Hispano Gran Vía

“When you want to be right, slap bang in the middle of things, on a budget.”

Mostly, there are positives. The bed was super comfy and the pillows were just the way I like them. Soft but not to squishy. I slept really well. The room had very high ceilings and A/C, although I didn't need to use it. Location-wise - it can't be beaten. It is right in the heart of Chuec… more

Mostly, there are positives. The bed was super comfy and the pillows were just the way I like them. Soft but not to squishy. I slept really well. The room had very high ceilings and A/C, although I didn't need to use it. Location-wise - it can't be beaten. It is right in the heart of Chueca - for party animals. There are lots of restaurants and bars nearby. When I lived in Madrid, I lived directly across from this place and I felt nostalgic as I could see my old apartment from the bedroom window. The reception staff I met were incredibly helpful and polite. I speak Spanish, but they spoke such good English, that I decided to speak only in English. The morning I was leaving, I asked if I could leave my luggage for a little while and was given two options: keep it there till reception closed (6pm) or bring it to a nearby sister hotel, whose reception was open until 11.30pm (the option I chose). And now for the improvement opportunities. You can hear what is happening in other rooms. Thankfully, I just heard doors closing and taps being turned on and off. The layout of the bathroom was not ideal for me. There was a certain amount of mental planning needed when certain bodily functions were required. You access the building with a code which is provided in advance and then you ring a bell outside the actual hotel/hostel. I did get a little confused with this, but it all worked out in the end. I would definitely stay and again and hope to.

“Good hotel”

Good hotel. Room 208 was lovely although a bit small. Good air conditioner and shower. Cleaned daily and towels changed. Toiletries provided. Convenient as next to Gran Vie. Bit noisy at night but was in the middle of the gay area and restaurants. Highly recommended. Staff really helpful

“Just ok”

Pros Bed very comfy for this price range Fun location Interior room was reasonably quiet Elevator Cons Lacking cleanliness and facilities not maintained so well: - air conditioning unit was excessively loud.

It was just ok. I would stay elsewhere next time. Pros Bed very comfy for this price range Fun location Interior room was reasonably quiet Elevator Cons Lacking cleanliness and facilities not maintained so well: - air conditioning unit was excessively loud. When I told reception, their was response was that it was old so nothing could be down about the sound -could not comfortably take a shower - the plastic hook that holds the shower head needs to be replaced - if kept falling off and was moldy -mold and gunk in shower and bathroom sink soap dispenser was gross
