This hotel literally saved the day for me. I booked a weekend holiday in Sydney and left my accommodation booking a little late, not realising George Michael and the Mardi Gras was on at the same weekend. (Thank goodness my trip to Sydney was over before Spencer Tunick arrived with his camera!) I could not find a place to stay... more

Read a lot of negative reports about Metro Sydney Central, so I wasn't expecting too much. I booked 3 rooms as we were going to the ACDC concert on 20 Feb with friends and didn't want to spend a lot on accommodation as we only needed a place to sleep. At $129 per night, the rooms and hotel proved to... more

We stayed at Metro Hotel Sydney Central night of 6 February on a coach package to the Edinburgh Military Tattoo at the Sydney Football Stadium. Upon arrival on a wet afternoon, reception was very good, key cards handed out to the 50 of us on the coach very quickly. Then the elevator dramas, only 2 of the 3 working and... more

Somewhat surprised to see some of the (very) negative reviews of this hotel on here; stayed here for a week at the end of January 2008 and found it perfectly acceptable. Sure, it's not the best hotel I've ever stayed in, but reason for choosing this place was not luxury or out of this world service. This place was chosen... more

We stayed three different times at this hotel over a year. The first time, we had quite a positive experience. We stayed in a queen superior room, which was all right. It was actually rather good value for money, the location of the hotel is (and remains) excellent, and we did not have to deal with staff members. The second... more

Stayed in this dump for 4 nights over New Year's Eve, The ONLY thing that this hotel has going for it is it's fantastic location. The rooms are small, tiny and filthy. There was a dead cockroach in our room and the bathtub was filthy. We asked to change rooms. In the second room the aircon didn't work. On the... more

When i walked in i thought it was going to be good as the reception area looked great. Walked to the counter to check in i was asked for $100 deposit, handed over credit card to get imprinted and got a lecture that my credit card was not suitable for a deposit as it was a debit card, never ever... more

WARNING = THIS HOTEL IS TERRIBLE. DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND BOOK SOMEWHERE ELSE. This hotel was simply the worst place we'd ever stayed at and we are seasoned travellers! Where do we start! We stayed for 2 nights in march 09 and quite simply the only good thing about the hotel was the central location. This is what attracted... more

Had booked at Marque Hotel where we've had excellent previous stays, but they had overbooked and moved us to Metro Central. Location was equally as good as Marque for our purposes, but the quality of accommodation was considerably less. Was EXTREMELY concerned about an earlier review of the Metro in relation to bedbugs, but the 3 rooms we had showed... more
