My wife & myself are regular visitors to 'The Las Vegas of the North' - we have stayed at numerous hotels and, in truth, had previously avoided The Grand Metropole because of the volume of negative reviews on this site. Having now 'taken the plunge', we thought it would be helpful to give a more objective, unbiased opinion of the... More

The Grand Metropole Hotel has a location next to the oth pier which is both a blessing and a curse. If you've booked a seasview room you will be OK, but if you haven't you will be next to the main road where the Sanuk nightclub is based. I was allocated a room at the back where I was kept... More

The food was hot as were the plates and the quality was very good. Mark in the restaurant always has a smile and welcome. The booking in was much more smoother. All our... More

Stayed here at least twice a year over many years, was here last month and have to say the food or room on offer were not up to the usual standard, there are many long term staff who seem they cant be bothered, it now costs £3.00 per night to use the car park, about time the smokers were cleared...

Came for a short break and would definitely recommend. Ideal location, easy to find, cheap parking, right near everything the front, the nightlife, the pleasure beach etc. Clean room and no issues regarding cleanliness around the hotel, clean towels etc. Lots of facilities; hairdryer, good shower, tv etc - could have maybe done with an iron. Breakfast wasn't the best... More
