Overall a Good Value for the Price

Overall the hotel was fine and the price/valur ratio was good. The staff was friendly and accomodating. When there was a ... problem with my room and it had to be changed, I was given a new one right away. Free internet is a plus. The location on Market right near Powell is great for getting around. Like a lot of areas in SF, the area can seem sketchy with a lot of homeless and others milling around, but those used to big cities will take it in stride. The "fitnress room" consists of 1 step machine and 1 treadmill, which isn't ideal. However, I never had to wait once in the 6 days I was there.

Decent hotel for reasonable price

This hotel was fine, some people might not like the location, I personally don't care, being an SF native for years. It's the ... Tenderloin, so it's fairly lively with homeless outside the hotel grounds, it's a mix in this area of high end hotels and gritty street life. Rooms are small and don't have AC, noise may be a problem as you can hear every door slam on your floor. I thought that would be a problem, but I'd just flown in late night and passed out. Conclusion: Free internet, reasonable price, small rooms, clean, in the Tenderloin for those who can't handle that, close to public transportation and major areas, no AC, a fair amount of noise with doors slamming and hallway convos. Take it for what it's worth, that's my 2 cents. :)

Great place to stay

The hotel was really nice and very well decorated. The staff was super friendly and helpful, they even gave me toothpaste at ... 4am lol. The parking was great and the valets really nice. The neighborhood outside was a little scary but I would totally stay here again because the location is so convenient and the staff so nice!

When I walked into Hotel Metropolis I was greeted by a warm environment and staff- the hotel was neat, clean, and very ... comfortable. It was kind of on a bad block, but it is only about fifty feet away from the main road, Market, near the Powell Station BART and SF shopping center. Definitely recommended if you are on a budget.

not perfect, but very cost effective

OK - the location is 2 blocks from Powell Street BART station, so you can get from the San Francisco Airport for around $5. ... But all the market street. The hotel inspires images of 1920's with art-deco everywhere in an adorable way. The classic subway tile in the bathroom is beautiful. But if you're expecting a lavish huge room, you will be dissapointed. The room is small but tastefully decorated with a flat panel TV to save space. Free internet, coffee / tea bar, and an exercise room - all at no extra charge. Noise problem with no AC so when you open the windows, the street noise comes in, but its San Francisco - how hot will it get. I had a conference 9 blocks away at a pricy hotel. The Hotel metropolis was a great cost effective choice.

Very friendly staff and great bargain

The Hotel Metropolis is located right next to the Powell Street Station and Market Street which made it very accessible to ... public transportation. The hotel was very clean and chic, a boutique type hotel. The staff were very friendly and very accomodating. The only negative is that the hotel is located in an area that is not-so-great - a lot of drunken homeless people on the sidewalks outside - but then, part of that is just being in the city. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone.

Not good...

Seonyong Mar 18, 2008

this hotel location is pretty good... very near by downtown shopping malls, but some dangerous with homeless people on the ... street. You can hear next room people's all sounds... it is horrible. The hotel's parking area is pretty nice, but too much expensive per night. I really do not know this hotel is better or nice.

nice walking distance

the hotel looked pleasent inside. I liked the fact that the mall was 3 minutes away. The night club that we went to was only ... four blocks up the street mason

Super convenient location

Hotel Metropolis is a great place for sophisticated travellers who like to get out and see the city they are visiting. The ... front door is but a short block from the major BART, trolley and Muni station (Powell Street) that will get you almost anywhere in the San Francisco/East Bay area. Shopping of all kinds is one to four blocks away, as well as a fine selection of restaurants in the downtown/Union Square neighborhood. The rooms are clean, simple, and modern, neither Spartan nor luxurious, but comfortable. The staff is always helpful and pleasant.

Hotel Metropolis provided my partner and I a very comfortable and quiet escape from our activities on my birthday weekend. ... The foyer was large and open with calming colors and a very friendly staff. Boutique hotels always seem to have a staff that will go the extra mile to get you what you need. Our room was spacious, two double beds, with modern touches and furniture. The television (32 inch LCD flatpanel) was such a surprise and so nice to watch when we were getting ready to go to bed. the bathroom was SPOTLESS! Beautiful, though not entirely up to date. The hot water fluctuated quite a bit but evened out eventually and wasn't really that much of an issue. The new Westfield mall was right around the corner and Union Square just a few blocks. It was borderline tenderloine but all worked out quite well!

Good Value

This hotel was nice and a great value. The room was very clean/comfortable and the hotel staff was friendly. The neighborhood ... is not great, but as long as you know your way around San Francisco, there is no problem. The hotel is a block and a half from the Powell Street transit station, so it's very convenient to take the BART in from the Airport. There are quite a few homeless people in the vacinity, but it's SF and that's a city-wide problem. I would recommend getting a higher floor to reduce the street noise.

My review of Hotel Metropolis

John Aug 8, 2007

Would recommend to a friend!

Metropolis is conveniently located within a block of the Powell St. BART station, and is best accessed by walking along ... Market St to Turk, and then entering on Turk, just past the corner of Mason. The hotel is nicely retrofit with Modern lighting, furniture, and artwork, and the hotel staff were courteous and helpful. The room was nicely appointed, with flat screen television and tastefully remodeled bathroom. On the downside, the carpets needed replacing, and there was noise all night from homeless people in the street below the hotel. Metropolis is centrally located, modern, tasteful, and a good value for the money.

WOULD NOT STAY HERE HOTEL

Florence Aug 7, 2007

I was very dissatisfied with this hotel. The room was right next to elevator(wall to bathroom was butted up next to elevator ... shaft.) The bathroom was very small. The room was way to small for 2 double beds. The carpet was very old and stained. On my list of hotels, this one is a MUST MISS

I was very impressed with Hotel Metropolis. This was my first stay at one of the Personality Hotels. I really enjoyed ... staying at one of the older hotels that have been remodeled in the Union Square area. The rooms have a very unique vibe and the staff were extremely friendly. No gripes on the cleaning, neighbors....thickness of walls etc.... It does get a little on the seedy side at night, but where in Union Square does it not?

sharp hotel

Hotel Metropolis had great style and very comfortable accommodations. The neighborhood was a bit dodgy but there was on-site ... parking and I do believe our vehicle was safe.
