“Laneways By Ovolo captures Melbourne's laneway spirit with a genuinely friendly team and thoughtful touches, like complimentary wine and a delightful candy bar. Its prime location places you at the heart of the city's buzz, with comfortable rooms providing a surprisingly quiet retreat. This is a smart, characterful stay that understands the art of hospitality.”
