“A great location for our purposes. Our suite was spacious and comfortable. It was good to have opening windows for fresh air. The lounge air conditioner was not working. Curtains and blinds opening and closing mechanisms needed some maintenance. Cutlery and crockery supplies too minimal. The bed needed a new doona. Car parking facilities on site were excellent. A safe in the room would be a good addition. However we enjoyed our stay and have rebooked for another visit within the next fortnight. The room cost is reasonable. It was good to see the addition the onsite cafe open and operating since our last visit. The staff were friendly and helpful.”

“Great location, the room is huge & they gave us an upgrade to a spa room. Service fantastic. Whilst a great stay, I couldn't give 5 stars due to the place needing a bit of a freshen up; a good paint & scrub especially the skirtings, door frames & a new kettle. I would stay again especially as the price was good.”

“What a great venue. The customer service is exceptional. The location is brilliant / so close to everything and the price was very reasonable. The restaurant was great - we had dinner and also breakfast there and everything was delicious. The rooms are massive - we had a 2 bedroom one. The lounge was so big and bedrooms were huge. Although it’s dated, there are renovations taking place - so be good to see it freshened up. We will be back for sure.”

“I enjoyed the space and location of the Melbourne Metropole, however I did go out and buy some cleaning materials as it felt a little dirty. Needs a good once over, including doors and windows, would make such a difference. Overall a lovely stay and the cafe attached had great value, friendly service and awesome coffee. A great way to start the morning. Thank you”

“After booking the accommodation I received text correspondence outlining my requirement for check in and registration. I was arriving after the front desk would be closed so I was provided with the after hours procedure for collecting my key and car park arrangements. The room was clean, roomy and very comfortable for myself. The shower was hot, and the blinds allowed the room to remain dark in the morning. The bed was firm and very comfortable. I greeted the desk staff in the morning, they explained the parking sheet to be display on the car dash, no drama with any of that. I checked out on day 3 and the desk staff remembered me by name, which was a gesture.the location was very close to family which made the stay even easier. I have to return to Melbourne un a couple of weeks and will book my stay here.”
