Once you enter the hotel it has a really nice atmosphere, very modern, friendly staff, it even has a mezzanine level with a library with free internet and free coffee - these were the best things about this hotel! The rooms were satisfactory, clean, neat but small, but if your in San Fran you don't want to be in your... more

I booked the hotel after seeing it in a guide book called " The Unofficial Guide to California with Kids", it was obvious they had never visited it with or without kids. I won't waste time quoting their description but it is woefully off mark. It mentions "the terrific Southern restaurant" which is actually a bar, quite a good one... more

I am a single female business traveller who was completely fine with my stay at Hotel Metropolis. The main entry to the hotel is not from the street, they have taken care to provide a secure and welcoming entry from the open parking area. I was very aware of the concerns of the immediate neighbourhood and believe that part of... more

In all honesty - I had 3 wonderful experiences with Hotel Metropolis and I would recommend it to anyone who is familiar with the city of San Francisco. I read several complaints in regards to the location of Hotel Metropolis, but anyone who is familiar with SF knows that there are homeless people and druggies EVERYWHERE! They are unavoidable -... more

I see that most people didn't enjoy the 'interesting' part of this hotel - but this is what my family enjoyed about it. We travel extensively with our two young girls (age 4 and 6) and we like for them to see the 'real' side of places, not just the same old Holiday Inn... We found this hotel charming, the... more

The hotel has a good location directly at the Market street, downtown, within the shopping area, the subway station and the Cable car station. It was quite clean, the room was spacious, the bathroom has a bath tub. The room also had a big flat TV screen, a refrigerator, a wine cooler and a set of lady shavers. The only... more

The hotel had very clean rooms and bathroom and an excellent staff at the front desk. The hotel had free hi-speed wireless and nice sitting areas on my room's floor. My room was small, but I liked it. It was in many ways more like a small hotel in Paris than one in the US. A strength of the hotel... more

I can only confirm previous reviews. Crackocolis indeed. Fortunately the police was not dealing with a dead body when I arrived but still an amputated person was nearby, and misery all around. This is not the place where you wanna stay during your vacation in San Fran -although this is one side of San Francisco -and other big cities. Front... more

Pictures on the web page does not do it justice. Pictures should be of the surrounding area or even the homeless that decided to use the front of the hotel as its bathroom "a la fresco". Rooms were very small for two people to stay. Just a disappointment. The staff was friendly. I wish we had a better experience. more
