Very comfortable beds, wonderful nespresso machine and kitchenette, lovely views and very wuiet. The gas fireplace was nice. The thermostat was difficult to use, and one room had a vent that seemed to blow cool air over the bed despite turning the temp up.
The checkout time was ridiculously early - 10am on Fri, Sat, Sunday. There are few options for groceries after 9pm - we were stuck with the gas station nearby, and it was completely out of almost everything, including milk.

We were in London to attend Sunfest for a couple days, so just an overnight stay at the boutique Hotel Metro. We arrived early evening, parked in the loading zone near the entrance. Check-in was easy. The front desk clerk was friendly and helpful. Once we had our room number and understood the keyless entry, we unloaded our car into our room. Then parked across the street in the Covent Garden Market parking garage for just $C17 that was good for 24 hours. Be aware that entry to the parking...

The hotel was very clean and up to date. The front desk was absolutely wonderful, very kind and helpful. Loved that the parking allowed us to park right outside of our room (ground floor). The only thing that could have made it better would be the ability to enter our room through the sliding door with the key. The beds were sooo comfortable!
