I suggest to the late night staff that they don’t keep repeating your first name, it’s a bit over-familiar being called David ten times in five mins at 1.30am…but that said they were very courteous, they gave me a late checkout, and I was very grateful to be able to check in that late, after Lions rugby celebrations!) Only gripe is this Wotif review form which is broken!!)

Mouse in my room 201

there was a mouse in my room , i had to change the room staff was nice no complaints but then AC wasnt working in second room. I was too tired so i slept without AC and thanfully with no rodents around (hopefully) I have never seen a mouse in a hotel room before, I felt disgusted and Ovolo should take it seriously. Room 201, am sure your housekeeping staff must have mentioned a little mouse next day.

Two nights in South Yarra

Two night stay in South Yarra. The room was the next level above budget and although it contained everything it was very compact and the glass bathroom was not to our liking! Very trendy but not to our taste! Otherwise location good, reception staff friendly, bed comfortable, noise level good, and very clean.
