Great location. I appreciated the front desk's 24 hour service. The room was basic and kept clean. The housekeeping was punctual, and efficient. I would have loved coffee service available in the lobby, but was able to go out to find coffee a couple of blocks away. I would definitely stay there again.

It is very close to Puerta del Sol, so for us it was a perfect location. The reception is staffed 24x7 and every staff member was welcoming and very polite. The room and ensuite bathroom was clean, no issues. Overall, we had a very comfortable 3 night stay and feel it was good value for money. I would be happy to stay there again.

Staff was very helpful and gave us a warming welcome. A/C wasn’t working, it seems that they disable the units when it isn’t summer. Location is absolutely wonderful, it is in the middle of everything, train and metro are at walking distance.

Otherwise the place is awesome for ur stay in the city of Madrid
