Melanie
Lovely helpful staff on the front desk. We just had a quick overnight stay but it was what we needed and in a good location.
Natalia
Excellent location, easy access to shopping, cafes, etc. You are 2 min away from the harbor with all the restaurants, water taxis, Chinese Garden. Also, I travelled with a teenage child so the layout of the apartment was just what I wanted.
Tony
Family friendly property
Melanie
Great location and helpful staff at check in and during our stay
Ted
Overall the experience was good. The first night was uncomfortable as the box spring was missing a support leg, causing the bed to sag. They moved us to a different room and that room was much better. The staff were great in accommodating our change.
The location is excellent for visiting Darling Harbour. Close to public transport for getting around.
Having a kitchen was great to enjoy some meals at the unit.

James
Location was great close to transit system. Great view of harbor and sunset.
Miguel
Easy process for an early check in. Room is spacious and clean
Ana Maria
The staff were super helpful and were trying their best. They need more training, resources and support. We got a complimentary room upgrade and the room was dated, with the soap, shampoo, etc dispensers missing. The balcony door didn't close properly so the noise from the street came through all night long. We had a room booked for another stay and decided to cancel and try our luck elsewhere.
Peter
Apartment was well positioned and central to every thing but very noisy because it’s single glazed and there’s a pub across the opposite corner and motorway very close. It was large and had anything you would need for a longer stay.
Tracy
Wonderful friendly staff. However our room had a consistent water leak from the very aged air conditioning. Carpet was soaked. Although a perfect location, the accommodation is in need of urgent upgrades including furniture. Stained lounges and unstable dining chairs are clearly showing their age. Usually I would not leave negative feedback for somewhere we choose to stay when in Sydney, however the cost of staying here does not reflect the service provided.
Karen
Generally a good experience, staff super friendly and helpful , clean but dated ,bathroom cupboards have water damage ,bath has calcium buildup , very noisy at night from the street over the weekend.

Lucille
Comfortable bed, clean bathroom and kitchen. Housekeeping cleans everyday and change towels daily. Staff are helpful. We feel safe during our 4 night stay, you have to use a room key to open the door of the property as well as the elevator. Overall, we has a pleasant stay.
Marion
Great stay
Really good for rugby
Zareen
Place is at a very convenient location for Sealife Sydney etc. Room was clean and amenities were good too. However we were on L1 and the noise from the bar across road and traffic was too loud to let us sleep for most part of the night.
Cameron
The location worked well and overall we enjoyed our stay. I would comment though that the room appearance did not quite match the pictures in the booking process.
han
Bit noisy at night
Rob
Great view of Darling Harbour and close to all the restuarants along the waterfront. Pub just across the road if you want a quick drink. Ferry service close by. Can be a bit noisy at night with the traffic and music from the pub. Otherwise great location.
Kara and Scott
Noisy
Convenient location, but traffic noise interrupted our sleep.
Ally
Property is Walking distance to all major attractions,
Desley
An enjoyable couple of days.
Good place to stay in the city close to everything. Short walk to Darling Harbour. Not far to get to SCG. The room was spacious and well equipped . We were able to leave our bags and freshen up before a lunch event. An enjoyable stay.

Marlon
All good
Carol
Our view of Sydney harbor was spectacular. The location was good, the kitchen sufficiently stocked (even ice trays); washing facilities included….bathroom is upstairs with bedroom,,,,,staff pleasant and helpful. Basic but nice, curtains blocked out most of the light, some road noise but not too much,,,,energetic urban vibe
Andrew
Really nice people working there and high points for cleanliness. The property itself is starting to show its age a bit. First apartment the AC didn't work. They were super happy to change us to an apartment where it worked well...but the shower dripped. No parking which is a bit of an issue. No restaurant or anything like that but good location and roomy. A lot of traffic noise. Probably wouldn't book it again but good staff and they've optimized the property they have.
Justin
They called me to remind me check in was at 8pm. The place was super clean and good view

Very run down. Constant loud noise from hot water system all night. Tv worked intermittently at best. Very noisy location. Balcony was not usable

Jenna
The motel its self was very run down
Wilson
Overall good property but I’ts not family friendly. No access for prams and the room we stayed is not suitable for toddlers.
Annette
In need of an upgrade
The unit is well located and equipped, during the weekend a lot of noise from other occupants and the street noise was quite noticeable ,mind you we were on the first floor .
The building overall is in need of some upgrades, reasonably clean and comfortable nevertheless the staff were very friendly and helpful and we did enjoy our visit as we were really only in the unit to sleep.

