Hotel Plaza Opera

“Good sleep quality,but room fittings incomplete.”

The hotel is sited on a fairly quiet street just north of the historic centre.In contrast to the other hotel I used in this city ,the room ( first floor front) was quiet at night.There was little noise from adjacent rooms,and none from above,despite the lack of carpet.

The hotel is sited on a fairly quiet street just north of the historic centre.In contrast to the other hotel I used in this city ,the room ( first floor front) was quiet at night.There was little noise from adjacent rooms,and none from above,despite the lack of carpet. In respect of the other essential attributes for sleep,the beds were firm and comfortable,with proper smooth sheets large enough for the mattress.There was an upper sheet,not a duvet cover or duvet- ideal for the frightful temperatures here. Airconditioning had power in reserve,although it ceased working when the keycard( a plain piece of plastic will not work) was removed.The curtain was opaque. More refined attributes of the room were weaker,apart from the minibar which had a good selection of drinks ,mostly in glass,not plastic.. The appearance was very bare and storage was poor apart from four small drawers in the wardrobe.( only captive hangars).There were no bedside cabinets (just tables),but the main annoyance was the total absence of coathooks in room or bathroom. The bathroom was the usual modern failure.Although large enough for a bath,there was none.The shower lacked a door and easily wet the remainder of the room.A soapdish was not provided. The basin was very shallow but did have a functional waste plug.Bidet and WC( modern flush geometry; very good) were fine. We had evening meals and breakfasts in the rooftop restaurant with a fine view.Both were entirely satisfactory.Breakfast had waitress service for tea and coffee.The teapots were supplied with (fairly) hot water- I did not take coffee.There was a really good toaster,and the usual cold selections. I would use the hotel again.Perhaps they may bother to drill a few holes and complete the work.
