Detailed Reviews
I chose to stay at the Ovolo Central (again) but this time for my 2-week quarantine stay when I returned to HK in May 2020.
I wanted to know that if I was going to spend 2 weeks in confinement, I knew exactly what to expect (from previous visits) and I was not disappointed.
The staff were super attentive and went well out of their way to make sure my stay was comfortable even offering to put a pair of dumbbells in my room so I could work out.
My room was cleaned 3 times a week during the q stay and fresh towels were available daily if I needed them
I booked directly so my breakfast was included along with my mini car which was replenished generously and daily. The breakfast is highly recommended along with the coffee.
My stay also had 7 lunches or dinners included which I thought was handy but I didn't enjoy the menu items that much. There wasn't anything wrong with the food, it simply wasn't food that I would eat regularly and therefore I found the choice of restaurants available on the usual Deliveroo, Food Panda and Uber Eats much more to my liking. The hotel will deliver any items outside your door and make sure any used items are taken away quickly.
Please be mindful there is a popular club right near the hotel. I didn't find this to be an issue noise wise but still important to point out.
Overall, a very positive experience for me and I will be back for sure.

This is our first stay at Ovolo Central although we have stayed with Ovolo elsewhere previously. The gold rooms are a generous size for the location and are well equipped with ample hanging space, a good sized bathroom with all the amenities we needed. The only drawback I could find with this hotel is also the major plus - the location. 2-10 minutes walk from a large number of restaurants, bars and shops as well as public transport. We really loved the convenience of the Ovolo Central but sitting just above Wyndham Street and Dragon-I nightclub, you definitely need to be a sound sleeper or bring earplugs as the noise ramps up towards the early morning.

Hi misomiso_9, Glad you have made Ovolo your place to go to when traveling here in HK or in Australia… Our rooms are indeed well quipped and our location is indeed perfect. We are in the heart of Central, yet away enough from the hustle & bustle of city-life. We hope to have you try out all our Ovolo hotels here In HK, Australia and soon to launch Bali later this year! Have a great 2020 New Year! Cheers, Sonesh

Am now well into my 14 Day Quarantine having travelled from London to see my HK Resident Husband.
I am loving my time at Ovolo Hotel, and nothing is too much trouble for Mr Sonesh Mool and his Team; It is strange being 'away' from normal life but everyone here is so helpful and it is really does make it a pleasure to be here. My room is quite separate to the main hotel, and all isolation precautions are in full force, but I still feel very looked after. The room is beautifully maintained, spacious enough for me to do all my daily exercises and it is well appointed with a pristine marble shower room, fantastically comfortable bed ( gorgeous egyptian cotton sheets!) and plenty of space for all my belongings. Room Service is excellent, food is wonderful and best of all, I have been given some fitness training equipment - Im going to need this as it is quite easy to over indulge on the fab food and drinks! Great range of Tea/Coffee making facilities and the treat package was much appreciated on arrival. In addition, WiFi connection is great and i am kept entertained as much as I want! Huge TV screen ( not yet used as I have my laptop and movies plus my Kindle)
Importantly though, for everyone's safety and the whole ethos of my stay here and the need for Quarantine, Sonesh is clearly working hard to ensure that the highest standards of health, safety and distancing is maintained whilst making equal efforts to provide a great guest experience - I don't feel forgotten at all, and whilst I can't wait to be released after my 14 days are over, I could easily stay here for the rest of the year!! Such an indulgence at such a worrying time for us all- Thank you, Ovolo

Hi LouiseS2536, Much appreciated for this fantastic review and so glad to read this...

My partner and I are currently staying at Ovolo Central for our mandatory 14 days of Quarantine. So far we have experienced nothing but the most friendly and attentive service; with staff following up water for the room, mini fridge replenishments, Nespresso pod refills, meal deliveries and much more in a matter of minutes after each request.
The service team make sure to introduce themselves each day via WhatsApp, Sonesh, the GM also made sure to acquaint himself and ensure we were having a comfortable stay. The marketing team have sent Christmas gifts and surprises in the leading days up to the 25th, including puzzles, gingerbread and little treats.
On top of this: my partner and I celebrated our anniversary in quarantine yesterday and upon asking for a table and chairs to enjoy a nice lunch, we were surprised kindly by the team with a beautiful, romantic setup (See pictures). Sonesh (again going the extra mile) also gave us a beautiful bottle of Italian wine, later to be followed up by a sparkling wine- much to our surprise. This kind and thoughtful gesture made our day on top of what is already an outstanding stay.
It it clear that aside from the hotel itself boasting: big white fluffy towels, a spacious room with modern decor, rain shower, Nespresso machine, storage spaces for luggage with room to hang and fold clothes out of sight; the team behind the scenes work tirelessly to ensure each guest has a stay above and beyond expectations, rivalling their competitors.
I think if the government suddenly changed the laws and told us we could leave quarantine tomorrow, I would not be ready to leave yet! I mean come on... 5pm happy hour at the door each evening with a delicious, healthy Brekky each morning - I’m not passing that up anytime soon!
Looking forward to the rest of our stay and staying with Ovolo Hotels in the future. They have a dedication to providing exceptional service, (even to us in quarantine) and they clearly hire their staff based on being able to provide and deliver this to their clientele.

I stayed in Ovolo Central in the Radio Suite for a 14-day quarantine stay. The stay was wonderfully enjoyable and I would honestly not mind extending my stay! Quarantine stays are tough and I had to stay in the room without visitors. Food is delivered to the door and placed on a table outside, rooms are cleaned every third day. The hotel called daily to check in on me, helped me run errands such as getting coffees/ grocery from outside, regularly provided treats/ snacks. The mini bar is complementary and replaced on demand. The breakfast included was healthy and tasty, and all good delivery is brought up form the reception promptly. The room itself was spacious, with Alexa, Apple TV providing entertainment, and yoga mat and free weights were provided for my daily exercise. The GM Sonesh was great and attentive, as was Horace (ops manager) and the team. Lots of little details to make you feel taken care of. Highly recommended hotel in a great Central location.

