The room was very old, the beds were worn out with very worn mattresses, the carpets were very dirty and the bathroom was terrible, there were two large insects inside the room. At the main door the code they provide works after many attempts and for parking at night it is not possible to access it. On Saturday morning around eleven the reception was closed and there was no one to complain to. I do not recommend this hotel.

Very nice rooms with a beautiful view of the area. Very clean, the staff was hospitable, especially Amin who is with the breakfast crew. Any questions you have, you can ask him. The hotel from the outside is a bit of an ofset from the region, a high rise with very little high-rises. But we had a wonderful stay nonetheless.

I've chosen this hotel because of the price. You know, the hotel much better than I thought. Clean, equipped and has BRILLIANT view out of the window on the city, because rooms are getting for checking in from the 12th floor. The city surounded by the mountains. Nice place for relaxing, breakfast is simple, I would say ordinary, you can have a bottle of water, yogurt, some fruit. It's worth to stay here. Nice elderly woman was on reception 🥰

I stayed while on a business trip. The hotel has definitely seen better days. A depressing East Bloc look to it. The staff were polite but not very helpful. The breakfast was five euros a day and terrible. Instant eggs etc. …

I have to admit when I first saw the eye sore that is the opal hotel I was dreading going in and seeing what my room was like. I was pleasantly surprised by that. …

Off/out of season. Covid-19 precautions in place. The lady who met us in reception was lovely and explained how things were and how we could have food delivered. The hotel was "dead" and lacked atmosphere. The suite we booked was plain and simple. Everything was in order. In the morning my wife noticed that the shower head was ill threaded and as such she had inadvertently flooded the bathroom floor (sprayed up over the top of the curtain rail). I cleaned this up, refitted the shower head (better - not perfect) and had my shower too. Parking was easy and undercover. Would use again, but we do try and vary the hotels we stay at in this region.

The building is in need of renovation, very poor wifi, no facilites at all here not even something like a vending machine!!!very limited hours reception, good luck finding a member of staff after 15:00! your not welcome to use the reception area in the evenings either! They like you to only live in your room! Not anywhere i want to return to in a hurry!
