“Metro Hotel Marlow in Sydney's central district is a practical choice, especially for theatregoers, given its proximity to Capitol Theatre; I noted positive comments about the convenience for early train departures, though some found the single beds a bit unstable. The location puts you near Chinatown and major transit, making it easy to explore, but be mindful of taxi fares from the airport-rideshares seem more reliable. Overall, it's a strategically located base with some quirks.”

Acceptable Stay, BUT problematic refund

hidden pre-chargeslow refund

The hotel is decent, a budget option I would say. Rooms are what you expect, not terrible, not great. BUT, add $100 because there's a pre-charge for incidentals they hide. I was told the refund would be done when I checked out, but four days later, nothing happened. I called and was told it could take up to 15 days. This was not what I was told at check-in! Now it's been 15 days. I just learned they JUST released the charge, and it COULD take another 15 days. what a JOKE.
