Hotel Metropolis

gueit and close to shopping area hotel was clean and tidy but old

Old and rundown, black mold in bathroom

Property was very central and very basic, but that's fine for the price, but if you're a light sleeper or like a sweet breakfast this might not be the right place to stay

Upon finding Hotel Metropolis we realised that it was a well-situated hotel for all the restaurants/cafes/bars/museums in the newer part of Kaunas as well as the Science Island and the Akropolis Shopping Centre. It was approximately a 20-minute walk from the hotel to the Old Town where Kaunas Castle is situated. The Metropolis Hotel is a lovely renovated old hotel with lots of character. We felt very safe and comfortable at this hotel. The hotel breakfast was served in the dining room downstairs each day. The drinks consisted of: coffees/teas/fruit juices. The breakfast choices were: scrambled egg/fried bacon/pancakes with ham and cheese in them/assorted cereals/biscuits/slices of cake/cold meats/salad/fresh whole fruit/tinned fruit. There was enough choice but different food could have been swapped/alternated every 3 days perhaps? (We stayed 4 nights, would have been nice to have had mushrooms with scrambled eggs one day for a change). Overall, our stay was very comfortable at Hotel Metropolis. A very well situated hotel. Would recommend to anyone staying in Kaunas.

Very run down property. Nice staff. Good location. Terrible bed.

The location of the hotel is amazing because it is in a non-traffic street full of shoppers and restaurants around a close to the Archangel Saint Michael Church and Kaunas university. Inside is a reminder of the luxury of the soviet era with all the good and bad that implies. The family where I was had very poor maintenance.

We stayed one night (Sunday) with our 14 year old and 11 year old. The hotel is pretty outdated and very dark inside and could do with a bit of a refurbishment (e.g. our basin was cracked), but my 14 year old still talked about the hotel a few days later - it he felt like he had gone back in time a little with lots of traditional attributes e.g. an actual key to our room. The rooms and space we had were huge and everything was clean and had everything we needed. Beds were comfy and we slept well (I had seen some reviews it could be noisy at night). Modern windows have been put in which was lucky as at the time building work was happening on a site opposite and they started around 6am (though not loud enough to wake the boys up). We would happily stay there again, location was good and it had all we needed though appreciate its tired decor might not suit all.

Great location. Hotel is quite dated but ok for price. Limited English amongst some staff.

Extremely convenient location and spacious room

Do not stay at this hotel if you’re someone who likes to sleep. Perfect for insomniacs who may use the hotel as a storage space. If you’re looking for a bad nights sleep, this hotel is for you. Noisy outside, noisy inside. Thin walls - cleaners with loud radios early in the morning. Do not stay on a weekend with loud club next door - we were at other end and still felt the bass and screaming of people. Thin windows - any noise outside we heard.

It’s an old building, hallways still array it, but my room was perfect. It’s looked freshly refurbished, clean. Bedsheets smelled beautiful and bathroom was efficient too. Location is great, busy steps away, yet the hotel was quiet. Stayed few nights with a Christmas fairs going on next block, slept through all that. Surely didn’t expect much for the price, but it ended up being fabulous stay.

Excellent location very close to the museums, Christmas markets and a short walk from the old town. The staff were lovely, and I appreciate having a place to store my bag until it was time to leave the town. The room was a decent price for what I paid.

Easy to get to and from the airport (1 euro bus each way), and close to most of the sights, and it has a small handsome lobby that's surprisingly nice for the price. Those are the pros - the cons are that it almost never had visible staff there at any time, i had to ring the bell several times - even at check out time - to speak to anyone. When i was checked in staff declined to mention they'd lock the door at 10pm each night, then later was visibly annoyed when i tried to come in at 10.10pm and kept trying the door. The bed i had was the noisiest creakiest bed I've ever slept in to the point that i think i woke myself up rolling over one night, also like many European hotels they have inexplicably small duvets for the bed size meaning with temps below freezing outside you have to choose which bit of you will be left sticking out of the duvet. The cleaners have radio's that they use on top volume, so from 8am you hear nothing but cleaners talking to eachother over loud radios, then meeting up in person to blab face to face as well, right outside the rooms. Also Hotels.com had said they had taken part payment but the hotel insisted they hadn't - i tried to explain to reception that this had happened to me before and it turned out in that instance i was right but they just wanted oayment so charged me the hole amount and i would just have to look into it myself later. One of those experiences where you feel like an inconvenience, not a paying guest. Could be a lot better

Great staff

It was terrible hotel.I will never stay again.

Other 3 star

Wonderful helpful staff

Very nice staff...friendly and always willing to help

Worst hotel experience. Family room on the main street on a Friday night opposite a night club with music blasting until 3am and was only staying there the night before an early flight. No AC and impossible to keep windows open with the noise.

Great place, amazing views!
