A quirky and cute hotel with a vintage theme, the upper-middle-range Hotel Opera is centrally located in Madrid, not far from the Teatro Real and the Plaza de España, with tourist sights, public transportation, restaurants, and shopping all within easy walking distance. The decor includes hardwood floors, leather chairs, patterned wallpaper, but the faux-wood paneling, pervasive neutral color palette, and lack of artwork do make it feel lackluster. Rooms are smaller than those at other hotels in the area and some get exterior noise; however, the space is organized well and rooms are comfortable, homey, and more than functional. In addition to a large, cozy business lounge with computers and a vintage switchboard, the hotel has a 1950s-inspired bar and a restaurant with singing waiters. There's also a rooftop fitness center and sauna, as well as a recently opened rooftop terrace, and breakfast is free if you book through the hotel's website.
