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.

Quick and easy check-in, with all necessary information provided in a friendly manner. The room was small, but contained all necessary items, and was surprisingly quiet once the window was closed. Shared toilet facilities were clean and tidy, but rather cramped. The hotel is old, and shows its age in the layout and room sizes, but was clean, tidy, comfortable and good value for money.

So this is a “hotel” in the old fashioned meaning of the word, it’s actually a traditional Australian pub with upstairs lodgings. No ensuites, so bathrooms are shared like in a hostel. No airconditioning so rooms get a bit stuffy on a hot humid day, though the absurdly tall ceilings and stone walls do make it tolerable. The rooms open straight out to the balcony which is pretty cool tbh. No kettles or running water in the rooms. No room service. The TV didn’t tune anything, but the wifi was good, over 50Mbps reliably. The building looks over 100 years old, it’s too bad they don’t lean into that and sell it as a traditional Aussie public house experience. Some people complained their rooms were too small, but the twin room I was in was huge, so I’d book the twin even if you’re staying by yourself. If you want the hostel experience but with your own private room, and like the idea of living above a pub and hanging out on the balcony with a drink from the bar and a smoke, the Metro is for you. If you want a modern hotel experience, you will be disappointed. I kind of liked it and am curious what other heritage listed hotel/pubs are like around Adelaide now. For the same price per night though I would stay in even a crappy modern hotel instead though.
