Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The only good thing is the location.
It’s a tired hotel that needs a total upgrade to a minimum 3 star standard (it’s says it’s already 3 stars!!)
There are allot of prostitutes working at the door of the hotel, as well as the homeless. The air conditioning in the room is not very good a Madrid is a very hot 39c.
The housekeeping is very noisy at 7am with all the banging, and talking and laughing. Most people on our floor had the do not disturb sign on the doors.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The good:
-Steps from Gran Via metro, lots of shops and restaurants.
-Incredibly friendly staff.
-Amazing shower pressure.
The bad:
-Hotel is in the middle of a tourist area so there are constantly thongs of people everywhere.
-You can hear everything outside the room, either in the hall or outside on the street.
-Rooms don't have coffee machines or kettles (but you can ask for a kettle).
Excelente ubicación . Limpio, cómodo las habitaciones amplias . La encargada Mónica sumamente amable . A 40 mts a la derecha está la Gran vía y a 40 mts izquierda puerta del sol. Sin duda volvería
.
Todo el personal con quien tuve la oportunidad de interactuar fué muy atento y profesional. La ubicación en el centro de todo lo hace ideal para acceder a todos los puntos de interés. El precio también bastante bueno.
Un aspecto negativo es en el baño que siguen una tendencia generalizada de colocar una mampara en la bañera que solo cubre la mitad y al bañarse se salpica todo el baño, haciendo un desastre y es peligroso también.
Best walkable location in the Sol. A little noisy at night, but that made it more exciting. Very safe location located 1 min from police station. We only used a taxi one time over a four days and three nights.
The mattress is the best if you want to rest! It is in the busiest zone in Madrid but the room was really quiet.
You are 5 min from Sol and Gran Via and 30 min by foot everywhere.
The property was good just in terms of location because it was in the downtown and close to the metro stations, but it was very noisy and crowded even at midnight. In terms of room conditions, the one I had was on the last floor and it had just a small window with a sharp and angular roof making it very unpleasant. Also, it was very dark and I had just two lamps in my room which was not enough after 8 pm.
