A nice hotel in a handy location
Pros:

Being 'out-of-towners' we mostly pick the Metro for short visits to Sydney. The location is great and short walking distance to transport options. Pricing is always competitive. Although just one block in from busy Harris Street, it is very quiet. Checking in and out is fuss free and the rooms are very pleasant. Staff have always been friendly and helpful.

对待不会英文的顾客，是不是该有个英文翻译器啥的，以便接待服务各国国家的人
