thats a simile because it uses "like"...
if it said "To make the place hell itself" it would be a metaphor

[A] metaphor (from the Greek: metapherin rhetorical trope) is defined as a direct comparison between two or more seemingly unrelated subjects" and I would suggest you use the site I am getting this quote from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaphor to learn more of what a metaphor is. A metaphor using the information you have stated could go like this:
This place is the same as the embers of hell itself
Good Luck!!!

a metaphor describes something AS something else eg "the place is an emblem of hell itself". a simmilie describes something as something else using like or as...so your quote is a simmilie.

It is a simile because it uses the word "like". Any sentence comparing 2 things using like or as is a simile. If you compare two things with out using like or as it is a metaphor.

No, it's a statement.
You need to give the comparable description of hell and the place to link them in the metaphor.

Definitely a simile. You are implying a comparison.
A metaphor would be something like - this city is the flower amongst thorns.
A simile is - this city is like a flower amongst thorns, or - this city is as outstanding as a flower amongst thorns
