At Nishi Apartments Eco Living by Ovolo, travellers highlight striking design, lake and city views, and generally friendly service, while noting trade offs like lake side traffic noise, inconsistent cleanliness, and costly, confusing parking.
Guests praise the ambience, stylish decor, and enjoyable on site dining such as breakfast and the cozy bar. Repeated concerns include hot, stuffy apartments due to a lack of air conditioning and occasional housekeeping or maintenance lapses. A distinctive, style led stay with some practical compromises.

Facilities
The cozy bar and onsite restaurant receive positive feedback. Parking is paid, and several guests found the garage access, signage or app confusing and inconvenient.

The unit was nice enough but it was not convenient and not value for money- parking is $35-$40/night. Staff not friendly or helpful when asking simple questions (wifi/gym). Building is interesting but if you want a unit (e.g. I wanted small kitchen and washer/dryer) there at much more comfortable and less expensive options within easy walking distance. They’ve gone to extreme to be modern at the expense of comfort and ease for travellers.

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.

Good location, clean and new property. However, no air conditioning made it very uncomfortable. Also, when I booked there was no mention of $35 a day parking so I end up parking $70 for two nights which made is very costly.

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.

This was the second time i have stayed here. Both times someone from house keeping has let themselves into my room shortly after check in. My first room was great, unfortunately i booked an apartment for the second stay and it was quite cramped, i also didn’t have any glasses, coffee/t, utensils. There was also a terrible smell coming from the drains. Bar staff were friendly however their pos system could use an upgrade, to order one drink took a long time as they needed to press 100 buttons just to get the sale through.

Ain’t a value for money experience. Lake facing apartment is directly facing the busy motorway which is extremely noisy. Dishwasher door is way too loose that swing downwards with full force that causes bruises to my legs. As the room is non aircon, it’s definitely way too hot for summer stay.

Generally, a lovely hotel with friendly staff. The apartments seem a bit dated since I stayed there 3 years ago. Furnishings not very comfortable but apartment has good amenities. Just need clean glasses. The breakfast was very nice and beautiful view. Walking distance to Lake Burley Griffin and convenient to visit Floriade.

Rooms
Design forward apartments deliver striking lake and city views and some comfortable spaces, but several lack air conditioning and can feel hot or stuffy. Noise from the nearby motorway affects some lake facing rooms, and a few mention cramped layouts, dim lighting, small balconies, or uncomfortable furnishings.

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.

Overall, quite a nice and modern hotel. Friendly staff. Good food. However, we stayed in the apartments and there is NO AIR-CONDITIONING! The room was constantly hot and stuffy even in the middle of winter. We were told to open doors and windows to cool the room, which at this price point is outrageous. Very disappointing.

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

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.

Ain’t a value for money experience. Lake facing apartment is directly facing the busy motorway which is extremely noisy. Dishwasher door is way too loose that swing downwards with full force that causes bruises to my legs. As the room is non aircon, it’s definitely way too hot for summer stay.

Generally, a lovely hotel with friendly staff. The apartments seem a bit dated since I stayed there 3 years ago. Furnishings not very comfortable but apartment has good amenities. Just need clean glasses. The breakfast was very nice and beautiful view. Walking distance to Lake Burley Griffin and convenient to visit Floriade.

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.

We had a great 1 night stay, the beds were very comfortable and the room had everything we needed. The restaurant downstairs and bar area was amazing enjoyed dinner and breakfast and only a short walk to lake. We will be back

Overall, quite a nice and modern hotel. Friendly staff. Good food. However, we stayed in the apartments and there is NO AIR-CONDITIONING! The room was constantly hot and stuffy even in the middle of winter. We were told to open doors and windows to cool the room, which at this price point is outrageous. Very disappointing.

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

I would have preferred a two bedroom apartment but settled for two one-bedroom apartments. Welcome drinks were appreciated and breakfast was excellent.

Amazing service and view. Thank you to the surprise plate of beautiful treats for the anniversary couple that we're staying with us. Apartment was spacious and far more interesting than the usual room in other hotels.

The staff were the only good thing about this hotel. Disappointing since other Ovolos are great. The room was noisy, dusty and hot. The air conditioning didn’t work correctly and kept switching off every few hours. The food at the restaura was equally bad - tasteless and overpriced. Very disappointing all round.

Tv wasn’t working and fridge was not cold . Rang reception to complain . They said they would move me but asked me to come downstairs with all my luggage to swap keys . Surely someone could have brought these to me . Then the tv was still not working so I needent have move rooms . No apology or even a free drink offered . On a plus point the bar staff were excellent

Really nice place to stay. When we arrrived, our deluxe studio room was next to the elevator( a pet peeve), so requested a swap (from one that faced the parliament to one that was on the other side of the building. It was no hassle for the bloke on the front desk, who was super-nice, and the alternate room was actually bigger and better IMHO. Had a dinner and a breakfast in the downstairs restaurant, too. Both times, the food was excellent!
