Metropol Hotel

Clean room, great breakfest

No air conditioning - it was very hot in the room, especially in the bathroom . There are too few parking spaces in the hotel property. In our opinion an option for parking should not be mentioned as bonus in hotel description, as explained at reception - there is rarely a case when they can offer a parking slot within the arrival. Also they were not interested in helping us out to find parking space near the hotel.

I did not expect much from this hotel, but it turned out to be quite nice. Our room looked very modern, like it was renovated recently. Very clean as well, and comfy bed. Same for the bathroom, which had a nice shower. Staff was very friendly and professional, the guy at the reception moved us to another room with a double bed, which was an upgrade from the room with two separate beds we initially booked. Breakfast was great. Good selection and good quality. Also, the hotel is located very centrally and you will reach everything quickly from there. There are bus stops, a train station and the metro nearby. The culture palace is directly opposite. This is a larger hotel, and they hat security cameras apparently on each level to monitor who is getting in, which I liked.

Our room got really really warm (it was in August, but actually not that hot outside), but there is no air conditioning, only a fan. You really cannot open the window for long to let fresh air in, as the hotel is located directly at a central traffic hub and the sound from cars, motorcycles, ambulances, trams etc is quite unbearable, in particular at night. Sleeping with an open window is hence not possible. The room service did provide us with two small bottles of free water each day, which is nice, but not nearly enough to keep us hydrated. If you are staying at this hotel, I´d recommend to get one 1.5l bottle of water per person for the night. Also ear plugs are a good idea. All in all, I would consider staying at this hotel again, but not during the summer.
