We booked a Double Room Opera but immediately received an email to apply for an upgrade for only CHF 25 per night, which was confirmed upon check-in. The hotel's location is very convenient, a short walk to several good restaurants (e.g., Trattoria & Soul, Conti, or the group's Opera restaurant accross the street, pricey but worth it, especially with the...

We stayed at Hotel Opera for one night. The room was OK with nice big bathroom. The service was very friendly. Wifi works well and is free. The location is fine for visiting the old city and close to public transport. The buffet breakfast was just OK.

Good Zurich hotel where I spent a night on business. Expensive but what is not expensive in Zurich? Around 10 minutes walk to the old town and a few meters away from the lake. Clean and quiet room on the third floor, although very tiny with a single bed and a miserable pillow. Reliable WiFi connection and - thanks god... More

ROOMS: The rooms are Hotel Opera are very clean, with a more traditional, classical style. After coming from the B2 Boutique hotel, Zurich - we found the room to be a bit smaller in comparison, especially with the slanting roof of Room 504.

The Hotel is located in beautiful part of Zurich, near to lake, opposite to Opera. From airport just take S16 to STADELHOFEN ( about 20 mins ). Rooms were superb, size was great, absolute clean. Internet connection is through cable or wifi for free at good speed, there is nice big led smart TV.

Lovely hotel, close to city centre and old town. Spacious room with lovely view on the lake. Small but functional bathroom. Very clean and silent at night. Excellent mattresses and pillows. We had a nice dinner at the Opera restaurant, just in front of the hotel. We didn t have breakfast atthe hotel so i cannot rate it.

If the reader is American and you are travelling alone, I recommend you select a double room for single occupancy. These rooms are spacious and worth the slightly higher price.
