“OK”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 January 2012

Not a bad place facilities-wise: bar/lounge, cafe (not sure if the was a restaurant apart from it), fitness centre, conference facilities, business centre (always funny). Souvenir store with a friendly store keeper.
I got a decent deal on that one around EUR 100 for the night sometime in January.
The staff were friendly but not particularly so. Rooms were okay.
Food at the cafe was not the best but there are some quite good tavernas nearby. Location is not great although Syntagma Square is not terribly far off by taxi. It's not too bad and I'd say I had a decent stay.

“Spent at least 20 nights here on different trips”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2012

This hotel will NOT dissapoint you. For the past four years I've worked for an international travel camp that uses this hotel as a base in Athens. Since 2007 I've probably spent over 20 nights at the "Met", and it is absolutely a home away from home. The staff is attentive, the food is excellent, the pool has a beautiful view of the city, and the surrounding neighborhood is charming. Walk down a block to eat at Barba Lazaros, a nearby taverna with great food. The bus to Placa runs hourly and is very reliable on pickup times. I would never stay at another place in Athens. Tons of comfort in a beautiful Greek area of Athens.

“Good for a party not for work!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 December 2011 via mobile

I can see from the other reviews that I am one of few to leave a bad report about this hotel. In all honesty it was ok. But on my arrival there was a puddle of sick in the lift. The second night a number of people over the period of two hours (late evening, early morning) were shouting in the halls and banging on doors. The third night of my stay again a number of individuals obviously drunk out of their minds shouting in a room close by and in the hallway. Not only that the hotel had a private function party on downstairs that I could hear on the third floor! No consideration from staff or other guests for guests like myself who have meetings in the morning. I would not advise anyone stay in this hotel if here for work. It has just past 130 and seems that the music has stopped... Just need to wait for the drunks to go to sleep now.
