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.

Lovely room, nice staff and awesome location! We had a really nice stay for three nights, and I would recommend everyone going here. Love the happy hour thingy and room decor - and of course very pleasant staff. Would be a huge plus if you could somehow properly ventilate the room,.
