The Grand Metropole Hotel has a location next to the oth pier which is both a blessing and a curse. If you've booked a seasview room you will be OK, but if you haven't you will be next to the main road where the Sanuk nightclub is based. I was allocated a room at the back where I was kept... More

I have been to this hotel many times with Caledonian Travel. I was very impressed this time the hotel has taken on board all comments previously made. The food was hot as were the plates and the quality was very good. Mark in the restaurant always has a smile and welcome. The booking in was much more smoother. All our... More

Came for a short break and would definitely recommend. Ideal location, easy to find, cheap parking, right near everything the front, the nightlife, the pleasure beach etc. Clean room and no issues regarding cleanliness around the hotel, clean towels etc. Lots of facilities; hairdryer, good shower, tv etc - could have maybe done with an iron. Breakfast wasn't the best... More

Bathroom fitted with shower/hydro-massage (Spa) bath. No shortage of hot water! Up-graded to the Premier dining room (Worrall). Reception staff always cheerful and helpful.
