The design of the Hotel was very interesting, and I really liked it. A mix of textured concrete and luscious wood (hope it was all treated in case of fire!). Lots of old suitcases and different sized urns/vases/tiles. The lighting however was awful. Too little too low and too yellow. Breakfast was varied, my chocolate pancakes were a lovely mix of texture and flavours with toasted almonds and cara...

Disappointing for a high-end, high-priced hotel. Due to the carpets being slightly higher pile (more luxurious), dust is coll...

Parking downstairs is either cheap with the hotel during the week...

A true gem in Canberra - stylish, comfortable, and unforgettable We’ve stayed at Ovolo Nishi at least four times throughout 2023, and even though some time has passed, we still think about it fondly. In Australia, it can be surprisingly hard to find a hotel that combines great design, comfort, and personality and this one absolutely nails it. The entire place is an experience on its own. The inte...
