Dating from 1899 and built by the Russian architect Nikolai Andrejev (1856-1911), the Metropolis has seen some extraordinary changes over the years but still manages to maintain its original charm. The reception area and staircase is worth a look at even if you’re not staying here, and if you are then the rooms have, somewhat unfortunately, lost almost all of their grandeur. Free wireless internet is available throughout, plus there’s cable television and en suite bathrooms.

I enjoyed a very comfortable stay here in early September '08. The location really couldn't be better. Easy for buses, or a stroll along the lovely pedestrianised thoroughfare just a few meters away.My room was warm, comfortable bed, & well appointed bathroom. I even had a small balcony.This is an ageing hotel, but that is part of it's charm. Staff were friendly & helpful. breakfast is included....I never went hungry!I have just booked my return visit for early December '08. Don't expect 4/5 star luxury...what you can expect is a warm welcome & great value.Les. Hallett.
