Metropolitan 70 Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Metropolitan 70 on Edinburgh Avenue, you immediately get the sense that this isn’t your typical hotel — and honestly, that’s exactly what makes it special. The building has this understated elegance that fits perfectly with Canberra‘s sophisticated vibe, without trying too hard to impress. I mean, when a place consistently earns a 9.2 rating from guests, you know they’re doing something right. This five-star property delivers on every front.

The Perfect Canberra Address

Here’s what I love about the location — Edinburgh Avenue puts you right in the heart of things without the chaos you’d find in other capital cities. You’re actually within walking distance of some of Canberra’s best dining spots, and the Parliamentary Triangle is just a short stroll away. The fact that recent guests rated the location 9.6 out of 10 tells you everything you need to know. Couples particularly seem to fall for this area, and I can see why — there’s something romantic about those tree-lined streets and the way the city unfolds around you.

What Sets It Apart

You know what struck me most about Metropolitan 70? It’s the attention to detail that you don’t always expect from boutique accommodations. Each room feels thoughtfully designed rather than cookie-cutter corporate, and there’s this genuine warmth to the service that makes you feel like more than just another booking number. The staff actually seem to know the neighborhood — they’ll point you toward that little café around the corner or suggest the best route for your morning jog around Lake Burley Griffin. The kitchen facilities are modern and well-appointed for those who prefer to prepare their own meals.

The Canberra Experience

What I really appreciate is how this place connects you to Canberra’s unique character. You’re close enough to the political heart of Australia to feel that energy, but far enough from the tourist crowds to experience the city like locals do. The nearby Barton and Kingston precincts offer some seriously good restaurant options — and trust me, Canberra’s food scene will surprise you if you haven’t been here lately. There’s also convenient parking available, which honestly makes a huge difference when you’re exploring a city that’s more spread out than most.

Why Guests Love It

The consistently high ratings don’t lie — this place just works. Whether you’re here for business meetings in the parliamentary district or exploring Canberra’s cultural attractions, Metropolitan 70 gives you that perfect balance of comfort and location. The fact that couples rate it so highly speaks to the intimate, welcoming atmosphere they’ve created. It’s not flashy or over-the-top, but sometimes that’s exactly what you want — a place that feels like a genuine home base while you discover what makes Australia’s capital so unexpectedly charming. The spa and wellness facilities add another layer of relaxation to your stay.

    Spacious and well appointed

  • Great weekend getaway. – Kristy from Australia – 9 December 2024 (10/10)

    Modern apartment, close to shops and food.

    What could be improved: The tech in the apartment was a bit temperamental.

  • Exceptional – Nicole from Australia – 11 November 2024 (10/10)

  • Modern elegance, futuristic tech and lovely apartment with amazing facilities – Rebekah from Australia – 8 November 2024 (9/10)

    The apartment is super modern, a little hard to get used to the technology but fun when we worked it out. The QR codes don't give information about the pool area, we had to find it for ourselves after a lot of work. It's a beautiful apartment though, great kitchen setup, has everything you need.

    What could be improved: Instructions for remotes, pool access, a welcome book with dummies guide 🙂

  • The apartment is lovely, but there is no point having a smart apartment if the controls don’t work. It was extremely fru – Marisa from Australia – 21 April 2024 (5/10)

    The apartment is clean, well maintained and appointed.

    What could be improved: 4 out of the 5 remote controls didn’t work. The remaining remote was very sketchy. The main bedroom bed head lights randomly turned on and off by themselves at 12.30am and wouldn’t stop and the blind went up and down when no one was touching the controls.
    It was extremely frustrating and instead of having a relaxing holiday we had to battle the technology.
    I had to go and buy a plug for the bath.

  • Exceptional – Michael from Australia – 16 December 2023 (10/10)

    Overall fantastic

    What could be improved: Spiders on balconies
    Main bedroom mattress needs replacing

  • Very good – Guido from Italy – 31 October 2023 (8/10)

    Ottimo appartamento, spazioso, molto ben arredato, con due posti auto nel garage, vicino al campus dell'università e con una bella vista sulla città

    What could be improved: Il luogo dove ritirare e restituire le chiavi è molto lontano dall'appartamento e l'agenzia che gestisce l'appartamento non è stata in grado di offrire un'alternativa più comoda per la restituzione delle chiavi.
