“The Opera House Hotel in the Bronx impresses with its thoughtful service and surprisingly spacious rooms, especially given its price point. Its proximity to the subway simplifies trips into Manhattan, making it a practical base for city explorations. While the immediate neighborhood might raise eyebrows initially, the hotel itself is secure and well-maintained, offering a comfortable and culturally rich experience.”

Excellent Stay Experience

useful fridge comfortable bed locked parking

The room included a useful fridge and microwave. I found the beds comfortable. Free parking in a locked lot was available. It had limited spaces. The subway was a couple blocks away, it offered convenient access to Manhattan.

The neighborhood did not feel safe. There was trash everywhere. The area requires extra caution when walking around, especially at night. I advise to be very vigilant of your surroundings.

Dining

9/10

Breakfast had various breads, coffees, juices, and teas. The selection allowed for a quick start to the day. I believe it was from 7am until 10am in a dedicated area. The hotel also provides unlimited teas and coffees.
