We got a One bed apartment with Balcony and Lake views on the 11th floor, Perfect ! Check in was so easy and helpful . A walk or Uber to anywhere in the city is cheap and easy and downstairs bar was cost warm ( fire) with a lovely cocktail menu. I highly recommend staying here and we will be back.

It's always a pleasure to enter the cosy reception area on a cold Canberra day. I was given an apartment with a fold out bed first. Felt like I would be in camping and not in a hotel. Called the reception and verbalised my concern. I got a wonderful upgrade without hesitation. Stay was wonderful. Didn't get the welcome drinks that were advertised but forgot about to ask for it....Had a very pleasant stay

The view shown in photo on this site has a great view facing south over lake. The room i was given faced west to a communications tower. Facing the afternoon sun it would have been uncomfortably hot given theres no air conditioning. Thankfully when I complained they gave me a better room - like the picture

Great place, easy access to Parkes express way, but comes at a cost of the noise when outside. Inside is quite though. The views are magical, and the venue amazing. Front desk staff were awesome too.

Needed a last minute accommodation in Canberra and we decided to treat ourselves to an apartment at Ovolo Nishi. The studio apartment was nice, but feel we would pick the hotel room next time instead. The balcony and view of the lake was the winning point for the apartment.

From the moment you pull up in the car at this hotel you realize it will have some challenges. All the spots are taken in front of the hotel at the 1/2 hour parking area nearest the check in and were for our entire three night stay. Instead you need to park in the garage below the building and try and figure out the maze into the hotel with no signage and poor lighting. (Don't even try to use the Wilson parking App, it doesn't work) The rooms face the Lake and Capital, which is excellent, but the windows are of poor design so the expressway below is very loud in your room. The lighting in the room is very dim, once you figure out what the unlabeled switches do, and you will need to use a flashlight for a number of the parts of the room. The area around the hotel has a limited number of restaurant options and the walk into town is a mile, the Capital is 2.5 mile walk. Public transport is not nearby.

Highway traffic noise.

First time visit. Although the description days Lake View, it’s more like in front of the busy highway. If you're light sleepers, I would not recommend this as it gets quite noisy at nights due to fast traffic right outside.
