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

Overnight stay on the way home from a business trip. Right in the heart of downtown and across from the Capitol Theatre - great location to see a show or go to a restaurant or two. Staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel itself is somewhat run down and old - but the price is right. recommended :) more

First off they didn't have a record of my online booking. Just as well printed off the confirmation. We were consquently upgraded to a superior room. The standard room must have been small, because the superior room was just bigger than a shoebox. Nevertheless it was comfortable enough. And besides, we weren't going to spend a lot of time in... more

Friend & I were coming to Sydney for a show at the Capitol Theatre so wanted a conveniently located hotel for the night. The Sydney Metro was just right...across the road. We were in a standard twin on the 3rd floor. Firstly, the bathroom could have done with a very good scrub up, for although it badly in need of... more

Check-in was quick and efficient and the reception staff very friendly and helpful. My room was clean and functional but, being on the third floor and looking out on to... more

As others have mentioned the Metro Center hotel is really well positioned for much of the city. Hyde Park is a couple of blocks away, Darling Harbor maybe ten minutes by foot, but this is also on the edge of Chinatown and right in the middle of the backpacker scene. Translation, lots of good cheap food nearby, but sort of... more

The staff was very helpful here. They gave us good recommendations, gave us a fan, and were helpful with directions. We weren't here much because we were out on the town mostly. The room was comfortable and conveniently located. more

This is a nice hotel with an excellent location. You can easily go to the Darling Harbor by foot (10 minutes walk) and from there, take a boat or cruiser to see around and hop off at Sydney Harbor, Sydney Opera House, and other attractions. And the hotel is also very near to Central Train Station (about 5 minutes walk,... more

We found the room with 2 double beds cramped and the lighting was not convenient. Breakfast provided was functional - same menu every day. Did not find the staff very pleasant (except for an Australian lady and another man). more
