Hotel Ópera

Hotel was very nice, clean, service was great, cafe downstairs was good and the location of the hotel is excellent!!!!!! I would just caution travelers to bring ear plugs because you can hear the activities in the street (my room was facing the street) and the doors next door. Nothing that couldn't be easily blocked out with ear plugs.

Very close to Palacio Real and the Metro. Most walking is uphill so more difficult for older folks. Hotel was lacking free daily water and coffee/tea in room as well as tissues unless requested. Staff friendly and helpful. Room adequate and clean. Vegan restaurant and laundromat around the corner.

Lovely hotel, central to sights/restaurants/cafes/underground/taxis. Walking time 5 mins to Palace and Cathedral, 10mins Plaza Mayor, Arzabal Market and directly opposite the Opera House. 30 mins walk to Prado museum or a few minutes on the underground. The hotel is noisy outside at night but it is a city. Room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast buffet was cheaper to buy each day than to book before hand. Good selection of food. Mix of continental and english. Cooked breakfast is Spanish style but not bad. If you are a tea lover take your own teabags (Liptons are so weak!). No tea making facilities but there is a cafe attached to the hotel which is very good for drinks, pizza, tapas. Hotel evening menu is also available in here but not very good.

Amor Madrid!!Opera was the perfect area,and perfect hotel!Loved it!!!

On a recent one night stay in Madrid we booked into Hotel Opera. The location of the hotel was excellent and the staff were pleasant and professional. Our room no. 602 was small but adequate for a night. The shower-room walls and door are made of obscure glass. The glass door didn't fit properly in that it had a cm gap open around it when shut and it didn't have a lock. The showerhead was weak, The drain was blocked so the showertray filled up and we were afraid it might overflow and flood the showerroom. However the worst thing about room 602 was the noise. What we thought was the noise of the air conditioner when we checked into the room and assumed we could turn off, came from the hotel's ducting system on the exterior wall across the corridor which hummed and throbbed all night long disturbing our sleep. In the early morning the noise level increased with intermittant grinding, squealing, clanky noises. It was the worst night's sleep we had all holiday. The noise wasn't audible further down the corridor on the far side of the elevators. We felt exhausted from lack of sleep. When we complained in the morning the staff were apologetic but said there was nothing they could do. It seemed to us they were familiar with complaints about the disturbing noises. If you want a night's sleep avoid room 602!
