hotel · Potts Point & Woolloomooloo

Ovolo Sydney, Woolloomooloo Review

A hotel inside the heritage-listed finger wharf at 6 Cowper Wharf Roadway, Woolloomooloo.

Best for

A first trip that wants the harbour and a street to live onCouplesTravellers who want a small hotel rather than a tower

Why it stands out

The wharf. It is one of the largest timber structures in the world and the hotel is built into it, which nothing on the beaches can answer.

Main trade-off

Kings Cross is at the top of the hill and the climb up from the wharf is real. The area scores 6.5 for quietness rather than higher for that reason.

Why we recommend it

Best on the water

Our pick for this area because it occupies the heritage finger wharf at Woolloomooloo, with the water on both sides and the Botanic Gardens and the centre a fifteen-minute walk around the bay.
