Detailed Reviews
I’ve stayed at Metro twice. Their staff are helpful and friendly. The rooms are kept clean and well stocked with towels and essentially like tea, coffee, milk. I also like the fact they don’t use small plastic shampoos and conditioners which are wasteful. The dispensers for soap and these items are much more efficient. The building has security whereby you can’t get up in the lifts without a tag as well as locked front doors late in the evening which again can only be assessed with a key-tag. The location is a few steps from a bus stop and a few steps more to a major supermarket.

Very comfortable and well equipped accommodation in a brilliant location. The kitchen area had all the utelsils that I needed for cooking and the washer and dryer were very handy. All in all Metro Advance is very comfortable and the location makes it good value for money.

7 night stay in a 2 bedroom family apartment. Third floor corner location. Perfect for afternoon sunsets on the balcony. Twin bed mattresses and/or bed bases noisy with any kind of movement. Kitchen set up good but instruction manuals for dishwasher and oven would be useful. A container to hold the cutlery in the one place in the dishwasher is necessary. Knives, forks, spoons falling through the racks to the bottom of the machine which could create a mechanical problem if any should impact with the spinning washer blades. Housekeeping should check remotes for fans and TV as batteries dead but Reception replaced them. Pool towels sadly lacking in appeal. We likened them to reject bath towels (ours were a faded mauve colour and not long enough to cover a sun lounge. To gain entry to security undercover parking you have to alight from your vehicle to place the apartment door/security gate card against the panel to activate the sliding gate. Too bad if there is an unforeseen thunderstorm. To exit, the gate slides open automatically. Metro charge $10 per day for carparking. Overall we had an enjoyable stay, having a hire car at our disposal is necessary to sightsee the region. A lot of hire car operations limit to a maximum 100kms per day. We used Sixt for unlimited kilometres and a 25% discount for RACQ members.

I will start off with the good. Stayed here for 2 weeks for work. The staffs are friendly and helpful and the location is by far its best features, close to supermarket, public transport and walk able distance to all restaurants and bars. The price was not that expensive for a studio apartment BUT lucky for me that work pays for it cause this apartment is not up to the standards of other Metro Hotels. It is dated and old. It seriously need a good update on everything. The first week of my stay, the carpet was not clean and mold stain was in the bathroom with light fittings and exhaust fan held by taped. The ceiling fan is old and loud and looks like its about the fall off the ceiling anytime onto the bed. The foxtel channels in my room disconnect then reconnects with missing channels and disappeared entirely. Had to let the front desk know to get it rectify. Lucky I don't spend a lot of time in the apartment due to busy with work. If you could spend a little bit more, get a better apartment or wait till Metro Darwin decides to update the room.

Very comfortable one bedroom apartment that came with both a washing machine and dryer with laundry powder supplied, a very nice surprise. The kitchen had everything needed, a little dining area and lounge, very comfortable. The only downside was the lack of a view, all I could see was the pool and other high rise but given the location it's expected. For some reason the door onto the little verandah was locked and a key hadn't been provided. As I was there only one night, I didn't bother enquiring. A very nice unit in a great location.

In theory this place should be good but it is in need of a lot of basic maintenance. I am staying here for two weeks and asked for a room change after the first night. I don't recommend the rooms from say 2022 to 2028 as they are opposite the woolies loading dock and the garbage collection and are very noisey.
In the first room, I had a shower screen crack that was taped up, it needed painting around where the air conditioner used to be and the verandah door handle / lock was in dire straights. On top of that, it had an adjoining room which was not my booking but you could hear evey word as if they were in the lounge room with you.
This new room is much quieter but it literally has no light fitting (it was there previously) in the lounge room, the fan in the bathroom doesn't work, the light in the hall doesn't work and they asked if I minded having a bedside lamp on only one side of the bed.
As others have said the shower is over the bath, it is a big step in and no rails anywhere to hold for balance.
Finally, and it is a little thing, you have to get out of the car to tap your card to enter the carpark. As a single female, I feel a little vunerable doing ths and never know whether to lock the car, leave the car running and dash for it etc.
Staff are friendly and helpful and it could be excellent if the owners just kept up with some basic maintenance.

Stayed for 2 weeks in a studio apartment.
Hotel looking a little tired, but in a pretty good location (Woolworths 100m away) but no views.
Staff were very good with room lightly serviced almost every day ( new sheets every 3-4 days) and towels as needed. Room supplies of tea/coffee and toilet paper restocked daily.
Pool area was good but pool stairs would allow easier access than the current pool ladders.

Mainly very good accommodation. The oven had not been cleaned so we chose not to use and notified receptionist as we did not wish to be accountable for such at end of our stay. Also on list of items in the unit was a telephone and alarm clock which were absent and notified as well.

Excellent value for the room. The room was clean and had more amenities than I expected. When I arrived, the air was on (briliant) and the room was SO BIG!!!!! Also, a plus, for just $10/night, you can park your car in their private carpark underground. Such a game changer for Darwin especially in the heat. Aircon cooled car so fast with it being underground in their secure carpark. I will definitely return.

Hi I don't know exactly but it's relatively high. Service vans ECT fit easy. Unless you have a truck, you should be fine.
Yes. The Wi-Fi is free and I found it to be fast and reliable during my stay.
