The hotel had all we needed in a convenient location in the historic center, making it easy to explore the city attractions on foot. The rooms were clean and comfortable, although not sound-proof, and a bit chilly upon arrival due to an open window. The service was excellent, with the staff being very helpful and understanding, although lacking in friendliness. The dining experience offered a good variety of choices but could have been fresher. Overall, a nice stay with a few minor drawbacks.

I had a mixed experience at the Opera Hotel. While I found the rooms to lack soundproofing and the noise disrupted my sleep, the bed was indeed comfortable offering some privacy. The service was friendly, even better than I expected, but lacking in some attentiveness. The location was convenient, close to shopping areas and major attractions, although the pricing could be more competitive. Dining was satisfactory with a decent selection, but a noisy ambiance. Overall, it was a decent stay with its ups and downs.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were well equipped, and the bathroom was very nice, but unfortunately, they never really warmed up during my two-day stay. The location was excellent, right in the heart of the city's busy shopping streets, perfect for a shopping trip. However, there was a persistent unpleasant smell in the room that lingered even with the windows open.

The service was friendly overall. They put up a baby bed for us and gave us a kettle to prepare the baby bottle. However, they could have been more proactive in offering help with carrying luggage up the stairs, especially when there were no other customers to attend to.

Location

The location is very central, just a few minutes away from the railway station and close to the bustling shopping district. It's perfect for exploring the city but can get a bit busy due to its prime spot in the shopping area.

Facilities

The hotel offers clean facilities and is conveniently located right in the center of the city, making it perfect for those looking to explore the area. However, the persistent smell in the room was a drawback that impacted the overall experience.
