“A good place to stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 15, 2012

We stayed here as part of our package for 4 nights on 3 occasions we were going through Delhi.
No complaints about the hotel at all.We found staff helpful and courteous.We had a different room each time.We thought the rooms were a very good size,clean and comfortable.Good large shower room and toilet,best range of shower products on our tour tour.
We ate both in the buffet and cafe reataurants and Chutney,the A.La Carte.Thought the food was good and the range in the buffet as good if not better than other hotels we stayed.As mentioned the taxes are high and do add about a third to the bill but I am told taxes are high in Delhi anyway.Breakfast was a good range and there is the usual egg station for fresh made choices.
The hotel does cater for weddings and functions and these can be a bit noisy outside but so what,it doesn't go on all night.Diwalli was imminent and fireworks can be heard,but so can Christmas revelry,elsewhere.
Can't comment on other eating places as we were content to eat in the hotel after a busy schedule and did not want to have to experience further Delhi traffic.The only poor bit of service was that our early morning breakfast pack was not available despite ordering the night before but a helpful staff member got us some packets of biscuits from the lounge cafe.
The expected tipping of porter staff no more than other hotels.
Agree with other comments re WIFI but some other hotels were no different.It should be a free service in this day.Hotel management take note when you read these comments,The bussiness centre did not charge us for checking in on line

Room Tip: The back rooms overlook pool area,front rooms the road but not over noisy

“5 STAR HOTEL WITH 2-3 STAR AMENITIES- SERVICE-QUALITY”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 12, 2012

Metropolitan Hotel and Spa Hotel is conveniently situated in a quite area not too far from the City Centre. Rooms are small with no good view from the window. No decent cereals for breakfast. Coffee is like muddy water. Hot Water in the shower room was muddy and stopped flowing with shampoo still in my head.....No water for 5-10 mins and variable pressure. Expensive internet for the total price paid for the room. Difficutl to enter into the bath for shower... You need a stool or a bench to get into...Too high and narrow entrance. High add-on charges (taxes etc).

Room Tip: Stay only if you arrive late at night and leave early and do not wish to use services. Have a shower...

“Very expensive without any free wifi!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 11, 2012

Great location and great room although the people at the arrival of the hotel were not friendly at all. The breakfast is great with an attentive staff. However, we were disappointed to learn that the wifi must be paid. This is not normal given the price and the amenities provided of a hotel. The service is really variable and not always reliable, far from a five star hotel.

“Its an OK hotel in a city”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 8, 2012

The Metropolitan is a well situated hotel with very nice staff. The rooms are fine but could do with better sound insulation. A nearby concert intruded badly into the room. As many people have pointed out, the add on to the food and drink is substantial, about one third so be warned. Breakfast is good if a little uncoordinated.
They have a very good Craft Shop in the basement, the gym is ok.
The staff get it 4 stars.

Room Tip: Get one facing away from the city, less road noise

“One of the best properties in Delhi”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 8, 2012

The best trained staff i can say with professional attitude. I would recommend spa to everyone which was really the best. If Hotel could look in the menu price it would be great.
Had a comfortable stay would ask my client to book the same for my JAN 13' trip. :)
