This hotel is incredible! The front desk was very helpful as our flight arrived very early. We came back a few hours later and our rooms were ready. The room and bathroom were very spacious, and we didn’t hear any noise from other hotel guests, unlike another hotel we stayed at later in the week. The breakfast food was top-notch, and staff were incredibly kind and helpful, always smiling. One night our family played cards and were served an amazing Sangria made with Rose! We tried to have it replicated at other establishments and no luck. The location was close to everything, but felt private. We would definitely consider staying here if we return to Madrid.

Great place to stay . Super clean with the friendliest staff . I have stayed here several times and my experience has always been the best . If I had a suggestion would be for them to invest in some King Size beds . I always ask for a double bed and everytime I'm given two twin size beds next to each other , which it would be fine if the beds did not keep on pulling appart .

Great location with lots of sights within walking distance. Staff were very helpful and the breakfast was great. The one issue we did have was noise from other guests. This disturbed our sleep one more than one night. You could clearly hear conversations through the walls. Some street noise is to be expected but internally better sound proofing would be helpful.

This hotel is in a great neighborhood close to a lot of attractions and great restaurants. I would suggest requesting an upper floor as those rooms have been renovated and are beautiful. The breakfast was amazing with so many options from healthy to decadent. At night the breakfast area turns into a lounge with super friendly staff and great drinks.
