Petit Palace Opera Hotel
Homey Hotel at the Heart of Madrid
Magnificent Madrid Series 3 

After an almost four hour train- ride from Caceres, Spain,
we arrived at Madrid at about two o’ clock in the afternoon.
From the train station, we took taxi to Petit Palace Opera,



... and the friendly taxi driver  commented ‘Kilometro Sero- perfect location, 
you are in the  heart  and the center of Madrid". He wasn’t exaggerating.


Petit Palace Opera Hotel, is located at the
Calle Arenal the centermost street in Madrid.



…with Plaza del Sol on one end,


…and the Plaza de Oriente on the other end.

 

The hotel being in an old, yet awesomely
restored and well preserved building and
a small contemporary designed lobby,

 

…and a comfortable guest lounge,.

 

...that also serves as a business center as there is
 a laptop and  printer that guests could use for free.

  

  Check in was a breeze, and the people 
at the front desk were friendly.

 

The hotel rooms could be accessed
either by a fast and modern elevator,

 

…or by centuries old wooden stairways.




And we were immediately on our
way to our room at the 4th floor.


 




This would be our home in Madrid for the next five days-
our final stop of  my family’s  European spring vacation.

Stay

Our suite, a Family Room was
spacious and was very beautiful.

 
 
It had huge, comfortable king size bed,

 

…and a cozy double deck beds for the kids.

 

My young son immediately claimed
the upper deck as his own territory.


It also had a large working and reading table that doubles
 as a vanity desk, provided with varied electrical outlets
configured to fit any electronic gadget from other countries.

 

It has a huge wide- screen LCD flat TV
with superb audio/video systems.



The room had a spacious closet that
had an electronic safe, and a minibar

 

The room had a luxurious bathroom.


And had an awesome shower room with a whole
body shower that sprays water from all directions.


It was provided with plush amenities, 






…and adequate toiletries.






A huge room had one landline
phone found at the bedside.

 

We were happy with the very fast
complimentary Wi FI connection.
