We spent our last three vacation nights at Hotel Opera. We stayed two nights in a queen room. It was very clean, spacious and comfortable. Unfortunately the only windows were the skylights since we got the last available room...top floor. For our last night we splurged and stayed in a terrace room. This room has a terrace with an awesome... more

Not only was the location perfect - safe, non-touristy, right on the metro and near the Palacio with fun outdoor cafes, an incredible park but the hotel itself was great, including the air-conditioning, an essential in July in... more

Cost... more

Plus the Hop-on/Hop-off bus stop for sightseeing the best way to see Madrid again nearby. As for... more

If you want to go here: -Take earplugs, as there is noise from the street. -Take a torch, as switching on the bathroom light actually lights up the whole bedroom, reason being pretty frosted green glass of bathroom (but clearly not good for needing the loo in the night if you're sharing a room). -You'll need the heating on at... more
