“Lions Tour stay in Sydney”
Twenty one of us stayed at the Metro for a week during this leg of the British Lions tour to Australia. We were made welcome by the helpful reception staff who quickly sorted keys etc for the group. The rooms were clean and well equipped and met all our requiremnets. Our "deal" did not include brekafast but Dave the restaurant manager soon made us feel at home. The food was basic but plentiful and it certainly fulfilled our needs. The cost too was surprisngly less than the extortionate prices we had experienced in Melbourne.
The hotel is ideally situated and is within walking distance of the main sites tourists are likely to visit. There are also plenty of pubs and eating places locally. Be careful though. There are two Metro Hotels on Pitt Street which the taxi drivers often found confusing. This hotel would be ideal for all but the most demanding visitors. A bit pricey but it still represented good value for money. The arrangements were made for us by an Australian agency -Travel by Tracey- which is run by a very approachable and kind ex pat Welsh lady who hails from Bridgend. What more needs to be said!
