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.
