Ovolo Woolloomooloo

It's a really bad place to stay. The rooms are old, dirty and worn. Our carpet in the room was falling apart and have a big pink stain on it. The sofa was ripped and the room was dusty. The bathroom was the worst. Tiles cracked, moldy, Broken silicon strip, AWFUL water pressure and certainly not environment friendly as it takes 5 minutes of water running before you get the temperature you want.
The gym is located in a weird spot, quite far from the rooms and the equipment is in very poor condition. The changing rooms were filthy to the point where you wouldn't be comfortable getting in the shower without flip flops.
Service was frustrating, dialing 9 to speak to reception and nobody ever picked up. Soooo annoying having to go up and down every time you needed something. The bar was nice but it was just so quiet there that we didn't stay. Weird that on a weekend, they are so quiet in that bar.
Breakfast the following morning was terrible. A selection of cheap stuff served on a buffet that surely wouldn't pass the health safety check. For what is advertised as a 5 star (NO WAY) the breakfast selection was a joke. My partner asked if they had other items but they didn't. We ended up going to the city to buy breakfast although it was meant to be included in our room.
The most disappointing stay at a hotel we have ever had. The only 5 star aspect is the price. The experience doesn't even deserve a 1 star review.

The hotel is very tired and feels grotty.

We stayed in a loft room. The room and bathroom had a dirty musty foul smell about it.
(The towels were fresh and clean though)

The bed was saggy and lumpy - it just felt all very old and run down.

We are not sure how the hotel is trying to position itself in the market - but for us it lacked class, sophistication, maintenance and proper cleaning.

We were given a cheap plastic yo-yo and a bottle of wine with a handwritten note that said ‘let’s get drunk’ attached to it.
It all felt quite unsophisticated and unprofessional - and to be frank made us feel uncomfortable.

The location is good for access to the harbour, but there are far better options available for next time.

Do your research and make sure you are comfortable with what you might be getting for your money.
