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

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.

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

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.

8/10

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.

10/10

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.

The staff service was too good. It was partner's birthday, and they made sure we had the time of our life!
2-night trip

6/10

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.
