The hotel was in a great location, the staff was friendly and the accommodations were clean. We pub hopped and went to The Cast, Gallaghers and Shelbourne Bar which are all right next door to the Metropole. I’d recommend all three bars! It was a great visit!

Lovely room. A little snug for 2 people but we were hardly in it. Towels were wonderful and the location was ideal. Had dinner in the and it was delicious- the cocktails were amazing! Would recommend- lots of children in the hotel as well and we NEVER heard them! The parking was a little tricky due to traffic but that was our mistake.

I had an absolutely lovely stay at the Metropole. It being in the city central made everything so convenient. We could walk to the shops, bus stations, and the train station. I loved the smell of fresh flowers in the lobby and our room had some amenities I don’t see often like a heated towel rack.

Everything was good. Just the hand lotion dispenser didn’t work which means basic QA wasn’t carried out prior to check-in.
