One of the best hotels
My daughter and I stayed at this hotel during the last night of our recent Europe trip, during which we had stayed at altogether 5 hotels in 4 cities. We rank this hotel the best in terms of everything: price, service, hotel facilities, the location, and etc. We will definitely recommend it to our friends. And if we will return to Madrid for another visit, we will surely stay at this hotel.

stolen computer, staff unhelpful, awful
During my absence from my hotel room, my suitcase was searched and my computer was stolen. At the time of the theft, at midnight, I got any assistance from the hotel staff . After a week, I recovered my computer that was sold in the thieves market. I had to write myself to the travel agency to have my hotel night reimbursed. The hotel didn't pay for any other expenses I had because of the theft (change of hotel, telephone calls, new software, travel). Awful experience!

Good location but somewhat hard to find
After walking around the area, we found ourselves in unfamiliar surroundings. Stopped to ask several people including police officers how to get back to the hotel. They supposedly had no idea what we were talking about. Finally, we got directions to get back to the hotel after wandering for over an hour. I would suggest asking at the hotel for a map of the area before venturing out.

Money-saving tip:
Not Applicable
Be careful of the cab drivers. We were told it would cost about $30 from the airport and the cab driver charged us $50. When I tried to say that amount was not what was shown on the meter, my traveling companion just paid the bill and we exited the taxi. Not the way I wanted to start my trip to Spain, but after an all night flight didn't want to argue about it.

Terrific setting
Helpful staff. Excellent location. Short walk to everything -- we even walked to the Prado. Never used the Metro in our week there! Breakfast in charming room on top of the hotel. Worth every penny (separate charge): excellent bread, eggs to order, bowls and bowls of fabulous fruit. We also enjoyed the lovely antique elevator (there's a modern one too).

Centrally Located, Quiet, & Comfortable
We stayed at the hotel for five days at the start of our trip through Spain and liked it so well we finished our trip with another two-day stay there. It is close to Sol, Plaza Mayor, and a Metro stop. You can easily walk to any of the major tourist attractions from the hotel. Very nice staff as well. The bathroom is a bit small, but then all of the rest we saw in Spain were not any larger!

Short walk from hotel
Try the chocolate and churros just around the corner from the hotel (walking towards Gran Via)! Much better than the bigger hyped chocolate restaurant in the Sol area.

Great value
The hotel was a great soothing oasis from the chaos of the city. Front desk help was outstanding. With Hertz and Avis out of cars, we asked the hotel for help and they had us a vehicle in just a few minutes. The rooms were spotless and comfortable. For the price it was an outstanding value. we booked two rooms. one for the adulescent children and one for us.
