Liabeny Hotel Madrid

Great loction at the center of Madrid. Sol metro gets you everywhere. Within walking distance of many neat places such as Plaza Mayor, Plaza Sol, Palacio Real and Tourist hop on hop off bus. Only negative where the small hard pillows

I overnighted in transit and this hotel was perfect: 30 mins from the airport by Metro, then a very short walk. The single room was spacious, well appointed, comfortable and modern. Tucked away in a corner, it was quiet, even with the window open. I skipped breakfast so I can't comment on that but I would definitely stay here again!

The hotel is near most key places and at a very good price. The service was excellent. If I go to Spain againt this will be my hotel.

Took a small group of Americans there. Off season so the price was attractive but even if it had been more it would have been worth it. It is a solidly impressive hotel property and given the price and the location I would say one of the absolute best values in any major European capital.

Very well located, in the heart of the city, walking distance from everywhere.

It is hard to find a quality modern 4 star hotel in this area due to the location in the middle of the "tourist" area. Most are run down, or too noisy. We are repeat visitors at Liabeny as it is located near theaters, restaurants and the local attractions yet is clean, comfortable with an efficient staff. Great on site restaurant, bar and cafeteria are a plus.

The hotel is absolutely in the best location possible. It is a 3 minute walk to both Sol and Gran Via the two most central metro stations in Madrid. I stayed in this hotel 9 months ago and enjoyed its location so much that i came back. It is also set back a bit so you get the location without the noise from the busy streets. The rooms are modern and if you ask they will give you free WiFi for your entire stay. The cleaning staff is friendly. The reception staff is generally less than friendly (maybe just towards Americans). They don't smile or greet you when you walk in and they frequently will brush off simple questions that you ask (directions, for an iron, to call a cab).

Very pleasant, quiet, comfortable. Staff exceptionally helpful. A first-rate experience in every way.

None of the posted reviews included mention of what a confusing labrynth the neighborhood is. I arrived at night and wandered around trying to find a recommended restaurant and quickly got hopelessly lost. Just a heads up to pay extremely close attention to where you are, street names, etc. Hotel has a fun, lively, lounge-y bar that permits smoking. The business center is not comprehensive, but if you just want to the surf the net, it'll do. Some very nice lounging areas in the lobby. Location of hotel is central, as everyone has said, but it's not the most beautiful or serene. For a more upscale neighborhood, look at hotels closer to the Prado museum. You're still just a quick bus ride away from the puerto del sol area. Cab from the airport cost 24 euros not including tip and took around 20 minutes.

I've visited Madrid on at least six occasions staying usually in cheap hostels or 2 star hotels within the Plaza de Sol area. This is the best place I've stayed in. It's a 3 star hotel and deserves the 3 stars, it's very clean, modern, and professionally run, the staff are attentive and most speak English. If you never been to Madrid the Plaza del Sol is not only the geographic centre of Spain it's also considered the heart of Madrid and in my opinion the best place to be based, Liabeny is literally a stones throw from the Plaza. Considering it's class and location it's relatively cheap depending on when and how you book a room. I've paid more for a poor hostel! Only complaint for me is that the internet service via the TV was hopelessly slow and virtually unuseable.
