The Met is a lovely old hotel! The room was great, clean and quiet. They have a nice bar/restaurent and live piano background music on our day of arrival. Easy access to the shops, food and late night music if that what you want.

The check- in process was easy, the front desk persons were very friendly. Just to note that this hotel doesn't have AC due to the age of the property, however fans are available of you need them. The person greeting us for breakfast was not very friendly and seemed to be upset when one of us changed the breakfast order.

The bed was extremely comfortable and the shower was epic. Parking is a block away and a bit of a challenge, but was only 10 euros.
