“Not impressive.”

The staff and the service was bad. Their English, in comparison to the majority in the Dubai area, was horrible. But, the worst part was when/if they didn't understand, they'd pretend that they did and screw things up for ya. The only wifi they have is in the lobby, and it's not free; another huge downer for me. I ordered Indian food, via room service, and decided to cancel it a couple of minutes later. I was forced to talk to the manager 'cause once you place the order, it cannot be reversed. Now THAT is low and pitiful in my book. I had a few not so pleasant experiences with the staff like these. Overall, the hotel itself is not so bad for the price but if you want some quality service, forget about it. THE SERVICE HERE SUCKS!!!

“Value for money”

It's close to the mall of the Emirates. Good facilities, but relatively old in design.

Family-friendly activities
Indoor skiing at the mall of the Emirates, and swimming with dolphins at Dolphin bay. Plus experiencing the Aquarium at Dubai mall are all within minutes from Metropolitan hotel.

“Practical & Convenient”

Every thing was very convenient and very friendly, all the hotel facilities are in good shape, and the whole team is there for your comfort, also the hotel offers complimentary shuttle bus to Dubai Mall and MOE 3 times a day, there were only one negative comment, if someone whispered in the corridor you would hear him while in your bed and by default vice versa !!!

Area recommendations
Atlantis Aqua-venture, its a day for the whole family and an experience you don't wanna miss, plus its a timeout between all the malls and shopping.

Dubai Marina for the awesome Sky Dive... Dubai Mall was the sites and restaurants plus the variety in Shopping...
Getting around
Taxi services is very good... always accessible... very polite most of the time...
Dining
The Meat Co. for Steaks... and Gazeebo for Indian food is really good.

“Nice place to stay”

I personally liked the place with nice employees to take care. Few small issues if that can be taken care it is an excellent place to be in there. If the breakfast is included in the room rate...its pretty expensive according to U.S. standards. See I had to extend it for a day and I had to pay the rack rate and they did not accept the Expedia charges. So you all should have some arrangements like that so that the guests have some flexibility to make changes with the same rate. You can also have some arrangements to have city tour program...and if u all have it then its great and I missed it. Over all it is a nice place to be in. Thank you. P.S. I saw one cockroach in my room...if that can be intimated to them so that they can fumigate that room...

Area recommendations
Oh! which area should I say they should not go...not one I can mention...they should go everywhere. It is one of the finest city I have ever been..neat and clean, respectful citizens, theft free city and last but not the least..a very friendly place. If you plan to but gold go to Gold Souk, but do not miss the tallest building Burj Khalifa and the 7 star hotel Burj Al Arab....and the Atlantis hotel....heaven on earth.
When to go
The pride of showing one's city can only be seen in Dubai. It is a place where one should see everything and the best way to do so is to take the city tour from the respective hotels. Every hotel has arrangements for it ...some have reasonable charges. The Tallest building "Burj Khalifa" , Jumeira Beach, the 7 star hotel Burj AL Arab, the Mall Of Emirates, the Atlantis hotel are a few of the places not to be missed. If you plan to shop malls are countless and beautiful. But if Gold you are looking for Gold Souk is the best place to go and mind you..you can bargain your price... I am looking forward to going there again.

“Not Impressed”

The positives are that the hotel has a nice pool area and a selection of restaurants. I was disappointed with the service. For example, we were told that there was a complimentary shuttle to the airport. Then we were told that it would be a certain price per room. Then we tried to schedule our departure and were told that if we didn't leave at the top of the hour it would be almost double that price per room for a private trip. The staff did not offer information and they were very misleading. We got on the shuttle to the Mall of the Emirates and after it stopped at 6 other hotels and we had been on it for 45 minutes we got off at one of the stops and paid for a taxi ride. The mall was only 5-10 minutes down the road and the shuttle would have taken at least 1 hour. We waited for one of the on sight restaurants to open after staff told us they would open in a 1/2 hour. Once open we found out they were remodeling the kitchen and were only open for drinks. The flow of information was very frustrating and for the money there are much nicer places in Dubai. The hotel is old (built in 1979) and it is clean but in much need of upgrades.

Area recommendations
I would recommend the Bur Dubai area. There are great hotels at reasonable prices. It is close to shopping and things to do.

“Amenities make the difference”

The Metropolitan Hotel is nothing special, having said that, the salon, Chinese Restaurant, pool facilities, and British pub make all the difference. We would definately stay here again and enjoy a pint in the pub garden. Don't mind that the hotel could use a lick of paint, it was clean and friendly. Do spend more on your room, the 'atrium view' isn't great, go for the 'garden view'.

Area recommendations
Sheikh Zayed Road is full of hotels with many bars/restaurants/clubs. Also, enjoy the Emirates Mall and Dubai Mall. Avoid Dubai Marina/JBR/The Walk, completely soul-less place full of chain restaurants serving bland food.
Getting around
We were impressed with the Dubai Metro system, very clean and efficient. Watch out for the cars for 'women & children'. My husband and I hopped on and he had to move to the next car! However, taxis are probably more convenient for getting around, although expensive.
Dining
Summer Palace at the Metropolitan Hotel on Sheikh Zayed Road is the oldest chinese restaurant in Dubai and had great food and good service. The English pub downstairs is worth a visit as well.
