Metropolitan Hotel

excellent value — service was fantastic — great in-​room facilities and two of my key items — bath robe and tea bags & fresh milk delivered quickly on request. Great location for business meetings in downtown Vancouver

Came here for an overnight trip of Vancouver. The hotel is nice. We were immediately greeted by friendly faces and a helpful front desk. The bell hop brought our bags to our room, a nice touch. The room itself was nice. Pool/​hot tub was great (located on the 3^rd floor).
The Diva at Metro dining experience was amazing. Best Gin and Tonic I have ever had. The secret is they don’t use tonic from the tap. It’s these kind of details that makes this place fun.
Location is perfect. Centrally located, it’s been a easy to leave the car parked and walk around to explore. You’re steps away from Pacific Centre and the Art Museum.
Definitely will come back here.

So… The rooms are nice so far. We checked in this afternoon and ordered room service off the late night menu: 1) the sandwiches we ordered are on the menu with «home made Yukon gold potato chips,» and they showed up with mixed nuts instead; 2) the Caesar salad, per the menu, includes bacon and croutons — but didn’t when we received it. For a 17% service charge AND a $ 5 delivery fee, this is a bit ludicrous.

Convenient and confortable hotel located at a fantastic place to discover Vancouver: near the ocean, Downtown, art center and the public library. Staff friendly and efficient.

The Met’s central location is nice, but the vibe is unnecessarily pretentious (down to the name of the hotel bar, «Diva») and the décor lacks taste. Seemed overpriced and the tech was slightly out-​of-​date: Outlet options were power-​strips plugged into the wall. The toilet phone was weirdly charming.

If anything can be said about this hotel, it’s in a great location in the financial district across the Pacific Center and it’s very central to everything. When you take the SkyTrain from YVR, you get off at the Vancouver City Centre. You go out of the station and go left to Georgia Street and then turn right down Howe. You walk down a little bit and you’re there. Look for the navy awning and Metropolitan sign.
The front desk and doormen were all very friendly and helpful. The doormen always greeted us and opened the door. They were so cheerful and welcoming.
We were so exhausted after that red eye flight that we got to the hotel around 8:30am and figured we would try to ask for early check in. Luckily, our room was available so we got to check in very early so we could get some rest. This was a definite plus for us!
The room was a good size for us to spread all our stuff out. There was a small table and chairs to eat at. The bed was large and comfy. The room didn’t get too bright as well. The bathroom was also spacious with a standing shower and bath tub. The furniture and room were dated and not modern but very clean.
They have one restaurant downstairs called Diva at the Met, a pool and gym which we didn’t get to try. We didn’t have a car, thank goodness since I believe it’s $ 40 a day to park.
When we checked out, they held our bags at no charge while we did some last minute things in the city. This was very handy and very nice of the staff.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and wouldn’t mind staying here again.

The location is great! Close to sky line station & mall.
Easy in & out. If u love to walk, most place r walking distance to go around 20 – 30 minutes. Yes, the price is affordable.

While I don’t come to Vancouver as much I want, whenever I do, I always stay at Metropolitan. Whether you use the Booking or
websites, the price is always extremely reasonable. And, for that reasonable price, you get a nice, clean room that is only a stone’s throw away from most places in downtown Vancouver. You have Pacific Centre across the street, a Tim Hortons a block or 2 down on Dunsmuir, and the bustling Robson St. 2 blocks the other way (especially Japadog!).
The parking structure leaves a little something to be desired though. It spirals down a few levels and it’s a pretty tight drive down. If you have a big truck, which I did, it becomes an adventure in itself. Also, it’s $ 40 a night! Ouch! But, with limited parking options around and the fact that you’ll probably be leaving your car there, instead of paying for another outside lot when you normally go out, it’s not as bad as you might think.
They also have free wifi, but it can be spotty at times.

LOVE this place. Their executive suite was amazing, had everything you needed in there, 2 toilets, a powder room, kitchen, dining room, living room, very comfortable king bedroom, tub and great view of downtown Vancouver. Very accommodating service too (from valet to servers at Diva). Hotel itself looks fresh, new and very clean. No one used pool, gym or hot tub when we were there so it felt very exclusive. Pretty big pool and 5ft deep. Also close to great restaurants and shopping area.

Had an enjoyable stay here. The amenities were good, with the business center, pool and gym all being what you would expect from a nice hotel. The rooms were comfortable and well stocked. The bathroom felt luxurious with a beautiful shower and bathtub and overall the size was huge. The location was centrally located to nice restaurants and shopping, so it was perfect for a weekend vacation. The only reason I docked one star was that the staff and hotel seems a little sleepy. There was barely anyone around in terms of staff and we hardly saw other guests. The elevators also take a while and are a little confusing because there are multiple ones. I would stay here again though.

Warm and welcoming, very comfortable and clean. Walk to great shopping, the Vancouver Art Gallery, and restaurants galore – but be sure to try their own restaurant, DIVA, which is a hidden gem with award-​winning talent in food and pastry! Wow!

Finally, a downtown hotel that appreciates us and our dogs:) Front desk, housekeeping and concierge very helpful and friendly! Would be a 5 star but bartender seemed «put out» when we stopped in for a night cap after a fun filled day in downtown:(. Location is great and rooms are beautiful! We have stayed in other hotels in Vancouver but this was by far the most accommodating!

