Costly but nice

I was traveling with college age kids and the only thing in the room that annoyed us was the quality of the reception on the tv when we tried to watch a soccer game. We had good subway access and near by food choices so we were pretty pleased. Internet access and wifi were good as well. Nice bar...

A great choice, 2 minutes from

A great choice, 2 minutes from Toledo Metro and 10 minutes walk from the Centre of the City. Simple, clean rooms with good bathrooms, strong showers and comfortable beds. Excellent breakfast also. As a central Hotel this is highly recommended.

Modern Hotel in Central Madrid

We arrived early to Madrid but had contacted them before regarding an early check-in. They had a room when we arrived, but it was a smoking room that smelled quite bad. To the staff's credit, they did location us a non-smoking room that was great. The big negative about our stay at the hotel was my wife had her purse stolen while we were in the hotel restaurant. In the staff's defense, the thieves were quite professional, the staff was extremely helpful with our contacting the police and made efforts looking at their security cameras to identify the culprits.

excellent hotel in Madrid

This hotel is in a great location, has a very nice lobby and cafe with reasonable prices. We walked everywhere from his location including the Prado. Loved hanging out at Mayor. Don't miss the botanical garden when you are there. Highly recommend this place.

Excellent room...

Close to Metro and Plaza Mayor. Large, modern room compared to other European hotel standards at this rate. Staff was business-like but not very friendly. Unless you speak and read Spanish, you'll find this hotels' staff can be difficult to communicate with. We survived, however, and would stay again because of its' location and price. Avoid the cafeteria unless you read Spanish...no English or other language translations! We ordered something and, well, let's just say we were suprised at what we were served!

We (a family of 3) stayed in the

We (a family of 3) stayed in the hotel Ganivet for 5 nights. The location was perfect as we were walking to most places. The room were made up everyday. But there was no frige or minibar in the room.The staff were not as helpful though. The first night we asked for a shop to buy some water and the receptionist told us all shops are closed, we went for a walk to have dinner and about 10 meter from hotel was a shop that you could buy what you need. The othr time i asked about places to see and they referred us to tourist information. we only had one day breakfast in the hotel and for the price of 9.50 euro was not worthed. All togetherour stay was pleasant and i will stay again in the hotel and recommend it as well.

Hotel situé à quelques mètres

Hotel situé à quelques mètres de la station "Puerta de Toledo". Chambre très propre, fonctionnelle. Petite astuce pour le petit dej : il y a un bar à l'hotel ou ils servent petit dej pour 3.50 eur alors qu'a la cafétaria de l'hotel c'est 10 eur donc le choix est vite fait ! Hotel tres bien insonorisé. A recommander !
