Laurie wood Review of Doubletree Metropolitan Hotel

As above, I'd say this hotel felt more of a 2 star rather than 4. Though perhaps standards vary from country to country. The room was basic with table, chairs and beds. It came with an air con but with no option to turn it off so we had to buy ear plugs as it was too loud. The bathroom was nothing special, very small and had a shower curtain which became damp smelling and are very unhygienic, though it did come with some toiletries though I would come to expect this of any hotel. The TV was the worst! The quality looked around 480p, it was very fuzzy. Majority of the remote buttons did not work, and they were slow to react, there was no way of viewing a TV guide as it only gave you a channel list, and finally the signal was not great. On our 3rd day we never had our bedroom cleaned and replenished so had to call down to ask them to do it. Finally, we had to call for more toilet roll a couple times as we never had enough for 3 of us and they never brought up enough - they were very slow to bring it up as well meaning we had to end up using box tissues for a while.
For a 4-star, I'd expect luxury (better furnishings), added extras (maybe chocolates on the pillow?) and quick service.
I would recommend this place, providing you go in with a lower expectation, as value wise it's not so bad.
