What guests think

At Opera House Hotel, guests consistently praise the clean, spacious rooms and exceptionally friendly staff, while cautioning that the surrounding Bronx neighborhood feels rough, dirty, and noisy, though subway access and Yankee Stadium proximity are convenient.

Breakfast is a simple continental spread, often praised for coffee and snacks but noted to lack hot items and sometimes gets crowded. Facilities are modest, with a small fitness room and very limited gated parking; several reviews mention out‑of‑order treadmills and scarce spaces. A few guests report street-facing noise or occasional in-room maintenance issues like weak Wi‑Fi or temperamental heating/air. Expect a comfortable, good-value stay inside with urban grit outside.

I liked the hotel and the hospitality, but it is not the safest area to be in night if you’re coming back to the hotel late. The hotel has a very small gated parking lot but its first come first serve.

I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel, the rooms are so spacious and generally clean; the breakfast was healthy and balanced. The room also had a fridge and microwave which I was pleasantly surprised about :-) Staff were very kind, friendly and welcoming. The hotel is a 3 min walk from the subway station so I used the subway during my whole trip. I also enjoyed making use of the gym on the 2nd floor which had variation of equipment. My only negatives were that the corners of the rooms had a little dust which the vacuum cleaner misses, the treadmill has a tear in it and the fact that this is a very rough neighbourhood with drug abuse/poverty etc. I travelled alone and was not afraid and it's important to note there are deprived and developing areas in EVERY city, however I would understand why another person would be apprehensive about walking around the local area

Lovely hotel! Clean, great staff, good breakfast (complimentary). Nice little fitness center also. One treadmill does need to be replaced though since it feels like you’re walking/running on a trail. We were grateful to have parking in a locked lot which has limited space. Beds were very comfortable and it was nice to have a fridge & microwave. Only downside of the whole experience was the area - didn’t feel very safe & lots of trash everywhere. On the upside, the subway was only a couple blocks away and it was convenient to take to Manhattan. We plan to come to the hotel again next time we are in NYC.

Very nice rooms, with high ceiiings. Cool that it used to be an opera house where Marx Brotherds, Harry Houdini and others performed. Just 2 blocks from the subway. BUT: area is not appealing, and no good dining or shopping to walk to. Also, neither of the 2 treadmills in the fitness center was working. Because of the neighborhood, would not stay here again.

Excellent. Great service. Appreciated the breakfasts. Staff are very nice. Area is sketchy but fine. There is limited parking at the venue (call ahead and ask if there is space). Rooms are spacious and clean. Bring your own soap (we did not like the dispensers - they are a bit hard to use). Close to metro.

We were checking in around 6:30 on a Wed. I called for help with parking and the staff directed me to the parking garage over the supermarket across the street, but it said it closes at 10 pm and cars left would be booted. The traffic was very dense and we called back and a staff member went out back of the hotel, where there are a few parking spaces. He said one was open and directed us to the parking lot behind the hotel. He was comforting to me when I had never visited the Bronx before. I was pleased for the warm welcome.

There was water dripping from the two ceiling light fixtures in the bathroom when the occupant above our unit took a shower or bath. I called and got a refund on the room and was moved to another room. However, it was distressing to have to see water leaking like that. There are no good restaurants nearby. The rooms are spacious and otherwise okay.

Checked in my room, first thing was to inspect the bed. Complete fail. Black pepper packet, hair, and what looked like blood stains( video attached) were huge. Called to report it and the person they sent laughed my face and said well it’s just the mattress cover. He called someone else and when he came he changed my room. 2nd room the bed had hair, fridge was hot, WiFi was horrible(couldn’t work) lost money the hand soap, shampoo, conditioner dispensers had mold(pictures attached). Spoke with management upon checking out, and was compensated $35 along with the excuse that the staff was new. I will not stay here again, and will also warn people through my blog and social media about this place.

This was the absolute cleanest property that I have ever stayed at in New York. The staff was great and the entire place was spotless. The neighborhood around the hotel is not the best. Not anything the hotel can do about it though. But once you walk through the doors, it is a very nice relaxing experience.

Love love love this hotel. Stayed for a weekend with my partner. It was a beautiful, comfortable and clean stay. The bed was super comfy and the room was spotless. Breakfast options were okay, fruit, yogurt and bagels - but the breakfast area tended to be crowded. Maybe go early if you’re planning on breakfast. The only downside of the stay was the location. Located in a very unsafe neighborhood. Trash, drugs and bums litter the sidewalk out front. Do not recommend just strolling the neighborhood. It was also very noisy from the street all night long, so if you’re a light sleeper you’re not getting much rest. Sirens went off every 3 minutes. All in all, it was a great stay within the hotel itself. Would definitely recommend a stay here, just beware of location.

The property is lovely, and well designed. Rooms are spacious with high ceilings and marble bathroom counters. My room was extremely comfortable. I have had neck fusion surgery, and needed firmer pillows. 2 perfect pillows arrived within 10 minutes. Breakfasts are not what im used to... which isnt a bad thing. I generally have a protein shake in the morning. At the Opera House they offer a wide selection of pastries, excellent coffee, several juice selections and eggs. All very tasty. I can only say that ive already booked my next stay!

The facility is a bit old but well renovated and maintained. The breakfast was enjoyable, especially the bread, which was delicious and made the mornings pleasant. While the surrounding area is somewhat noisy and not very clean, with limited restaurants and grocery stores, the hotel is conveniently located near a subway station. However, the air-conditioning didn’t work properly and the room was quite cold. Although a mechanic came to check it, the issue returned shortly after. Unfortunately, I caught a cold due to the low temperature during my stay. The hair dryer was also broken, but when I informed the front desk, they promptly provided a replacement, which I appreciated.

Wonderful and professional customer service. The Opera House has been nicely restored, the rooms are small square footage but the very high ceilings make it feel bigger. There are small refrigerator and microwave units in the room. Be aware that it is close to a hospital and sirens abound. The surrounding neighborhood doesn’t seem safe to walk.

The property was good and clean. Spacious room. We had a very poor experience with front desk person. Checked in late night due to delay in flights. That person went off the handle and started cussing in front of kids. Spoke to the GM Emilio in AM who was very kind to give a good listen and promised to address it appropriately. Hence 3 stars. Also do not want that one person to reflect on rest of the staff. In most industries this kind of behavior would be classified as violence towards customer and would get a person loose his/ her job.

The hotel rooms are comfortable, well apportioned, and the staff was friendly and responsive. It was clean and well maintained. There is a continental breakfast in the mornings, and the hotel was surprisingly quiet. The only concern for us was location-related. Although we felt reasonably safe our entire stay, this hotel sits close to both a major juvenile detention facility and and a police station. The neighborhood is economically disadvantaged and can be pretty rough. If you can hang with the neighborhood, there are a lot of pluses. It is less than 2 blocks from the subway, which will allow you to travel around the NYC metro inexpensively. There are also several neighborhood restaurants - the Peruvian one is particularly good - and a small grocery store where you can pick up necessities for reasonable prices. There is also a delightful boba tea place right next door, and a Dunkin' across the street for your caffeine needs.

Was a quick stay— only one night, as I was in NY for work. The check-in was quick and efficient, front desk recommended a place to eat as well. The hotel is walking distance to not only the subway but a lot of other businesses, so the location is nice. The room was clean and spacious for a NY hotel. The only “complaints” I’d add is that the toilet, not the seat, but the toilet itself kept moving when I used it. And I wish they had a hot breakfast, but the fruits were fresh, so I took some and left for work. Overall, would come back again.