Fantastic location, well maintained and safe property with excellent staff. It’s noisy being right in the city but ear plugs took care of that issue. Excellent value for money getting a whole apartment for the price of a motel room. Would happily stay there again!!

Property is in a great location, close to shops, dining, transport and kids activities. The room could of been cleaner ie carpet and bath towels were not always clean. Dishwasher was in apartment but no washing tablets were provided. The apartment has everything you need and the location makes up for the pitfalls.
Sally
Excellent location, bit run down no access for prams/wheelchair, kids loved it, friendly staff, great amenities
Shigeko
Very noisy throughout the night from the traffic and bar nearby. The unit had a bad odor.

I just think that the sofa bed should be upgraded.

Close to everything and a very comfortable stay
Stephen
From entering the room, the door handle was broken, the immediate smell was of someone must have urinated on the carpet. The fabric lounge was grubby, the vinyl chairs were cracked and torn. The cooktop was cracked through and dangerous for use. The aircon was spilling air that smelt dirty, upon inspection of the filter it was filthy and clogged. The bathroom had a build up of gunge around the toilet and vanity. The wardrobe was unusable to hang clothes as it had a huge hot water system in it. The toilet cistern plastic was breaking down with age and chemical use and crumbling. The double glazed sliding doors were off their track and did not seal out the noise: note: this room on level 1 overlooking one of the busiest intersections in Australia meant I got no sleep.
Marion

Great location
The location was great however the property was dated, with stains on the couch, the bathroom was dated and needed a good clean.
Bron
Spacious, clean and comfortable. Overall an enjoyable experience. Would stay again.
Kym
Great spot and the view was amazing! Its disappointing the female staff member working didn't validate my parking properly when asked to do so, so I had to pay full price parking and did not know where the convenience store was and sent us blocks away when we found one the next day 1 minute from hotel.
Robyn
Overall, the stay was fine. The toilet smelt like it hadn’t been cleaned properly for a while. .
Rizka
Dirty toilet, dirty washing machine, dirty blankets. Nice view of Darling Harbour and good location though.

Other than the covid requirement documents you need to sign, Check in was easy.. Great Customer Service. Location is great. Room 4/5, I like the loft room. It was clean.
Steve
Conveniently located
Great location very friendly and helpful front desk staff. Rooms a a little tired but that great for family's with young kids. Would stay here again!

This place is Amazing as long as you DONT have small children. There is no elevator to enter building so you need to carry a pram up a flight of stairs.
Then;
The rooms are extremely dangerous for small children as it’s a completely open floor upstairs. A child could easily fall through the massive gaps in the metal rails off both the 2nd floor &
stairs going up. We ended up sleeping on the sofa bed downstairs as we were too worried our toddler would fall over which i am surprised hasn’t happened yet.
This place is fantastic for adults, clean friendly has everything you need... It just shouldn’t allow small children in bookings in my opinion.

The property wasn’t at all clean, there was period blood all over the toilet, hair all through the bath, the couch had stains all over it, ash all over the balcony. We had a drunk tradies try to barge into our room at 2am in the morning. The balcony was tiny not enough to even have a chair, the room was very small and the staircase and balcony not at all safe for children. The only good thing was the location.
Verified traveler
The location is great, an easy walk to Cockle Bay, Darling Harbour and the city. The bathroom looked dirty and the hot water wasn’t turned on - I had to find the fuse box and found that the switch for hot water was off. Also the shower head was terrible - all spray and no water pressure. The bathroom and bed are upstairs, so not great for anyone with mobility issues. Good size kitchen and lounge area.
Verified traveler
Loved the fact that the rooms had wonderful views of darling harbour. Rooms needed some attention to detail. Bathrooms needed a good clean. The lounge was comfortable, but needed some soft pillows as the arms were uncomfotable to lean on. Aircon wonderful. Quite expensive for the two night stay. My family had a room up the street and they got discount for paying cash.
Ross
Marvelous Metro Apartments
Pleasantly surprised with the Metro Apartments on darling Harbour. Great location, very large rooms and a nice outlook over Darling harbour
Emma
Affordable family accommodation in great location
Great location, 5 mins walk to the Aquarium. Really good facilities for families - kitchen, washer/dryer, cot, foldout bed, bath/bath mat. The upstairs bedroom is an open loft style with wide spaced bannister so not suitable for children under 4. Our 18mth old stayed downstairs and we policed access to be stairs. We were on the 3rd floor and though you could hear the traffic it was fine for sleeping and the location more than outweighed the noise. The two younger guys at reception are amazing - Ariaf (sp?) was so lovely and assisted with street level access with my pram so I didn’t have to carry it up the stairs. Would stay again, thank you.
Ingrid
Very happy will stay again
Lisa
Great value, location and apartment size. Friendly staff also.
steph
Room was great for what we needed. Aircon worked but none of the controls did. Rooms were clean but not immaculate.
Laura
Location is great and size of the room is great. We made up the sofa bed for our 5 year old and found a band aid under the sheets. The spare blankets also had hair all over them. Bathroom is quite dated, meaning it felt a little dirty, but still good for the price we paid.
Somewhat poor communication from the front desk staff when we checked in. To their defense, there were a few others there checking in at the same time so they were trying to work through them quickly. They did not explain the parking to us, we saw that they had an agreement with Wilsons and had parked in a Wilson's car park less than 200m away, but found out this was the wrong one when we asked them to validate our ticket. Turns out there's another one in the other direction down the road. I feel this should be checked on check in, but was not even mentioned.

