Metropol 3 • Comfy• Luxury• Central • Free Parking Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Metropol 3 • Comfy• Luxury• Central • Free Parking on Boolee Street, I’ll be honest — the name pretty much tells you everything you need to know about this place. It’s one of those straightforward accommodations that doesn’t try to be something it’s not, and honestly, that’s refreshing in Canberra where you sometimes pay premium prices for basic comfort. The building has that practical Australian aesthetic, and you can immediately tell this is a place that prioritizes function over flash.

Location & Neighborhood

The location is actually fantastic, especially if you’re exploring Canberra as a couple — recent guests have rated it 9.4 for two-person trips, and I can see why. Boolee Street puts you right in the thick of things without the chaos you’d find in Sydney or Melbourne. You’re walking distance to the main attractions, which in Canberra means you can easily hit Parliament House, the National Gallery, and Lake Burley Griffin without needing to navigate the sometimes confusing bus routes. The neighborhood has that clean, planned feel that Canberra is known for, with wide streets and plenty of green spaces nearby.

The Practical Stuff

Here’s where this place really shines — they’ve got free private parking on site, which is honestly a game-changer in any Australian city center. I mean, you know how parking can eat into your travel budget, especially when you’re trying to explore multiple spots around the capital. The rooms live up to the “comfy” promise in the name, with everything you actually need rather than a bunch of extras you’ll never use. The setup is clean and functional, perfect for travelers who want a good night’s sleep and a place to recharge between sightseeing adventures.

The Experience

What struck me most about staying here was how it caters to people who actually want to experience Canberra rather than just crash somewhere. The central location means you’re not spending half your day getting to and from attractions — you can walk to morning coffee, pop back to drop off shopping bags, then head out for dinner without it being a major production. The staff seems to get that most guests are here to explore the city, so they’re helpful with directions and recommendations without being pushy about it.

Why Guests Love It

This isn’t the kind of place you’ll Instagram for its stunning design, but it’s exactly what you want when you’re focused on exploring Australia’s capital. The combination of that prime location, free parking, and genuine comfort creates a solid base for your Canberra adventure. Couples especially seem to appreciate how easy it makes getting around together — no arguing about parking or long walks back to your room after a day of museums and galleries. It’s the kind of practical choice that lets you spend your money on experiences rather than accommodation extras you don’t really need.

Many travelers prefer to book apartments in Canberra through trusted local agencies that provide insider knowledge about the best districts for experiencing the city’s political atmosphere and natural beauty.

Reviews of Metropol 3 • Comfy• Luxury• Central • Free Parking

• Great apartment, would definitely stay again – Martin from Australia – 9 June 2025 (10/10)

  It was extremely comfortable, and we appreciated it being dark and quiet. The location was fantastic
  
  What could be improved: It was hard to locate the lock box

• Enjoyed my stay in Canberra in a flat that suited our needs well. – Ramon from Australia – 27 May 2025 (9/10)

  Location was great for a city stay
  
  What could be improved: Getting the key was complicated and ended up involving a call to the host. The method of communicating the location of the key lead to not understanding what needed to be done (in a different building on a separate street, behind another flat's front gate in a shed, in a key lock). A photo of the flat was sent in a message, however the critical information on getting the key was not in what seemed to be just the one picture but various pictures in and consequently missed. There has to be a more fool proof way of doing it.

• Highly recommended – Amanda from New Zealand – 17 May 2025 (10/10)

  The apartment was great. There was heaps of space and the kitchen was very well-equipped. It was really handy having a washing machine as well. The process to pick up the keys and access the apartment was very complicated but detailed instructions were provided. Communication prior to arrival was excellent.
  
  What could be improved: There was no available street parking that we could use temporarily while we picked up the keys, so we had to park illegally in a permit-only area. There was some road noise.

• We enjoyed our 3 night stay very much and would certainly rebook should we return to Canberra – Jill from Australia – 17 April 2025 (9/10)

  You can't beat the location. We stayed for 3 nights and found the apartment to be well appointed with an ample supply of coffee, tea, condiments and filtered water in the fridge. The apartment in general is very well appointed located on the 3rd floor. The bed was very comfortable. It is located across the road from a park, shopping centre and restaurants. Hosts provide a very detailed self check in procedure for key collection and the use of the secure underground car park. We found them to be very friendly and helpful.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing

• Unbelievably great. Best accommodation around! Wonderful location. – Lesley from United Kingdom – 1 December 2024 (10/10)

  Incredibly well and expensively equipped. Very stylish and comfortable. Slept very well in excellent bed. So thoughtfully provisioned e.g varieties of milk and tea, capsules for the Nespresso machine, shampoo, conditioner etc etc.. Cannot be faulted. Will recommend to everyone.
  
  What could be improved: Arrived in a downpour and got soaked finding the key locker. Directions for this need improvement. A passer by helped me find the key locker.
