The attentive staff can help you arrange your travel plans. Guests say the service is superb with one reviewer commenting that they made him feel like a VIP. Visitors praised their friendliness and helpfulness.
Ovolo used to be a warehouse and still looks like one. Guests say the design of the hotel is quirky and has industrial character - which is a welcome break from the same bland look of chain hotels.
The hotel is located in the south part of Hong Kong, away from the main subway lines. You must take a taxi or a bus to get to the main parts of town. But this also means the hotel is a lot quieter than what you'd get in the busier parts of the city.
If you're looking to work in your hotel room, it may be difficult to do so without a desk.
The hotel needs better sound proofing, say some guests who complained that they could hear everything their next-door neighbours were doing. Also there were complaints about overhearing lots of traffic noise.
