The rooftop pool and view were great. The location is in a bit of a busier area, you can walk to many great areas of Madrid.

The room had a very bad smell. The air conditioning vent was filthy and because it was very old it couldn't fix the temperature. The bathroom, although it has been updated in part (shower, basin and toilet) the rest of it was in very poor condition.

We liked our stay very much and we are recommending this venue to our friends.
The rooms we stayed in (3) times we visited were all different and very lovely. The room service was quick and efficient. The staff always helpful. Check in was a little chaotic as to be expected when a bus or plane arrive.

Room has no view to the street.
The location is perfect, in the heart on Gran Via, 2 min walk to Plaza de España, 7 min walk to Puerta de Sol. Staff were very polite, pleasant and helpful. Asked for taxi few mornings and they helped me to get one. I stayed in single room, the room was small, but bed was double size and enough space to move around. Very comfortable bed and pillows. Left a note to a room service that need another duvet and in the evening had extra duvet. Drink and snack bar in the room. TV with plenty of channels in various languages. Bathroom spacious and clean. With clean 3 size towels. There were 5 towels fot me alone. Shampoo, shower gel, conditioner, body lotion, soap, comb, shoe polisher provided and refilled every day. Slippers with hotels logo. Kettle in the room with coffee, various teas, sugar and milk provided. Wi-Fi very fast and good quality and log on with surname and room number. Left my suitcase before checked in and after the checked out without a charge. Safe in the room and cleaning service if needed. When going back to Madrid will stay in the same hotel and highly recommend it to friends.

We avoided breakfast which seemed poor value for money. There was a big variation in the room price on different nights, with it virtually doubling on one night.
We stayed a total of four nights over two stays. We found the location and staff excellent and the hotel accommodation very good but a bit characterless. The feature that stands out is the roof top bar and swimming pool, of which we made little use.
