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.

The location is perfect for visiting the historic center of Madrid. Even though it is along a busy pedestrian street, I heard no noise from the street in my room. The room was perfectly clean and comfortable and the daytime receptionist was friendly and offered good advice on local restaurants.

Room was small but clean - bath was excellent. There is no access to this hotel so you must walk about 5 minutes with your bag to get there - should have been a notice on their site. They put us on the 3rd floor, reception is on second floor, but the lock the door off of the 3rd floor elevator so we had to carry our bags down the stairs when checking out and staff wasn’t very friendly- not sure why?? Location is great, would stay again assuming we could guarantee a 2nd floor room!
