Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is situated in a very lively area, and yet it remains fairly quiet inside, offering a clean and comfortable stay with no traffic noise. The staff is pleasant, attentive, and helpful, but might require some pantomime skills due to limited English proficiency. The location is excellent, central to all the major sights in the city, but some rooms may lack natural light. The dining experience, although limited, offers convenient options just a stone's throw away. Overall, a great value for the money with daily cleaning service being a nice touch.
I could feel the Spanish charm in the fairly small room with windows opening onto an internal courtyard. It was surprisingly quiet inside despite the bustling area. The service was top-notch with the staff guiding me to a nearby parking lot. The location was superb, just a bit tricky for taxis. The dining options were convenient and varied, ideal for a quick bite. A great value for the money!
This hotel was a gem in the heart of Madrid with a prime central location. The rooms, though small, were impeccably clean and surprisingly cozy, boasting a nice bathroom with great shower pressure. The service was top-notch, with staff going above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. The location couldn't be beaten, offering easy access to all the main sights. The dining options were somewhat limited but convenient, and the facilities were just what I needed for a comfortable stay.
The hotel is centrally located, making it convenient to explore all the downtown Madrid attractions easily. While the rooms were a bit dark and got too hot, the friendly staff made our stay enjoyable. The dining options were limited, but the superb location and attentive service added to the overall experience.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were very modern and spacious for European standards, clean, and secure. However, the overpowering scent throughout the room was a major downside.
The hotel is centrally located in Madrid's heart, making it convenient for exploring the city. The rooms, although spacious and clean, lack soundproofing, allowing noise to filter in. The service is exceptional with friendly and attentive staff. The dining options nearby offer a variety of choices, though the hotel itself has limited dining facilities. Overall, a great value for a budget stay with access to public transport and local attractions.
