In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Dining scores high across the board — Guests consistently rate the breakfast as excellent, and with three restaurants on site, there are options for every meal without leaving the hotel.
  • Location that balances quiet and connectivity — Two metro stations within a five-minute walk put lines 1, 9, and 10 within easy reach, while the hotel sits in a calmer neighbourhood further from the centre's bustle.
  • Spacious, comfortable rooms — Guests frequently note large rooms and comfortable beds, and families have appreciated the connected and triple room options.
  • Consistently excellent service — Guests praise the staff for being helpful, bilingual, and efficient, with many mentioning upgrades and smooth check-in experiences.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Rooms can feel dated in places — Some guests have noted that while clean and comfortable, the decor and furnishings (like older TVs) feel old-fashioned, especially for a five-star expectation.
  • Pool may not always be available — One guest was disappointed that the pool was empty during their stay, so check operational timing before relying on it.
  • Breakfast is on the pricey side — While praised as fabulous, the breakfast costs €25 per person, which some guests found expensive.
  • Rooms and cleanliness score lower than other aspects — The hotel's lowest category rating is for rooms and cleanliness, and while still acceptable, it trails the strong performance of location and dining.

“We spent a very pleasant few days here. Good value for money, and the room had been freshly renovated. The staff were attentive. We booked a room with a king bed, and the breakfast served in the attached restaurant was the highlight.”

“After a few room changes due to issues, I was upgraded to what felt like a five-star room. The original one was at best a four. The pool was nice, and there's a metro station about two blocks away.”

“My tenth stay here, and it never fails to impress. At check-in, the manager greeted me and gave me an upgrade. I asked for a late checkout and got 4 pm without any hassle or extra fee. Breakfast is excellent with plenty of options. I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Madrid.”

“The pool was a good size for swimming. Front desk staff were very helpful and efficient. The hotel is spotless, not just the rooms but throughout. Plenty of lifts made moving around quick and easy.”
