Blankets had cigarette burns. Room smelled of cigarette smoke (non-smoking means they remove the ashtrays,,,). Room was dirty. Hotel was full of large groups of rowdy tourists. Hotel is grossly overpriced for the non-group travellers (us). Breakfast was 20 euros per person (are you kidding me?). The pool is very small and was under construction! This place is far from... more

If you wish a non smoking room, make certain to state that in the reservation in writing and any other features you wish. Do not allow someone to tell you that it will be as you like without your specific requests in writing. If you wish twin beds, it must be written in the reservation as they are quick to... more

This hotel was just ok to me. The rooms were fine but a bit dated. Our air conditioner would not work. I would suggest finding a resturant to eat instead of eating at the hotel unless your able to claim it on an expense report. The food is very pricey! We paid 15 Euro for strawberries and whip cream and... more

I'll start off by saying that the Metropolitan Hotel is not near any of the tourist sites, so I do not recommend the hotel if you are only visiting Greece for a few days. We stayed at the hotel for the final night of our honeymoon, where we took advantage of the special "honeymoon/romance" package, which included complimentary dinner for... more

We spent 2 nights at the Metropolitan prior to our tour of Greece and 2 nights after the tour and to call this a 4-5 star Hotel is really overstating the facts. The Hotel is designed to cater for the hundreds of tourists that are accommodated there by various tour companies - Siva Travel even has a desk in the... more

We stayed at the Metropolitan for 5 nights in April and after reading some of the reviews on TA I was rather apprehensive! We were in Athens as my husband was there on business and so the hotel reservation was booked by the company in Athens. On arrival I was expecting the worst but got, while not quite the best,... more

We checked in at the Metropolitan hotel last March 2008 to celebrate my birthday in Athens, and i had the WORST ever hotel service in my life! And to think that Metropolitan hotel is a 5star hotel! I'm just wondering if the company ever train their staff on how to handle or even talk to their guests? Never there was... more

Cons: Bad location Poor service Bad quality-value. more

My husband and I decided to take a trip to Athens with our baby daughter (4 months) in Sept 2007. We booked the Metropolitan Hotel primarily because it was well priced compared to other hotels in the 3-5 star bracket and it advertised a heated swimming pool. Both my husband and I are well travelled and usually very laid back,... more