I put in quite a good amount of effort to choose my quarantine hotel, because well, it is 14 days after all. So Ovolo popped up as a great candidate based on my search criteria: 1) a good sized room, 2) central location (for food delivery options), 3) catered towards quarantine customers (to make sure they know the procedures etc.)
Looking further into their Quarantine Package, I absolutely adored their focus on wellness, providing a fitness mat, resistance bands and even coloring kits / sudoku's to their clients! As a foodie and fitness junkie, I was basically sold the moment I saw how they spun a gruelling quarantine into a wellness-focused staycation. The staff were all SUPER friendly as well, in-room breakfast options were great (hello avocado toasts and granola bowls!) and basically, as I've said to many friends already, it's pretty much as good as quarantine gets!

We booked Ovolo Central for our 14 day mandatory quarantine stay. It was absolutely fantastic! From having to amend our booking on short notice to the moment we checked in, the Ovolo staff have been nothing short of amazing! Arriving at the hotel we were greeted with excitement and felt very welcome, and reassured that it would be a lovely stay as we were shown to our room. The room was very clean and spacious with everything that we needed and for anything else, it was just a phone call away. The friendly staff was available on whatsapp ready to assist in any way needed from taking care of deliveries to doing the quick food shop. As for the minibar - complimentary every day, yes this is true! Our room was also cleaned every third day by very friendly staff again making sure we have everything we needed. We also had the very efficient “Alexa” at our disposal along with apple tv to keep us entertained and block out blinds and super comfy bed to ensure a good nights rest.
Thank you team Ovolo for making this the most pleasant experience we could have hoped for, we highly recommend Ovolo hotel for you quarantine stay and also in the not too distant future for a weekend getaway or staycation.

I was coming back from Singapore and stayed in the hotel for 13 days quarantine.
When I first arrived the hotel, I could tell this hotel is very stylish and energetic from the decorations, unlike the traditional one, like the in room mini bar.
The hotel offers free breakfasts and some meals from their Indian vegetarian resto Veda during my quarantine period, but with that location, actually you can get many great good local or international food by delivery!
What I also like is i can just WhatsApp the reception, texting is always easier for some people you know.
If you want to do some grocery shopping, the hotel staff are also very kind to offer their help.
During the 2-week, they also sent me some cards with treats occasionally and even the workout pack!(though I was too lazy for that)
So I know most business are barely surviving with the pandemic, when chitchatting with the operation manager, he mentioned during this time with less guests why not go a one step ahead and do more for the guests if available, I really appreciate such attitude.
The only drawbacks are although they have double layers of glasses over the windows in the bedroom but not the toilet.. so the noise coming from the bars downstairs gets really loud if you don't close the toilet door.
Another is the fridge is not cold enough ... Can't keep the ice long for the mini bar.

We checked in on Nov 8 with two 7 year old twins and an infant. We had tons of luggage (two taxis full) that the lovely staff brought up quickly to our rooms. Check in was easy after a zillion hours of travel.
I booked the stay based on the reviews people posted on the HK quarantine FB group and the hotel lives up to the reviews. The hotel offers a lovely breakfast daily (I especially love the coconut yogurt /granola with fruit), free mini bar, free daily grocery runs for things you need, and on Monday’s they do a bakery run at a well known French bakery (Eric Kayser which I would get stuff from in NYC) for guests. My favorite thing is the daily happy hr at 5pm-5:30pm. You hear fun music coming from the elevator and know it’s time to party with a yummy cocktail and appetizers. I can’t say enough about the amazing staff and their friendliness. For example my baby turned 1 in quarantine Nov 15 and the staff brought up a lovely cake and care package with snacks and such which was extremely thoughtful to celebrate his special day.
So if you need to quarantine or are looking for a unique stay that is awesome I highly recommend the Ovolo Central.

We were looking for a hotel where we could stay with our dog after leaving our flat and waiting for our flights to relocate in the US. Not many hotels in HK accept dogs and many that do are outrageously expensive. Ovolo was reasonably priced and in a good location, so we reserved our final 3 nights in HK with them. After multiple itinerary changes we ended up spending 4 nights and had an amazing experience.
Breakfast from Veda was amazing - delivered each day so we could have a delicious start in the room (with the dog).
Free minibar was real! Soft drinks, beer, spirits, mixers plus a wide variety of tea and coffee (including a nespresso).
Room was large and very comfortable with soft pillows and luxurious linens. Bathroom was nicely appointed with plenty of comfort items.
While the hotel itself was truly lovely, the best part of the stay was the staff. They were so gracious and helped meet our every need. They really went above and beyond our expectations. The manager, Horace, is leading an attentive staff that really understands hospitality.
We are sad to be leaving Hong Kong, but we could not have wished for a better final few days.

Dear treiciasyn,
As mentioned by others of the community already, our hotel is located above LKF and a 10-15min walk up the stairs and slope is required to reach us.
When arriving in HK-Station / Central with luggage, a taxi for the price of HKD 40-50 is recommended. Once arrived at our hotel, our team can provide some tips & tricks to avoid most of the stairs when coming form Central station. You may consider taking the Mid-Level escalator from Queens Road (leaving Central station at Exit D1 or D2) up to Hollywood Road. From there, it is just a short stroll to our Hotel in Arbuthnot Road. Total journey time about 15-20min but guaranteed less stairs and slopes.
Please let us know if you have further questions treiciasyn, we look forward to welcome you at our Ovolo Central.
All the best,
Stefan Borm