My husband and I have stayed at Metro Apartments twice this year, we absolutely love the rooms, they're somehow cosy and spacious at the same time! Always nice and clean, the staff are wonderful, very friendly and helpful.
Location is great as well, a short walk from either QVB light rail or Wynyard station so getting there is easy. Darling Harbour, Madame Tussaud's, Sea Life Aquarium, Wild Life Sydney Zoo, and all the bars and restaurants around the harbour are within view of your balcony no matter what level you're on.
If shopping is what you're in Sydney for then you're in a prime location to take a short walk to Westfield Sydney, Pitt St Mall, QVB, MidCity Shopping Centre, The Dymocks Building and The Strand Arcade.

The view was spectacular...Unit was reasonably clean. My husband had to clean the air conditioner filter when we arrived and we had to kill a cockroach which was disappointing. I think the general cleaning was very good. Staff were very friendly.

Weekend with the Grandkids
Very comfy.

Great location and price
The hotel was very conveniently located to many attractions and had a friendly staff. Room looked exactly like the pictures online. We were able to walk to parks, grocery stores, banks, restaurants, and several attractions in the Darling Harbour area. Fold out bed was not very comfortable, but no other major complaints.

Great little condo apartment with full kitchen, 5 minute walk to Darling Harbor, restaurants, Aquarium, water taxis. 3 blocks from light rail system and Queen Victoria Bldg shopping. Friendly staff

Love how close it is to Darling Harbour & even though it's at a busy intersection, the double outer doors keep the noise down.

Great location, central to everything. Good views of Darling Harbour. Bathroom in need of a deep clean or even renovation.

It's location is great, and the price is pretty good for Sydney.
However the rooms are super dated and just felt tacky. Shower was absolutely rubbish and paint coming off the hand rails etc.
Could actually be a pretty good hotel if they actually spend some money on it. but it's one of those places where you just know the owner doesn't give a crap and is happy to run it into the ground before changing anything.

Excellent
We enjoyed our resent stay at metro apt. Walking distance to darling harbour and many restaurants and markets. Apt was wonderful and comfortable. Staff was very friendly and assisted us with all of our requests and questions about the city and how to get around. I would recommend this apt for anyone coming to Sydney

Dont stay here if using a pram, especially if you are on your own! Only entrance to the building has a steep flight of stairs and no ramp. Also if using their crib bring your own cot sheet, they only supply normal bed sheets for it, not sids safe at all. Other than that the unit was nice enough and an easy stroll to the boardwalk.

Great location and very clean and tidy. The club noise can be heard but not to an extent that my two kids 2 and 5 couldn't sleep so that was great too!
Bath was missing a plug but kids loved being allowed to have a shower

A must place to stay
Could not fault our stay, beautiful views and amazing apartment. Close to everything. Only fault was we didn't book for longer.

Down fall is that from 9pm onwards it gets really loud from the drunk crowds outside shouting so if you are looking for low level noise so you can fall asleep this may not be suitable location but if you don't mind the noise its ideally within walking distance to Darling Harbour

Location was great. Room was shabby and dirty looking, furnishings were ripped.
terrie
old and shabby. right next to highway so its extremely noisy. one elevator was working but uneasy. some staff were ok but most made you feel like youre staying at a cheap backpackers

Great location! Great price!!
Great location, minutes walk to Darling Harbour & very reasonably priced. This is a fairly old building but has had some minor renos done at some stage. Staff are friendly and welcoming, apartment serviced daily & spacious living area. Loved going to sleep with the lights of Darling Harbour from the mezzanine floor bedroom (not safe if you have small children). Bed was very comfortable and bathroom has bath as well as washer & dryer. Downside is it can get very stuffy in the raised bedroom but an air conditioner is installed. Definitely stay there again!.

Great location. Did not like layout. Needed better cleaning. Had about 10 steps to enter building, hard with suitcases.
