❤️ London Review
Hotel Metro
The Hotel Metro in downtown London, Ontario, is a contemporary haven situated in a 19th-century brick building. It's right in the heart of the city, which gives you countless food and drink options in the immediate vicinity, plus the nearby Covent Market, a bustling local favorite. The hotel's mobile check-in is smooth and convenient, and the rooms are clean, modern, and comfortable. However, locating the entrance can be a bit tricky if you're relying on Google Maps.
The rooms feature a Euro Open Concept with rainfall showers and deep soaking tubs in some suites. The sleek, designer decor includes 37-inch flat-screen TVs, in-room Keurig coffee makers, and complimentary WiFi. One notable aspect is the Vera Wang mattresses in the premium rooms, ensuring you sleep in style. You might want to request upper-floor rooms like the Loft Room, which has exposed 1892 bricks and offers excellent views of downtown London. Or go for a Marvelous King or Queen Room for high ceilings and all the modern amenities you could wish for.
The hotel’s location is perfect if you're attending events at Budweiser Gardens or exploring the local attractions like Victoria Park or Museum London. From murals to music festivals, there's always something to do just a few blocks away. Bars, nightclubs, and an array of restaurants are within a 10-15 minute walk, making it easy to explore the vibrant nightlife without needing a car.
That said, there are some quirks you might want to be aware of. The keyless, contactless check-in process has sparked confusion for some guests, and the underground parking isn’t the easiest to find. It's located on a one-way street and accessing it requires some maneuvering. Room soundproofing is another area that could use improvement; you might hear some noise from adjacent rooms or the floor above.
The staff at Hotel Metro are often praised for their friendliness and professionalism, making your stay as comfortable as possible despite any initial hiccups. If you're in town for a quick stop or a city event, this boutique hotel offers fair rates and comfortable amenities that make it a solid choice for a short or long stay.
