Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Hotel Opera from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel Opera's location is a highlight for many, putting guests opposite the Madrid Opera House and just a short walk from the Opera subway station and the Royal Palace. Guests appreciate the proximity to attractions and the easy access to the metro, with the Gran Via also within walking distance. The Mediterranean restaurant and varied breakfast, including options for gluten-free diets, are often mentioned positively, while some guests have found attic rooms not ideal due to low ceilings. Many highlight the comfort and cleanliness of the rooms, alongside the convenience of having a complimentary room safe.

i liked the location very much. The Hotel staff was nice and helpful. The beds were also very comfortable.
The room temperature was cold despite adjusting the thermostat. it seemed like the cold came from the window. maybe it needs better insulation.
