This hotel is gorgeous. Its location is very centric, you can walk around to most of the main attractions as Mercado San Miguel, Plaza Mayor or Museo del Prado. Its staff is friendly and helpful. Taxi station is at left corner and train station right in front. As a lady, the only downside was the hair dryer. So, bring your own with an European electric converter (lol).

The hotel was EXTREMELY busy. There were so many people which may be typical for busy Madrid. The staff was friendly and helpful however it was very transactional due to the nature of just how busy it was and how many people were always around. The rooms were clean but nothing special. They felt like dorm rooms. The main attraction is the rooftop bar and restaurant on the floor below with beautiful views. As many people come to visit those two locations, there are again, just so many people in the building all the time which was a lot. Location was good though- right across the street from Plaza de Espana
