About The Metropolitan
The Esplanade runs along Whitley Bay's seafront, and The Metropolitan occupies a spot right on it, putting the coast within easy reach and giving some of its seven rooms a direct view over the water. It's a compact, laid-back B&B rather than a grand hotel, with rooms kept simple and understated - comfortable without being fussy.
Guests get free Wi-Fi throughout, air conditioning, and a restaurant and bar on site, alongside breakfast each morning. There's also a gym and a spa/sauna for those who want to unwind, plus a lift, concierge service and facilities for business or weddings. Free on-site parking makes arriving by car straightforward.
Beyond the front door, Whitley Bay's own pubs, restaurants and entertainment venues are all close by, making it easy to combine a quiet stay with evenings out along the coast.

What guests say
Paul was a great host! Breakfast was fabulous, there are great pubs and takeaways nearby. We stayed here on our final night of Hadrians Wall hike so the visit was quick but the beds were great, rooms clean, and hospitality was 10/10! Would stay here again.

Paul was a nice host and gave some great recommendations for things to do while we were in Whitley Bay. The breakfast was very nice and generous amount, and the room was nice. One negative is that we booked our room based on the number of beds, and the floor was not indicated. As a result, we ended up at the top of five staircases. This should be noted on the website by the host to help guests who have mobility issues.
