“A good option for a short stay in Madrid”

Overall, I liked my stay at this hotel. It is located in a lively central area of Madrid close to all major sights; everything is easily walkable, and I actually find the location perfect. The hotel itself is small but nicely designed and modern, and it was spotlessly clean throughout my entire stay. The hotel’s lobby is also tiny – the front desk is literally just a small table with one person working there. A cool part of the lobby’s concept is that there’s a cute little cafe right next to the hotel entrance, where anyone can buy drinks and pastries. In addition, on the first floor there is a separate restaurant area for hotel guests where some free snacks and drinks (like tea and coffee bags) are provided. My check-in was fast and easy. One day before arrival, I requested early check-in around noon, and for just €10 they allowed it. I actually got into my room at 11:30 a.m., which was fantastic, since I didn’t lose a whole day in Madrid. Before arrival, I also requested a room on a higher floor with plenty of natural daylight, and this request was honored as well. All front desk staff were super nice, sweet, friendly, and helpful. I had small chats with them every day, and I really liked everyone there. I stayed in a Standard Double Room (#407) on the 4th floor. The room was very tiny; honestly, it lacked space even for one person! But its design was pretty, so I still felt moderately comfortable. The room was spotlessly clean, and all furniture was in very good condition. Unfortunately, the room was not soundproof, which was my main issue. I could clearly hear noise from the hallway, and almost every morning I woke up to the sound of housekeeping vacuuming. Occasionally, I could also hear street noise if the window was open, but with the window closed it was fine. I really loved the Double Bed – it was extremely comfortable, especially the big, soft pillows. There was no traditional closet, but there was a large open clothing rack with a few hangers (more would be better), plus shelves underneath for clothes and shoes. The TV across from the bed was a good size. There wasn’t a traditional bathroom; instead, it was divided into separate sections: a shower area (large enough for a comfortable shower), a very small toilet section, and an open sink area with a mirror next to the clothing rack. I actually liked this concept, as it saved space. The bathroom amenities were good quality and had a pleasant citrus scent. I also appreciated the modern well-functioning hair dryer, the large soft high-quality towels, and the two complimentary bottles of water in the room. The Wi-Fi worked fast and reliably throughout my stay. One more nice thing worth mentioning is that late check-out is possible for a small extra fee if the hotel is not busy. For example, I was able to stay in my room until 3:00 p.m., and I paid €20 for that, which was very convenient. Probably the biggest downside of my stay was the price. I paid €130 per night, which I find very overpriced for such a basic hotel, especially for the tiny room I stayed in. In my opinion, a reasonable rate would be at least half of what I paid. However, to be fair, this was one of the cheapest options in Madrid’s city center for my dates, so there was likely a major event in town that affected prices and pushed them much higher than usual. In conclusion, I can recommend this hotel for a short stay. The Standard Double Room is suitable for one person, but note that it would likely feel too small and uncomfortable for two people. I would consider staying at this hotel again in the future, especially if the price is lower.

“Great apart from odor”

Couples room was great for solo travel. It would be too tight for a couple. Shower only overhead, hard to dodge for hair. Bathroom might be too small for a large/tall person to close the door. Great mirror and lighting for makeup. Sewage odor when turning on the sink. I assume the water’s not infec… more

Couples room was great for solo travel. It would be too tight for a couple. Shower only overhead, hard to dodge for hair. Bathroom might be too small for a large/tall person to close the door. Great mirror and lighting for makeup. Sewage odor when turning on the sink. I assume the water’s not infected though because i did my skincare there for a week and no probs. The odor kind of gets to you after a bit. If that were fixed I would’ve given 5⭐️
