Location,Value for Money - Guest Review of Metro Apartments on Bank Place, Melbourne

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Metro. - Guest A McLoed 

Considering we were staying during a peak period we felt we got the best deal for value for money but more than that the service at the front desk was friendly and efficient with the concierge ready with suggestions for places to see and how to get around.

Our one bedroom apartment was the perfect size, very well equipped with bedroom, bathroom, cooking and laundry facilities. All clean and the Hotel is extremely well located.

We will definitely be returning and we will be recommending the place as an ideal base for people visiting Melbourne.

Thank you to everyone at the hotel for making is very welcome and comfortable.
