Character and chic
It's quirky, a bit old-fashioned but very comfortable and very well placed. Hopefully the instructions to find it and get in... are now fool-proof!

2/10 Poor

There is not sign for the hotel, it took us 2 hours to find it after we got help from another hotel. The only thing is a buzzer label on a wall 3 by 2 cm. The place is loaded with old antique objects and although the place is renovated, the smell is compelling.

Lovely stay away
Me and my friend where in madrid over the weekend. She was set on hostel but having never stayed in a hostel myself we settled on the comfort of a hotel and this place was extremely fairly priced while still being close to everyrhing. It was very quirky. The room we stayed in for the room with the bathroom and shower in the cloest space itw as odd but honestly still lovely. The air con was great, the bed was nice and hard with was perfect. The staff where so freiendly and nice they had the room ready early, didnt push us to rush out and let us leave our bags there after check out. Its really not as hard to find as people make it out to be its literally right at the opera metro stop. The cleaners where so attentive and the bedding and towels where changed daily. Honestly couldnt reccommend it enough.

Feeling at home right next to the Royal Palace
Amazing little hotel, inside a classic Spanish home of the 19th century. Welcoming staff from Reception to Cleaning personnel. Restaurants around are very high quality and all is reasonably priced. A large table, sufficient chairs to hold a small meeting, kettle and coffee available.

Good price but i was disappointed when how you can hear what's happening in the room next to you. I woke up to an after party happening in the room next to me at 8 am and it feels like im sleeping between them.

Great 1 night stay - so much character- recommend
Tricky to find. Is the big green (residential) door next to the cafe restaurant. A warm welcome and lots of local advice offered. A fantastic room with so much character. Couldn’t get WiFi working and shower was mostly cold. We only stayed one night so not too much of an issue. Highly recommended for a short stay if want somewhere full of character. Clean and friendly. Some parts of the day there are no staff around.

Good location it is an old building. There is no fire escape. It is not in great condition. Room was quaint and good bathroom. Staff was very friendly. Not a 24 hour receptionist, feels more like an apartment, without cooking facilities.

4/10 Fair

If you expect an international standard hotel you will be disappointed. Although this accommodation is quirky and has some charm it lacks the amenities of a “hotel”. There is no signage so it’s very difficult to find and many of the fittings are in need of replacement. Our room had no toilet door, there are no room numbers, many floor rugs are loose fitting and a trip hazard. Definitely not suitable for anyone with mobility issues. The location is good but there is some noise from the square .

You should take this off your list. We couldn't a
We couldn't find anyone to check in ! We went around the corner to Hotel Opera great hotel. We lost money on your recommendation. The "hotel escala" is mearly an apartment. The people of Madrid laughed at us. This Hotel is a joke. We may not use your service again because of this

Found it, its a strange hotel - the host couldnt speak english but was charming. Gave us a room that had a bathroom in a cupboard - we didnt like it - so they changed it to a rather lovely room with Pillars. It was different.

You wanna experience this in Madrid!
If you want to get a real deep experience in Spainish culture, this is one of the things you should do - stay in Escala Opera. We stayed for 2 nights, and really appreciated the gorgeous deco full of historical taste, just as the images show. It was a bit difficult to find it at the beginning because it is one story of a 200 something years old building with the large green main gate shut sometimes. But the staff were very friendly. Location was perfect, the Opera metro station is just at the doorstep. Room was spacious and comfortable. The shower facility could use some upgrade, which is the only room for improvement. Definitely an experience!
