Hotel Opera Madrid: awful
we spent 12 nights in Hotel Opera in Madrid.
paid on beforehand so we couldn't escape anymore.
such a bad experience never again we hope.
rooms are very unpractical, small and dusty.
no hooks, no drawers, no proper place to put away your stuff.
only dwarfs and children can use the toilet properly because in the place they give
you to relax you get stuck all the time and you hurt yourself trying to clean
the other end of your body.
forget about oxygen because you will be obliged to sleep with the windows closed
against the noise and the smell but the heat - without the airco - in this small room
was unbearable. so we left Madrid with sinusitis, laryngitis and bronchitis caused
by the sometimes also smelly airco.
the hotel is extremely noisy. all kinds of noises both from the inside as from the outside.
forget about sleeping. 3 different large recycling containers in front of the hotel
are emptied on 3 different moments every 2 nights again ! and all rooms are
situated at that same street side. walls apparantly are very thin because
every night again we could enjoy the really disgusting throat and nose noises
from the other hotel patients in rooms near to ours.
lucky we were we didn't smell the farts we heard.
cooking and sewer smell are always around in the corridors like in some obscure
3rd world hotel in some disadvantaged neighbourhood.
the breakfast room is small and dark and without any windows to the outside.
only some lucky moments we could have our breakfast without the traffic and sewer smells.
and when you like your tea with lukewarm water this is the place to be !
don't count on the pictures of this hotel. they are misleading and deceptive.
this hotel is overrated and overpriced in all respects.
they probably had to bribe some big shot to get the stars they claim.
it is a real rip-off.
