My husband and I stayed here for the first time but it won't be the last. I mentioned when I booked that it was my husband's birthday and when we got to the room, the hotel had put on a little cake selection and a lovely card. The room itself was clean and stylish, the bathroom was big and clean. The street the hotel is located on is full of bars, restaurants and shops. We loved it.

We enjoyed our stay here. However, I listed on the booking it was our anniversary and not much care was taken. The first room was ok but not cleaned properly, with hair and dust left in easy to see areas and the door handle was wabbly. We received an upgrade and the staff were lovely when we brought their attention to this. Unfortunately similar situation, handle on cupboard came off when I opened it, bathroom clean but few hairs that weren’t ours in easy to spot areas. Bed was very comfortable, bar staff fantastic and the girl at reception was lovely. Great staff but think some investment is needed in the bedrooms

The Met is a lovely old hotel! The room was great, clean and quiet. They have a nice bar/restaurent and live piano background music on our day of arrival. Easy access to the shops, food and late night music if that what you want.

The check- in process was easy, the front desk persons were very friendly. Just to note that this hotel doesn't have AC due to the age of the property, however fans are available of you need them. The person greeting us for breakfast was not very friendly and seemed to be upset when one of us changed the breakfast order.
