The Met Hotel, a member of Design Hotels

The Met Hotel, a member of Design Hotels

8/10 Good
"This is a very nice hotel, set in the port area but walkable to the city centre. Alternatively there is a free shuttle to the city centre several times a day (with free returns too). The room was really stylish and modern, with dressing gowns and slippers for each guest. The pool on the roof was really nice. Not heated but that was fine in the Grecian sun! The breakfast was really nice and there were plenty of options. The drinks in the roof or lobby bar are really expensive, but otherwise it’s a nice place to hang out. It could be improved by having chairs on the balcony."

"Rooms were large and well maintained. The pool area was small, but the pool itself nice and large. The gym was a decent size, but quite a low ceiling and as a tall person, it meant I couldn't use the treadmills as my head would have hit the ceiling. Breakfast was very nice. My only complaint is the stinginess around water and coffee. You got 4 Nespresso pods and one bottle of water. Any additional you had a note that would have been charged. For a 5* hotel this smarted a bit and felt more like a 3* style action."
