What guests think

Reviews of Metropolitan Hotel describe a centrally located heritage pub stay with friendly staff and budget-friendly rooms, but experiences vary widely, with praise for comfort and meals alongside complaints about noise and cleanliness.

Some rooms use shared bathrooms and the setup is older and simple. A few reviews mention maintenance concerns, such as loose tapware or missing hooks. A small number struggled with entry codes and felt responses to complaints could be better. Expect a basic, budget pub stay in a central location.

The system to get into the room was not working after 3 different codes. Wotif did not advertise that it was a shared bathroom. Would not have booked had I know. Drove home at 11pm. Fire hazard no escape route from room 30

Took the cheapest option - a single room upstairs in the old pub building - comfortable, clean and quiet (on a Thursday night) with shared bathroom facilities. Good dining options, friendly staff and effective wifi. All-round decent value for money

There were a number of rooms requiring a shared bathroom, but the only female bathroom had only two toilets and one shower. There was also a restaurant at the end of the corridor. It is not known whether the bathroom also served customers of the restaurant.

was a little dubious about the hotel when I walked in as the lobby area looked very "unfinished" However I needn't have worried, it was part of the "look". The bedroom was excellent and the shared facilities top class. As it's above the bar don't be surprised if there is some noise from downstairs and if you look out over the veranda expect to hear noise from the kitchen which is on the veranda! Having tried the bar food and range of beers I can thoughrly recommend both. Pity they don't do breakfast but there are a couple of excellent coffee shops in walking distance.

The carpet was.not vaccumed properly. It stated on the web page rooms serviced daily but that didn't happen. Some of the tapware in the toilets/ shower areas loose and not working properly.

The time I stayed somewhere worse was in 1990 in San Francisco. It was a motel room with wet carpet and a foul smell. The Metropolitan's carpet wasn't wet, but it was dirty and hadn't been vacuumed in days, possibly weeks. It did have a bad smell, and opening the window wasn't an option as it opened onto a closed-in balcony, with tables and chairs that anyone could use. There was nothing in the room apart from a bed, an old two-seater and a crooked TV. I can imagine in their day the shared bathrooms were nice, and brass tapware goes a long way, but not far enough to make up for so many other shortcomings. The Metropolitan is a classic example of false-economy, the damage to my psych was far greater than the difference between the Metropolitan and any other motel in town. Sorry, but it's true. They should either close these rooms or give the whole floor a complete makeover.

Friendly and helpful staff. However, a bit more attention to room hygiene is appreciated. I hope the red stain on the bed throw blanket was just ketchup.

On my first night there was a dart party outside my room. The darts were hitting the outside wall of my room. This party went on until 11pm. When I complained I was told you are in a Hotel It's something you have to deal with. That's I was out of line to complain !?
