Ellos hacen que el lugar se sienta seguro para los huéspedes, por el control de entrada de personas ajenas al hotel. La habitación siempre en orden y limpia.

A hotel out of the the ordinary

Well, I chose this hotel because of the nice reviews but honestly I didn't think it would be that good. But it was! Beyond expectations 💖 Friendly welcomed by the hotel doormen and the receptionist. The room was very clean and quiet, with comfortable bed and pillows. Large wardrobe with lots of hangers. We loved the bathroom, with both bathtub and shower and two sinks. Really appreciated our own terrace. The breakfast buffet was gigantic and delicious. The 360° roof bar was nice, crowded though. It was a pity that the pool wasn't open for the season yet but you can't have it all - maybe next time 😊

Amazing high end hotel in central location.

This hotel is very centrally located in Madrid within walking distance to all the tourist locations. We stayed in a Junior Suite with amazing views from our balcony on the 10th floor. The room was amazing, large, comfortable with all the luxuries you'd expect. The staff were all very friendly and attentive. Breakfast was great with a huge choice and even mimosa's, lovely touch. The rooftop bar is a must visit with great food, breathtaking views across the city and a glass walkways for those brave enough.

Worth coming back to.

We enjoyed the overall experience and had a great view from the room. The only minor draw back was that our room was located below the Club 360, and we heard some excessive noise (furniture dragging?) presumably when staff were opening or closing up. No cover for the club was nice but a VIP area would have been better, given the room cost. Staff was over-all very helpful, and it was nice to store our luggage before check-in, leaving us free to bounce around the city a little with the location perfect for easy sightseeing. Honorable mention to the breakfast buffet, we loved it!
