8.5Verified guest“Nice hotel in the city center. Five minutes from the subway, with all the main sights nearby.”
8.5Verified guest“The staff is very kind and helpful. They stored my suitcase before check-in and had it waiting in my room when I returned – a thoughtful touch. Breakfast was fine, a continental spread with pastries, sausages, juices, and fruit. The location is great, in my favorite part of Madrid. There's an elevator, and the 24-hour reception is well attended and spacious, with vending machines if you need anything. There's also a Carrefour Express right next door. The air conditioning in the room worked well.”
