About

Hotel Opera

Hotel Opera sits on Cuesta De Santo Domingo, about a 5-minute walk from the Manzanares river and just over a block from the Opera metro. The 15-room property puts you within easy reach of the Royal Palace, Plaza Mayor and Gran Via, yet guests often note how calm the surroundings feel.

Rooms mix modern comfort with classic touches, and several include spa baths or terraces. The hotel runs a breakfast buffet that guests consistently rate highly, and the front desk offers concierge help and free wake-up calls.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Location near the Royal Palace and Opera metro — Guests repeatedly single out the setting — a short walk to the Royal Palace, Plaza Mayor and Gran Via, with two metro stops close by.
  • Breakfast buffet that guests praise — Multiple reviews highlight a generous breakfast with hot options, vegetarian choices, and something for everyone.
  • Friendly and helpful staff — From check-in to the concierge desk, several guests mention warm welcomes and patient, knowledgeable service.
  • Modern rooms with spa baths and balconies — The Double Room Spa Bath and Double Room Terrace Spa Bath offer extra comfort, and guests note clean, well-kept interiors.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Price for the class feels high to some — The Price and service rating sits at 7, and one guest noted paying $346 for a room with a jacuzzi, suggesting value can vary.
  • Occasional cleanliness oversights — One guest, self-described as critical about cleanliness, found the shower could have been cleaner.
  • No parking and no pets — The hotel lists no on-site parking, and pets are not allowed, which may limit some travellers.
  • Small property with limited rooms — With only 15 rooms, availability can be tight and the property lacks the anonymity of larger hotels.
