Hotel OPUS Bronx
1440 E 222nd St, Bronx, NY 10469, Bronx, United States
3-star hotel
Guest rating: 3.7 / 5
Hotel OPUS Bronx is a 3-star property set in a residential pocket of the Bronx at 1440 E 222nd St, roughly 3.5 to 4.5 kilometers from the New York Botanical Garden and the Bronx Zoo, two of the borough's signature attractions. The hotel does not have publicly documented on-site amenities such as a pool, gym, or restaurant, so guests should expect a no-frills, budget-oriented stay rather than a resort-style experience. Guest feedback points to comfortable bathrooms and showers as a recurring highlight, while service quality appears inconsistent from one stay to the next. Manhattan's major cultural sites -- the Met Cloisters, Central Park, the Guggenheim, the American Museum of Natural History, MoMA, and Times Square -- are all well outside easy walking distance, generally 13 to 19 kilometers away, making a car or public transit necessary for those excursions. With a 3.7 rating from 186 reviews, the property sits in the middle of the pack for its category, appealing mainly to travelers prioritizing an affordable base near the Bronx's parks and zoo over in-house extras. Room character is not documented beyond guest mentions of basic furnishings, and dining is not confirmed as available on-site.
Best for
This hotel suits budget-conscious travelers and Bronx Zoo or New York Botanical Garden visitors who want an economical base within a few kilometers of those attractions rather than a full-service hotel experience. It is less suited to guests who need confirmed amenities like a gym, pool, or on-site dining, since none are documented here.
Travel tips
Because the New York Botanical Garden and Bronx Zoo are the closest notable attractions at roughly 3.6 and 4.3 kilometers respectively, plan on a short drive, rideshare, or bus/subway connection rather than walking. Manhattan landmarks such as Times Square, Central Park, and the Empire State Building are 15 to 19 kilometers away, so budget significant transit time if you plan a day trip into the city. Given guest reports of in-room shortages (remote controls, microwaves) and inconsistent housekeeping, it's worth confirming room essentials at check-in.
What guests say
Recurring positive feedback centers on a welcoming atmosphere, generally good service, and well-kept bathrooms and showers with easy room access. However, a significant negative thread involves inconsistent front-desk attentiveness, including reports of staff being unresponsive or inattentive to requests such as TV remotes. Other complaints include noise disturbances from neighboring rooms overnight, missing in-room conveniences like a microwave, uncertainty about ice machine access, and instances of smoke odor in a room booked as smoke-free. Housekeeping lapses, such as an unmade bed and lack of room refresh during a multi-night stay, were also noted, alongside a lack of welcoming touches like a note at check-in.";
