Our family of 4 stayed in this hotel for couple of days over Christmas holiday, the room was great so we had to stay longer. The location wise, it is right on the Darling Harbour. It is only 5 minute walk from the Sydney Aquarium and the Monorail. Our car had to be parked at a parking lot about 200m... More

We were greeted to a bad odour when we first entered the room that didnt go away. The room itself was more a 2 star level. The only good thing was the view- views were outstanding of Darling Harbour. More

Arrived at the hotel traversed the steep staircase with luggage. Was greeted by a lovely friendly gentlemen. Arrived at 6th floor studio/loft room. Clean, tidy, great views. The bed was comfortable, the shower hot, clean sheets, clean towels. Easy short walk to Darling Harbour and King St Wharf restaurants. Was a little noisy with the Chinese Laundry nightclub, kicking off... More

We booked an eight night stay at these apartments. After having read the reviews we opened the door with trepidation. Granted the apartment we were allocated needed a coat of paint & the kitchen & bathroom need brought up to date. That said the apartment was spotlessly clean, the carpet looked relatively new & the bed was really comfortable. There... More

Before arriving at our accommodation I contacted Metro Apartments to see if they had single level rooms due to having a 3 year old and an 8 month old. The person found our booking and advised us that we did have a single level room only to find on arrival the entire hotel was mezzanine type rooms. Very dangerous for... More

Thank you for taking the time to review our Apartments. As you mentioned all the apartments are two storey mezzanine level apartments. On all our websites and correspondence to travel agents and guests we discourage young children due to the stairs within the apartments. We encourage our guests to stay at our apartments across the road at Metro Apartments on... More

Myself and 2 others stayed on a saturday and sunday night recently due to a music festival. Location is good with plenty of shops and bars around, and you dont have to walk far to find resturants and other sightseeing activities.We stayed on the 1st floor overlooking the intersection and it was interesting watching all the people walking around and...

Sydney is all about location, location, location - and harbour views. On that basis, the Metro On Darling gets a high rating. Corner of Sussex and King, right across the road from the Slip Inn (where Mary met Frederick, in case you know your Australian-Danish royalty), and with fantastic views over Darling Harbour towards the Pyrmont side. Also, walking distance... More

We stayed at this hotel upon returning from a cruise. We needed one night before flying home. We arrived early back into Sydney (before 10am) and upon our arrival at the apartment were immediately welcomed. The staff were very friendly and accomodating. We had heaps of luggage and walking up the front stairs didn't make me happy - no ramp.... More

The carpet was replaced to all apartments and I have inspected all of them and can’t find any shabby carpets. The bathrooms where all renovated last year so I can’t see hoe they are old. The tall...

I was pleased with my stay at these apartments, mainly because I had a room on a high floor. During my stay there were roadworks directly outside which were INCREDIBLY noisy, and I dread to think what guests in lower floor rooms were going through. This can hardly be blamed on the hotel of course, but it does illustrate that... More
