Great Staff, great location”

When we arrived late on a Friday night, the room we had been assigned had an air conditioner that made a lard squealing noise. We call reception and within 10 minutes we were in a new room, staff edger to help and did so without any apparent effort. The only issues we had was that we had paid for breakfast but when we arrived at around 9.45-10 to get breakfast there was no seats available and one customer sitting down advised us that he had been waiting 45 minutes for his food. So we went elsewhere for breakfast. Otherwise couldn’t fault our experience.

Hi Karen, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re thrilled to hear that you found our staff helpful and the location to your liking. We sincerely apologize for the initial issue with the air conditioner, but we’re glad we were able to quickly accommodate you in a new room. We also regret the experience you had with breakfast and the delays you encountered. Please know that we take guest satisfaction seriously, and we’ll be looking into ways to improve the efficiency of our breakfast service to avoid situations like this in the future. Thank you again for your understanding, and we hope to welcome you back for another stay soon! Kind regards, Sanzita

Amazing stay”

We had a fantastic stay at The Woolstore 1888 by Ovolo. The location was perfect, allowing us to easily explore the surrounding area. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The facilities were top-notch, with a well-maintained bathroom and a good range of amenities. Housekeeping did a great job keeping our room clean and tidy. The room size was spacious and comfortable. The only downside was that the sleep quality could have been better with a firm mattress. The soft mattress hurt our back. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend The Woolstore 1888 for a great stay.

5 star accommodation! ”

I enjoyed my stay at The Woolstore 1888 by Ovolo and would like to praise the fantastic housekeeping team - they've truly made my stay a breeze. Their attentiveness had kept the room incredibly comfortable, clean and tidy! Not to forget their 24/7 front desk for offering assistance wherever necessary such a cab booking for hotel-airport transfer. Thanks again for your excellent service!

Amazing service for an injured traveller”

The day before I was due to check-in I had injured myself. I'd gone to the hotel first thing in the morning with my luggage and reception helped me to complete the check-in process, stow away my luggage, and asked what type of room I would want given my injury (ground floor or upper floors). To cut a long story short, I eventually went to the hospital to get my foot checked out and got back to the hotel that night with a cast and crutches, and the manager helped to bring my things all the way into my room, and even helped to delivery my Uber Eats order when it arrived half an hour later, with cutlery as well as he wasn't sure if it had been included in my order. The rest of my stay was just as wonderful - consistently excellent service, delicious breakfast and a very comfy room with Netflix and Prime (though you need your own account). The only detractor I can think of is that the window of my room was directly opposite an apartment building, but that doesn't bother me too much as I normally draw the curtains or blinds unless there's a view anyway. I had chosen this hotel as it had good reviews and it was close to Darling Harbour, and I wanted to treat myself, and I'm very glad I decided to shell out a bit and went with this option given the situation I found myself in. It's also a quiet neighbourhood and right in front of the Convention light rail stop, so quite convenient for getting around (something I'm sure I'd have been very pleased with had I been able to easily move around). I highly recommend this hotel and I'm looking forward to staying at other Ovolo hotels if I ever find myself in a city with one.

Nice little gem”

Booked this hotel for my daughter’s school formal. Really great location and close proximity to Darling Harbour and the Star. Staff were super friendly and even free snacks and drinks. Could have done with better cleaning as light fittings covered with nice thick dust. Other than that it was really good.
