A lot of noise upstairs! They gave us a room on the 9th floor below the “Terrace” and the noise did not let us sleep. There was a chandelier above our bed and at one point I thought it was going to fall over us. You should not use this room for ANY guest ☹️
Uncomfortable bed

One member of staff, female, blonde hair with tattoos had an attitude problem. We were spending hundreds of euros on drinks throughout the day and they confiscated our bottled water just so that we would buy theirs for 10 euros per bottle!! They also said that we would receive a free bottle of cava in our room. Called down to reception to ask where it was, she said to come and collect from the lobby, when I asked if someone could bring it to the room she said I would be charged 5 euros for them to do so!! Lovely hotel but money grabbing at every opportunity
Beds really comfy, pool gorgeous (although below freezing) lovely surroundings. Great facilities

Our booking was messed up. I had a reservation for a double room with extra bed for 3 people . When we checked in they argued that the booking was only for 2 people and the extra bed was not ready . They gave us 2 rooms and blamed booking.com for messing things up even if on my confirmation email it clearly stated a room for 3 people. The day after they made us move all our stuff to move in a double room with extra bed and for that we had to cancel all our morning plans . We were in Madrid for 3 nights only and that was upsetting . They were also quite rude about it like this all situation was our fault . Overall the stuff is very unfriendly and have poor manners . Especially at the breakfast area. They told us we had included breakfast , which wasn’t the case . The main waiter was chasing us for the payment even before we started eating like they were scared we were gonna run away . Food in the minibar was out of date . Staff at the entrance would never even say hello or good morning . I wouldn’t Stay here again , very unpleasant experience
The location and the rooftop area was great

Our first impression of the customer service on the Skydeck was not great. Took a while to be served and acknowledged and it was not busy and had to ask twice to get a drink. We had been in hotel less than 30 minutes. But improved from there on.
Large room, well appointed, great location

“Very nice relaxing place”
- • Business trip

I liked everything. ONe thing I would say, as someone who travels alone on work, sometimes it would be nice to go to a hotel where there is some facility (e.g. a notice board with messages or something like that) where guests could possible meet other guests who are travelling alone. It can be nice meeting someone just to share a meal or have a chat. (I'm not talking about some kind of dating service!! Just a way to socially connect with other guests so that your only companion is not your book or phone)
Location is great, but the swimming pool and terrace is what makes the difference. It's an escape from the bustle of the city, yet all that is just a minute away. Would certainly recommend it.
