The Hotel Metropolitan is a traditional Australian Hotel, with shared bathroom facilities, but it gives excellent value for money. Given its central location and all-round convenience, it's a bargain!
We get what we pay for.
If you're after a simple base in Adelaide, and only need a room to sleep, with easy access to bathroom facilities, at a bargain price then look no further!
Although my room (queen size, balcony room) perhaps looked a little tired, it was clean, with a very comfortable bed and lovely soft fluffy towels.
The bathroom(s) were always clean, and I did not have wait once. (The weather was hot, so I showered twice a day!)
Despite the appearance of a busy and successful and convivial pub, my room was quiet. The 'pub' side of the business closed at midnight.
I was in Adelaide for the last two days of the Festival (Friday and Saturday night). I had spent plenty on events, and planned to eat and drink well. I did not travel to this beautiful city to spend time in a hotel room.
If you need a basic, convenient, safe and clean base in Adelaide, this place is a winner!
The pub staff were friendly and welcoming.
I will certainly stay here again.