Stayed here for 5 days while attending a conference. The hotel is conveniently located in downtown; however, the hotel has issues. The front counter people were not very helpful when asked questions; two of the elevations were not working and the remaining elevations took a very long time to arrive; and the internet is VERY slow. For this price, next time will stay at another downtown hotel.

The Metropolitan was a surprise find during our stay in Vancouver. The staff is outstanding, with special mention of David Lo, who helped us find the best Chinese restaurant in Vancouver. He went out of his way to make our stay memorable. The hotel is located right in the middle of downtown and if you cannot walk to your destination there is very efficient public transit. Rooms are well-​appointed with comfortable beds and a spacious bath. Wi-​fi is included but the connection was very weak.

Great location centrally situated to everything you need downtown — restaurants, shops and entertainment. We got a great price when combined with our flights to Vancouver so thought it would be a great opportunity to take a break from family for the night and enjoy a night downtown.
First of all, they let us check in early… very early. We would have just checked our overnight bags with the concierge but they just gave us our rooms instead (we were traveling with my brother and his wife as well).
Our room was nice, albeit a little on the smaller side but the bathroom was huge and they had fancy Molton Brown toiletries. I love upscale mini toiletries!
I had most been looking forward to a swim in the their indoor pool and a soak in the hot — perfect on a cold Winter day after walking downtown all day. The indoor pool is large enough to swim laps and their hot tub can easily accommodate a large group.
Excellent service by every employee we encountered. If I were staying downtown again, I would choose the Metropolitan.

My husband booked an impromptu trip to Vancouver for NYE a couple days prior. The Metropolitan was in a great location right in downtown Vancouver and right next to all of the shops, restaurants and night life. We were able to walk to everything. The hotel itself was clean and the staff was friendly. The price per night was pretty good and valet parking overnight is $ 40/​day. They offer free wifi which was great and we had no problems with it for the two days we were there. The room was a good size with a very large bathroom, nice but nothing special.
We didn’t eat breakfast at the hotel and instead checked out the local pastry shops around the hotel which is something I would recommend.

My favourite things about the Metropolitan:
— Great location, it was our first time in Vancouver and we walked everywhere from the hotel!
— Large ultra-​comfortable bed… mmmm
— Amazing bathroom, with a big bathtub AND a separate spacious shower
— The indoor pool, the gym and sauna on the 3^rd floor, open from very early till late
— Cordial and professional staff, they try to make you feel as comfortable as possible even when you think you’re a bit lost or confused
— Coffee machine in the room (the coffee itself was really bad, but that’s beside the point)
— Having the newspaper delivered to your door most mornings
— Bottled water and fresh bowls of fruit in the room regularly refilled
I liked the decoration, using good materials and warm golden tones everywhere, but keeping it elegant.
We did have some minor issues with our room, mainly the TV image was a bit poor — not a big problem as we only turned it on once.
Also, we decided to skip breakfast here and try instead the many cafés around this part of town; you can find some very good ones within two or three blocks. It works out a lot cheaper and it’s much more interesting, since their standard continental breakfast service a bit dear starting at $ 20 pp.
I had to do some work while staying here, and everything I needed was already in the room, including an ethernet cable and a plug extension.
When you check out they promptly offer to keep your bags at no extra charge and when you go back to get them the staff will also help you to get a taxi if you wish so.
I spent a really nice, relaxed week here and I’d definitely recommend it.
Little tip: if you’re bored and jet lagged at 4am in your room, you can call room service and order some popcorn: D

Overall the Metropolitan is a decent hotel. The rooms are clean and quiet and the staff are courteous and friendly while remaining very professional. I do have a couple of complaints however. The TV in the room barely worked. I got almost no programming whatsoever. Also access to plugs next to the bed was restricted to being almost impossible to use. Some of us have electric or electronic items that need to be plugged in by the bed and NOT over under the desk.
Breakfast was OK. but very expensive for a la carte items. The scrambled eggs were watery and the hash browns tasted like cardboard. It was very pretty cardboard. but cardboard nonetheless.
I feel labeling it «average» would be too punishing an overall review given how wonderful the staff are. but they’re far from worth of a 5-​star rating.

The Metropolitan Hotel in Vancouver has a very nice location in Downtown. It was near different forms of transit, the Gastown, Canada Place, Chinatown, and the Pacific Center Mall.
The rooms are VERY nice. I did have not stayed in such a nice room in a long time. The bathroom was huge and there was both a shower and a tub in there (separate!). There is also a pool and a hot tub on the 3^rd floor for all guests to use. And it is open till 11! Most hotels that I have been too close around 9 so fortunately we were able to actually enjoy the facility when we came back from our adventures and dinner.
The concierges and doormen were very helpful and friendly too. There was one doorman who we saw many times at that door and he always had a smile on his face and offered help MANY times. I did not catch his name but I am pretty sure that he was Japanese (I point this out so hopefully this employers can give him some recognition).
The rooms also come with few wireless and it was really spotty. By day 3 my wife told a lady at the front desk about it (she needed to use it a bit for work) and when we came back from wherever we had been there was a router in our room and some MUCH better internet connection. We are very pleased that the front desk took our «complaint» seriously and dealt with it really quickly. Thank you! We would definitely choose to stay here again if we return to Vancouver someday.

I missed it this year but I just love the Xmas tree competition for charity held in lobby annually. The rooms are also comfortable and I’ve always made the stay complete with dinner at Diva.
Central location and just about perfect.
