Le Metropole Luxury Heritage Hotel Since 1902 by Paradise Inn Group

Great service. Great staff. The view is mesmerizing. The bartender makes excellent cocktails. The food was delicious although the portions could have been a little larger. Overall this place is recommended, but be aware that it is too expensive to be your everyday restaurant. But this is PERFECT for a special day.

Cheap and cheerful)) Russian girls on the dancers😋

I can understand the reviews from other guests a bit better. We also had problems with our air conditioner. In the end we got a new room, it was smaller, but the air conditioner worked.

+ beautiful building and rooms
+ rooftop view and groundfloor is beautiful
+ cool and fast elevator
+ staff is overall nice and most of them are helpful

- we had to ask 3 times for the air conditioner: first, they said they will fix it, but they did not come back. Then we called, they said somebody will come, no one came. Then we went down again, to ask for help. Then they came to our room, saw the problem and told us, they will fix it. They didn't come back. In the end, we got a new room on the same floor. The new room was smaller, but nice too.
- Some things should be fixed: the doorhandle almost broke off or the carpet on the stairs to walk on is a bit dangerous, especiallf for people with walking problems.

about the breakfast: we ate food after 10am, by this time the food started to look dry because of the sun (it's on the rooftop). Some of it tasted good. Also, the waiters sometimes forget to bring you water, since there isn't a water station.
But in the end you are full.

Lovely historic hotel with an authentic lobby, rooms and artifacts. Staff are genuinely friendly and location can't get better with minutes access to everything (double Decker bus stop is across the street).
It's a 100 year old building so expecting some nuances is only logical.
Would come back again for sure.

Very old rooms, something making noise the whole time like a ghost walking on the floor! 🤣
The toilets need maintenance!
Helpful team and we got welcome drinks with french desserts.
The rooftop was amazing, and not expensive at all!
The location is perfect to access downtown.

Great location and amazing heritage feel!

Probably the best location you can get in Alexandra.. to top it up, the hotel is well managed and maintained heritage property. The old school elevator is one of the highlights, the roof top restaurant with views being the other. Everything is extremely accessible from this place - all tourist attractions, popular cafes & restaurants, transportation spots.

You can even hail a local shared van plying continuously across the shoreline in either direction - very convenient and extremely economical.

Breakfast was elaborate, staff was great, good views from the balcony, large room and bathroom. Great value for money, especially given the season we visited (~$70/n in Jan'24).

Would definitely go back there whenever I re-visit.

PS: They even offer a high tea with wine and snacks - a great value add.

We stay in Metropol for first time .
The hotel is decorated in a very nice vintage style.
From the entrance we got so nice welcoming from Ukraine girl, she was so nice and helpful during the stay
Room was very nice so clean and everything was available in the room.
Breakfast in roof top was amazing with the nice view , many choices
Also at evening amazing atmosphere.
I will recommend this hotel to all because it’s worth it. 🥰

Old historical palace, the hotel is clean and location in the heart of Alex downtown. The crew are friendly and well trained.
Negative side:
Room lack of wall power outlets and there is ine elevator only.

Beautiful location, and even more hospitable staff. Hats off to such good hospitality.

The food is amazing. They also serve evening snacks complimentary which is also a wide-spread menu.

Rooftop restaurant is cherry on the cake and probably best poster view of the town.
