"We stayed in this hotel for a few nights a month ago, then came back for another 1 night stay. The room was cozy and clean and offered a great view to the Harbour."

The lovely lady gave us our key and showed us how to exit and enter the building."

"Exceptional service from start to finish. I am currently staying here for a work trip, having previously stayed just a month ago. The receptionist who checked me in was fantastic and actually remembered me from my last stay, recalling how he had helped mind our bags. That level of personal touch and stellar communication is exactly why I didn't hesitate to book here again. A truly wonderful experience - I'm looking forward to my next stay this coming Friday!"

"A great, centrally located spot within easy walking distance of Darling Harbour and the CBD. Zac, the staff member who assisted us, was excellent from check-in through to check-out, friendly, helpful, and very accommodating of our requests.

The room was comfortable and well equipped, providing everything we needed for our stay. The only minor drawback was some street noise at night, though this is understandable given the central location.

Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay and would happily book here again in the future."

"I had a fantastic stay at Metro Apartments on Darling Harbour! The location is absolutely unbeatable—just a short walk to the waterfront, great restaurants, and major attractions. The apartment was spacious, impeccably clean, and felt like a home away from home. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout my stay. Highly recommended for anyone looking for comfort and convenience in the heart of the city!"

"Great location in Darling Harbour. The staff were very helpful and professional. The apartment layout was pretty good, with the loft etc and nice big windows. Kitchen provisions were more than adequate."

"I had a really comfortable stay at Metro Apartments on Darling Harbour. The place has a warm, homey feel that made it easy to settle in. Everything in the room worked as expected, and the bed and linens were clean and comfortable, which I really appreciated after long days out.

I didn't end up using the kitchen, but it had everything you might need if you wanted to cook. The daily mini servicing of the room made a big difference in keeping the space fresh and comfortable throughout my stay.

Having a loft layout with large windows brought in lots of natural light and made the space feel nice and open. Overall, I had a great stay and I'd happily come back to Metro apartments."

"I recently stayed at the Metro Apartments on Darling Harbour, and if you are looking for convenience and a 'home away from home" feel, this is a fantastic choice:

The Highlights:
• Location, Location, Location: You are literally steps away from Darling Harbour, the Sea Life Aquarium, and King Street Wharf. It’s also an easy walk to Wynyard Station and the CBD.
• The View: We stayed in one of the loft-style apartments, and the view of the harbor was stunning, especially at night.
• Spaciousness: Unlike cramped hotel rooms, having a separate living area and a small kitchenette made the stay much more comfortable for a multi-day trip.
• Value: For this part of Sydney, the price point is very competitive.
• Service: A shoutout to Zach, who was really nice and helpful."

"My stay at these apartments was nothing but amazing. The staff are so welcoming and friendly, even allowed me to check in early as I arrived very early, held my bags for me while they prepared the room and gave me complimentary waters for while I waited. The room was great, all amenities you could need just perfect for a little stay. I was here for 4 nights during the week so the street sounds didn't bother me, and right on Darling Harbour the location was perfect."

"The location of these apartments is terrific - we had a great view of Darling Harbour. And the value for the size of the room combined with the location is excellent. But the real recommendation for the Metro are the lovely staff - Cody was so nice and helpful, he went above and beyond and made what had been a stressful travel situation much easier."

"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 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."
