Amelia, United States of America

Great location - walking distance to most attractions. Rooftop pool - very nice and a must have in Madrid during the summer. Rooftop Bar - Nice selection of drinks and they serve a nice lunch but it is quite pricey.

Deniro, Ireland

The location, staff, hotel - everything was perfect!!!

Yadira, United States of America

The pool on the roof & bar are excellent, well worth paying for, the pool & bar staff were really friendly and the service was excellent. I would stay there again even though it was pricey, but access to the pool & views from the roof made it worth it.

Disappointing! Would definitly not recommend - they are hotels with better value for money with swimming pool! Staff not friendly and not even polite Equipment really old (old dryer attached to the wall, really old tv, nothing to put on music, no usb charger). Same goes for decoration Room with almost no natural light Cleaning staff parked in front of the room and speaking loudly in the morning Too much outside person accepted for the swimming pool and no room left for people staying at the hotel - no differentiation even though payed the night... And to finish the bill was not correct (trying to overcharge us) - even showing booking confirmation they did not believe us and we had to insist and argue for quite a while putting us late for our flight

Water extremely expensive in comparison to an otherwise very reasonably priced bar and menu. Key cards stopped working on more than one occasion.
Pool and bar facilities were amazing, very nice and well maintained. Room small but very nice with everything you need. Had to request an iron.

Another great stay. Really appreciated them allowing us early check in due to our flight arrival time. Comfortable hotel, good bed. Would prefer not to have to wear a wrist band at the pool but only a minor gripe. Great stay overall.
