We received an upgrade to a one-bedroom which was wonderful. Lovely boutique vibe and colouful room. Free lollies and free coffee in the foyer. Also received free drinks at happy hour. Room was incredibly spacious. Super comfortable. Nice condiments. Bowels, spoons, knives and forks were great. The bed was comfortable. On level 1 and the noise was fine. Could barely hear a thing. Was a bit stuffy as windows didn't open at all. Our main issue was the casting to the television. We did get working, but for someone that ksn't tech savvy this would be really hard. Once it was working, it would buffer every three minutes. It took us 3 and a half hours to watch a 2 and a half hour film. Wifi was painfully slow. It also cut out several times. If there was a different TV system or one that at least worked properly our stay would have been wonderful. Sadly, we wouldn't stay again based on the tech.

Great overall stay! Did find the bathroom sink far too small though and each time using it would need to mop up the water on the floor. Breakfast was excellent at the Venom Brewery. One suggestion would be to get a professional coffee machine. Found coffee to be sub par for Melbourne standards. Enjoyed tasting some great beers and loved the spicy wings. Will definitely stop in again next time in Melbourne.

Staff are the heroes here, very warm, inviting and friendly. The property is spacious and decor is nice, but it felt in need of a lick of paint. Suite room was comfortable, overall a nice stay. Water took minutes to get hot though… but the blackout blinds/curtains were much needed!

Great location and every staff member was kind and helpful. We booked a 2 bedroom apartment as we have a toddler who is just learning to walk and it was the perfect space for her to walk around and explore.
The lolly buffet was appreciated at the end of the day when walking the city.
I will stay here when visiting Melbourne in future.

I had the most amazing experience at Laneways by Ovolo. From the moment we arrived, the staff were beyond kind, welcoming, and incredibly accommodating. The girls at the front desk were especially wonderful, they were so supportive of my friend who ran the Melbourne Marathon and went out of their way to make her feel extra special. That personal touch honestly meant so much!

The room was spotless, beautifully styled, and surprisingly spacious, everything felt fresh, comfortable, and so well thought out. It was the perfect place to unwind and recharge.

The location was unbeatable right in the heart of Melbourne, surrounded by amazing food spots, cafés, and bars, and super easy to get anywhere on foot or by tram.

Everything about our stay was five-star: the service, the space, and the warmth of the team. I couldn’t recommend Laneways by Ovolo more highly and can’t wait to stay again!

Great Service in a Central Spot

Laneways by Ovolo was a comfortable and well-located place to stay in Melbourne, close to plenty of food and shopping options. Lyla at the front desk was especially conscientious and helpful, making sure everything went smoothly during our stay. It’s a good pick if you want friendly service and an easy base for exploring the city.

Windowless

If you have rooms with no windows (and 30cm of glass bricks doesnt count as a window) then you should declare that in the listing. An industrial hum through the wall all night and the circulation of a windowless box. At a low price it would be fine, but i paid plenty more and that's comical. I mentioned it to staff who said it was listed as \"no view\" lol

Pros: location can’t be beat. Tons of bars, restaurants and cafes, free trams in the CBD, near all the points of interest.

Comfy beds and nice pillows, 307 faced the back alley and was quiet.

Free coffee and happy hour wine, plus the free candy bins was a cute touch. Free laundry? Yes please!

Cons: strange layout - apparently the architect has never actually stayed in a hotel. World’s tiniest bathroom, Huge living room, yet nowhere for guest #2 to put their stuff. Spotty wifi.

All in all, I would definitely stay here again and hope for a better room layout.

What a great place to stay. Cool candy bar by the elevator! All the staff were happy and informative! So nice to see. The complimentary wine was amazing. The downtown location was perfect for access to all things Melbourne. We loved it so much that we stayed here twice during our visit to Australia.

Great location and nice comfortable hotel. 2 bedroom room was spacious for friends trip. Only slight downside we’d requested and hotel had confirmed bedding configuration but then wasn’t correct when we checked in. Was quickly rectified with no inconvenience. Lovely little touches like lollies and chocolates in the room. Perfect weekend getaway. Will definitely stay again.

Staff were very friendly, helpful and welcoming. Room corridors had a musty/mildew smell. Bed was a double even though we’d booked a queen.
Parking lot was a fair walk and the breakfast was in a cafe across the road (using a prepaid voucher system). Food was nice and coffee was very good.

This is not a 4 star hotel. Our room stunk of mildew, floor boards had 1-2 inch gaps between them and I have never seen a leakier and mouldier shower. We found bugs flying around in the bedroom. The doors and walls had stains, the worst was the bathrooms with unfinished paint, rusty fixtures and screws, and rotted wood.

We asked to change rooms or a refund. The staff were polite and helpful and moved us to another room. In the new room all the issues persisted except the smell and floor boards. Albeit less mould in the shower.

Both rooms were styled nicely but cheap fixtures, poor lighting and shoddy paint really ruined it.

Shame to experience these poor quality rooms from a brand I expected much more off.

No extra blankets or pillows available. No microwave. Limited supply of tea and coffee and UHT milk in the fridge. No snacks provided that you didnt have to pay nosebleed high prices for.
