We were upgraded to a Junior Suite as we were celebrating my husband's 50th. The room was to a very high standard and the beds were huge and comfortable. No complaints whatsoever with the room itself. The rooftop pool was amazing.

눉Roof Top Terrace - daytime music was a poor choice and too loud if you wanted to relax and have a read. Needs something more relaxing, soothing during the day and maybe use different music in the evening.
눇The hotel facilities were top notch including the great roof top terrace bar and pool area. Right in the heart of the city we were able to walk to all the top locations from this hotel.

“Lovely hotel spoilt by its main feature being unavailable on the night we stayed.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • 2 rooms
- • Stayed 1 night
눉Hotel advertised as having roof top pool open until 9pm. We had driven for 6 hours (followed by bus into Madrid from airport) with 3 children, expecting to spend the evening at the pool before going out for dinner. We arrived at the hotel just after 5pm, to be told that the pool would be closing at 6.30pm because of a private function (wedding). The whole reason we chose this hotel was for the pool - and instead of a lovely evening on the roof, we had a very hurried hour. Instead of unwinding and making our way up to spend time at the pool overlooking Madrid (As had been advertised), we had to rush up, have a quick swim and then the facility closed. Very disappointing. If we had received an email informing us about the early closure, we might have decided to cancel, or we would at least have set off much earlier on the journey to Madrid to get time in the pool (the hotel's best selling point). But there was no communication. We were not the only guests who felt this way - we heard at least 2 other families who were unhappy about this when we were checking out. When we queried it, the woman on reception was quite rude, and just kept saying that it says in the small print that they may change the pool opening hours occasionally. I think they should let their guests know beforehand - a wedding is booked weeks/months in advance. Surely they could inform guests who are booked for that night so that they can decide whether to cancel? A real shame, because otherwise it's a great, comfortable hotel in a fantastic location. Early pool closure and rude staff have left a bad taste, however.
눇Excellent location. Clean and comfortable. Amazing roof top pool.
