Stayed in this hotel a few years ago. I checked into the hotel as I came in an early wee morning 9 hours flight. I could not opened my eyes for lack of sleep & the hotel reception was kind enough to let me check in earlier than usual. As soon as I saw the clean & comfortable bed, I fell into a deep sleep oblivious what was happening around me.It was a good location & China Town was just a stone throw away.Price was also reasonable.

Metro Hotel central is located near a majority of "backpacker hotels" and the surrounding area on Google Earth appears a tad on the "rough side". But do not be "put off" by the photos on Google. This is a safe area to be in at night. After reading other Tripadvisor reviews I decided upon the Metro Hotel Central and the choice was perfect for our trip. Value priced for Sydney, centrally located with super easy access to buses, trains, light-rail and the subway. Walking distance to many points of interest and right across the street from the Capitol Theater. The Hotel and our room was clean, comfortable with modern stylish decor and decently appointed rooms including a room safe, small refrigerator and a kettle. Although a microwave oven would have been a helpful addition.
I had little interaction with the staff during my two week stay, but when I did, they were friendly and helpful. Breakfast is available for an additional charge.
Thumbs-up: value, location
Thumbs-down: no microwave, charge for internet access
Room Tip: Ask for an upper floor
