Ruffy Bushland Reserve

Melbourne is generally safe. This hotel is in a shady part of town. Arguments on street at night. AC/heater did not work, so they sent up a portable one that worked fine. There is no sin on the street; after five minutes of walking past it many times, we asked locals, and they pointed far up to a YEHS sign.

Great location. Wonderful views. Checking could have been a bit easier but great place to stay.

I had the most amazing experience at Laneways by Ovolo. From the moment we arrived, the staff were beyond kind, welcoming, and incredibly accommodating. The girls at the front desk were especially wonderful, they were so supportive of my friend who ran the Melbourne Marathon and went out of their way to make her feel extra special. That personal touch honestly meant so much! The room was spotless, beautifully styled, and surprisingly spacious, everything felt fresh, comfortable, and so well thought out. It was the perfect place to unwind and recharge. The location was unbeatable right in the heart of Melbourne, surrounded by amazing food spots, cafés, and bars, and super easy to get anywhere on foot or by tram. Everything about our stay was five-star: the service, the space, and the warmth of the team. I couldn’t recommend Laneways by Ovolo more highly and can’t wait to stay again!
