A Very nice hotel, interior charm is traditional, good staff and cleanliness, the exterior is a little less, Madrid streets are with litter. The absolute hidden charm is the rooftop pool and terrace…book this place just for that for when you want to chill from walking around central Madrid.

It always helps when your room is upgraded when you arrive! Lovely room, very clean and comfortable. The rooftop pool and bar is a fantastic addition and well run, we enjoyed an afternoon up there when it was too hot to be walking around sight-seeing. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Location is perfect - central to just about everything and with great restaurants within easy walking distance. Would stay again if in Madrid again.
