Great location. Nice comfy room and beds. Very good breakfast.

Robert, United States of America

Problem with the air conditioning. It was totally off because the temperature was little cold, but they don’t think when you are in the building and specific inside the room, it is very hot and unconfatable, very hot, sticky, which take me to the front desk to complaint about it.

Nothing not to like.
We stayed on a room only basis. There are plenty of eating places and bars within very close range to the hotel. Good location, right next to a metro station and bus stop for the tour bus. Loved the roof terrace, although a bit pricey. Unfortunately the rooftop pool hadn't opened yet which was a shame as the weather was very nice in April.

spacious room is extraordinarily clean and very pleasant to stay in. The room turned to Grand Vía Street and was wonderful. Breakfast is nice and satisfying. Without doubt one of the best hotels we have been in recent years in Europe. It is highly recommended!!!

We booked a Standard Room and, at the reception, they said they would do a free upgrade for the room. It wasn´t my first time receiving such upgrade and I enjoyed the good news. Unfortunately, when we received the receipt at the end of our stay, we discovered that they charged us EUR 35 per night for this upgrade. And this was not the end: even if we didn´t consume anything from the minibar, there were EUR 10 charged on the receipt. So I strongly advise you to pay at the beginning of your stay so that you don´t encounter such unpleasant surprises. Conclusion: the hotel is great, I strongly recommend it, but there are members of the staff that don´t have anything in common with a 4* hotel.
Breakfast was great and the staff serving at the breakfast restaurant. The location is very central, close to all main attractions, restaurants and shopping area. It was very clean and the view amazing. Also, the roof terrace is one of the best in Madrid.
