Opera Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This is my third stay at the opera. It is well located near bus & train stations, an easy delightful walk to the old town. The room was an upgrade, spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was fabulous- just about anything anyone could desire. The staff was particularly helpful . I’ll be back!"
