The reviews said this was a 5 star hotel. As we were checking in, in the pouring rain, a gentleman guest inquired at the front desk if they had a "hotel umbrella". No. He was not happy. "What kind of 5 star hotel is this that doesn't have an umbrella?" He shook his head and left. We were left negotiating... more

Stayed here June 28/29 and was pleasantly surprised with this place! This was my first trip to south beach and perusing tons of hotel reviews and pics online can be a pretty daunting task! The room you get is actually a suite, since you have a full kitchen, small dining area, a lounging area (sofa, ipod deck, large flat screen... more

I stayed at the Metropole for 2 nights. The good: kitchen w/ refrigerator, microwave, stove, received help with luggage from almost halfway down the block - The bad: dim lighting, toilet didn't work, slippery pavement (when wet), dirty carpet in hallway. The brightest lights in the room were in the kitchen and in the bathroom. When I arrived at the... more

This is one of the several South Beach Group hotels. It was an excellent price, especially considering the location. Its not on the beach, but its 1.5 blocks away from downtown South Beach. Unless you stay in a shady hotel, you are going to pay at LEAST $100 a night in South Beach. Heck, some of the shady hotels in... more

I wasn't quite sure how to feel about this hotel, due to the wide array of reviews. However, I must admit I had a pleasant stay at the Metropole Hotel. A bit pricey. However, the staff was very helpful, the rooms are stylish, comfortable, & "technologically equipped," and the location is prime for SoBe. Negatives? I think the room could... more

I based my review on Maimi hotels, this would not really be a 4* but South Beach hotels can be super crappy and teeny tiny. The Metropole rooms are ginormous. We got a one rooms suite and ended up with our local friends crashing on the pull-put couch. The bedroom of the suite was larger than the typical SoBe hotel... more

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Metropole for one night in March prior to boarding a cruise. We arrived around 9am and right away there was someone to take all of our bags out of the cab for us. We went into the lobby (which is tiny and uncomfortable if there is more than one party waiting at the... more

This hotel is awesome. (a) Great location (b) Full kitchen, with stainless-steel appliances. (c) Fridge full of drinks and cupboard full of snacks. Be sure to eat them, you're being charged anyway. (d) Huge plasma TV in the living room, and another one in the bedroom. (e) Excellent courtyard. You couldn't ask for a nicer place - except The Strand,... more
