Well from the advertisement picture to actually the room there are very different pictures completely and then there was bloody the TV someone was playing around and x-rated stuff kept on coming up on my TV screen but otherwise it was alright it was just somewhere to lay your head
We wanted a place to stay that was comfortable, but not upmarket. It was close to everything & suited our needs. It was clean, staff were friendly and we could cook meals when required.
We were glad we chose The Met Hotel.

Definitely put a small fridge , a chair and a small table in each room , not a good idea sharing one fridge with 17 rooms .
This would not cost much . At $70 a night , believe it or not it’s actually over priced for what you currently get.
A room for a week should be no more than $250 at this premises . It’s an ok deal for someone who is on the dole or struggling , a lot better than the street .
The manager / cleaner was very pleasant and helpful , the owners are lucky to have her .
Dark entry point at rear of property, beside carpark, makes you very uncomfortable trying to enter at night. Photo of room on website, is nothing like actual room. This place surely does not meet fire safety code! Share kitchen was disgusting, lucky all my vacs are up to date!
Shared bathroom facilities were clean as was the room but the kitchen facilities were dirty with no clean cups in the cupboard (put away uncleaned) and no alternative (paper cups) available.
Bed was terrible. Shared toilet facilities were dirty as was the tea/coffee making facilities
Definitely not what is shown in the photos.
Entry via side alley with narrow steep stairs to upstairs accommodation
No entry to actual pub available
It was difficult to get into the building, which was shut. A phone number was listed. The entrance was in a narrow lane with key safe boxes. The hotel itself was closed up and not operational. The bedrooms were clean and linen clean. The one common toilet and one common shower were dirty and unusable. What is on your website should be removed as it gives a bad name to you company. Someone should visit. I would recommend that you do not deal with this property. Thank you for the opportunity to share our experience

It was dingy, hard to find how to get in, I have photos of the grossest sink and bath I have ever used, I was next to the men’s toilet and bathroom which were used late and very early this morning so interrupting sleep. The woman who came to let me in was friendly. I didn’t check the ratings so I guess it’s my bad. I did try to find another hotel after I saw it but couldn’t find one.

It was an old hotel, but apart from one very large cockroach, it was very clean. You need to realise that these cockroaches fly in and the window was open. I would definitely stay there again during the Carnival of Flowers. For just an overnight stay it was fine.
