Hotel Metropolitan

Adelaide


The 1883 Metropolitan pub has 26 rooms upstairs, with stripy linen, high ceilings, little TVs and various bedding configurations. 'It used to be quite an experience staying here…' says the barman, raising his eyebrows. We're not 100% sure what he meant, but these days you can expect a decent budget sleep in a beaut city location. Shared bathrooms; no parking.
