8.3Verified guest“The double bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was fabulous with many healthy options, great breads, fresh cheese, tomato, good oil, and fresh fruit. The location was great—no metro at the door, but you could walk to many tourist spots.”
8.3Verified guest“I really appreciated the central heating, work desk, and TV with satellite channels in the single room. The hotel's location was excellent, a moderate distance from an urban park.”
8.3Verified guest“The staff were charming and resolute. Perfect for anyone who wants to explore Madrid's center. They gave us advice and guidance on parking, which was great given the area.”
8.3Verified guest“Loved everything. Breakfast was incredible with lots of variety, fresh fruits, and Spanish delicacies. Staff were friendly and attentive. Location is ideal whether you arrive at Barajas or Atocha—from Atocha it's just a few minutes walk. Rooms are super comfortable and named after Spanish writers. My room had a balcony to the street but was quiet. Beds were wide and comfortable. Hot water was perfect. They only provide 2-in-1 shampoo, so bring your own conditioner. There's a safe, fridge, and complimentary water in the room. Reception offers flavored waters and sweets, and there's a Nespresso machine in the lobby. Plenty of dining options nearby.”
8.3Verified guest“The location was fantastic, near the art museums. Staff were competent and efficient, and the bathroom was sparkling clean.”
8.3Verified guest“Double room was very comfortable and clean. Great location near museums and parks, close to metro and Renfe stations. The price is a bit high.”
