The hotel itself was fine, bare-bones as far as the rooms but a nice bar with good food, friendly staff. However, the Expedia listing did not say that the rooms all have shared bath. It wasn't a problem for me, especially because the hotel wasn't full, but some people would not be happy to learn it at check-in.

Rooms were clean and quiet considering the construction nearby. Shower and toilet facilities were clean and despite the block arrangement was reasonably private. Location was good - short walk from most points of interest.

The location is convinient if you don't have a car. It's a basic, city based accomodation. It has a bar and the restaurant downstairs, hosts live events, expect some level of noise. It's a heritage building and the decor matches the era. Relaxed, no fuss vibe.

The Hotel Metropolitan is a traditional Australian Hotel, with shared bathroom facilities, but it gives excellent value for money. Given its central location and all-round convenience, it's a bargain! We get what we pay for. If you're after a simple base in Adelaide, and only need a room to sleep, with easy access to bathroom facilities, at a bargain price then look no further! Although my room (queen size, balcony room) perhaps looked a little tired, it was clean, with a very comfortable bed and lovely soft fluffy towels. The bathroom(s) were always clean, and I did not have wait once. (The weather was hot, so I showered twice a day!) Despite the appearance of a busy and successful and convivial pub, my room was quiet. The 'pub' side of the business closed at midnight. I was in Adelaide for the last two days of the Festival (Friday and Saturday night). I had spent plenty on events, and planned to eat and drink well. I did not travel to this beautiful city to spend time in a hotel room. If you need a basic, convenient, safe and clean base in Adelaide, this place is a winner! The pub staff were friendly and welcoming. I will certainly stay here again.

We spent a terrible night at this hotel. No ensuite, no lamp, no tea and coffee making facilities, single beds with stained doona covers, noise until midnight and terrible area around the hotel. The only highlight was the market over the road and when we left. Terrible place. Don’t recommend it at all.

Felt a bit unsafe due to balcony outside room as had 2 sets of old doors open onto balcony that anyone could access. Had smokers talking outside window and someone walking past at 2145 at night. Bolts in old double doors that open onto balcony not secured when entered room if had not checked anyone could have gained access to room. Also left an unlocked small bag zipped up and folded in a room downstairs that only staff access, left only clothes in bag so didn't feel needed to lock. When went to collect the bag it was unfolded and unziped and a small washing bag inside had also been gone thru. For the feeling of being unsafe and the bags being opened would not personally stay in hotel again.

I love staying here every time I visit Adelaide and expect to continue for years to come. The staff are wonderful to deal with and they treat me better every time I visit! It's a bit noisy from a development next door, but it appears to be near completion, so should dramatically improve soon.
