I had a great stay overall, thanks to the convenient location near all the attractions and restaurants. The room was comfortable and had everything I needed, but I did experience some noise at night due to the nearby nightlife. The staff were friendly and helpful, which added to the positive vibe of the stay.

My one-bedroom apartment was cozy and well-equipped, though the bed could use a new mattress as it sagged a bit. The shower was a highlight, really nice and hot. Just had a bit of noise from the street sometimes.

The staff were genuinely lovely and went out of their way to help. I felt welcomed and well taken care of during my stay.

The location was super convenient, within walking distance of shops, restaurants, and even Marvel Stadium. It was buzzing with activity but be prepared for some noise, especially on weekends.

The facilities were decent, with everything needed for a comfortable stay, but the place could use a deep clean and maybe some updates to appliances.

During my stay at Metro Apartments on Bank Place, I appreciated the excellent location, as it was within easy walking distance to key attractions in Melbourne. However, I was disappointed with the room size and cleanliness, and the bed was not comfortable. The management could also improve their payment system, as I faced issues checking in due to their outdated eftpos machine.

Rooms

I booked a Compact Queen Room, which was quite small and not as advertised on the website. It had a small fridge, kettle, and toaster, but I needed an extension cord to plug them in. The air conditioning dropped black flakes when on, which was concerning.

Service

6.0

The reception staff were polite and friendly, which made the check-in process smoother despite my payment issues. However, management could do better regarding customer service protocols.

Location

8.0

The hotel’s location was fantastic, just a 10-minute walk from Southern Cross Station and near tram lines. It was convenient to explore the city, even if it was noisy at night due to the nearby nightclub.

Dining

6.0

There are many cafes around, but the hotel itself didn't offer much for dining beyond small meal options. I often went out to eat during my stay.

Facilities

5.0

While the hotel offers some useful facilities, like laundry and ticket assistance, I found the room services lacking, especially as ours wasn't serviced during our stay unless a fee was paid.

I had mixed feelings about my stay at Metro Apartments on Bank Place. The location was excellent, with plenty of cafes and bars nearby, making it perfect for city exploration. However, the noise levels were a real issue, especially with rubbish collection early in the morning and the proximity to a nightclub. The room was adequate, but it could definitely use some deep cleaning to improve overall comfort.

Rooms

5.0

The room was small and cramped, almost like a pantry. It needed better maintenance; it had visible signs of damp and mold. I also experienced bites during my stay, which was concerning.

Service

5.0

The check-in process was pretty rocky, and the lack of communication was frustrating. However, the lady at reception was kind enough to let me store my bags for a while.

Location

8.0

The location is a major plus, just steps away from plenty of dining and nightlife options. It was easy to get around, but the noise at night and early morning was disruptive.

Dining

7.0

There were plenty of options around for dining; I found a couple of great cafes and bars nearby. Grilled dishes seemed to be a common theme in the area, which was nice.

Facilities

5.0

Basic facilities were available, but the internet speed was a downside for anyone planning to work. The place could use some upgrades and a deep clean to enhance the guest experience.

During my stay at Metro Apartments on Bank Place, I appreciated the central location and cleanliness of the apartment. However, the incessant noise from the nearby nightclub made it difficult to get any sleep. The combination of great facilities and a vibrant atmosphere is somewhat overshadowed by the lack of peace at night.

Rooms

This place is perfectly situated in the cbd (central business district) with plenty of cafes and restaurants nearby. However, it's just steps away from a nightclub that kept me awake until the early hours.

I had a mixed experience at Metro Apartments on Bank Place. The location is fantastic, with plenty of restaurants and public transport nearby, but the noise from a nightclub was disturbing. Additionally, while the apartment had great amenities, I encountered some cleanliness issues during my stay that were disappointing.

Rooms

7.0

The apartment was well-equipped with a kitchen and had a comfortable queen bed. However, I noticed that while the surfaces were clean, there was a distinct buildup of dirt in the bathroom, and the carpet could have used a deeper clean.

Service

7.0

The staff were friendly and offered assistance with directions which was helpful. I had no issues with checking in or out, but I did feel their response to my concerns about noise wasn’t adequate.

Location

8.0

Absolutely loved the location! It’s central, with great restaurants and cafes just a short walk away. However, being near a nightclub meant I experienced some noise issues, especially on a Saturday night.

Dining

8.0

There are fantastic dining options within walking distance, including the Curry Vault, which was excellent. However, I wish there were more quieter spots for more relaxed dining.

Facilities

7.0

The apartment included all essential facilities like a laundry machine and a dishwasher, which made my stay much more comfortable. Still, I did find the noise from the nightclub overshadowed the convenience of these amenities.
