Laneways by Ovolo is the perfect city location. We travelled with our 4 month old and stayed in an accessible room. Everything was smooth and the room was the perfect size for a pram and cot. A modern hotel with cosy and fashionable interiors.

Basic accomodation, central location.
Central location but no info available re the closest trams or any info about the room so I didnt know how to work the air con. Very quiet given that its location is right in Melb. Friendly staff. No extra blankets or pillows available. No microwave. Limited supply of tea and coffee and UHT milk in the fridge. No snacks provided that you didnt have to pay nosebleed high prices for. Clean and comfortable.
