Myself and a team of ageing footballers (12 of us in total) stayed here in four triple rooms for 4 nights between 27th and 1st May. The write-ups were not ideal and on arrival expectations remain low as you descend to the basement reception and lounge area....but from there on I only have praise for this hotel and I would...

We were a group of 5, my husband and I, my 2 sisters and my father. My dad booked 2 rooms, 1 twin sharing room and 1 triple sharing room. The man at the front desk was nice enough to give us a 3rd room for free so my dad got his own room instead of having to share one... More

Easy walking to most of Madrid's attractions. The smallest lift I have ever seen in a hotel does not stop at street level. So suitcases have to be carted up and down stairs. Room was clean bed ok. Shower in bathtub. Staff friendly and helpful. Had some medicine that needed to be kept cool It was looked after by the... More

If you are a perfectionist, then it is not the best place to be. It is very good located on the main street so if you want real peace then choose another place to lodge. Breakfast was just not what I expected. Fruits from the tin can was not the best and the bread were too old and tables not... More

Hidden hotel, good location for discovering Madrid. The only thing you see is a lobby and two small elevators. One fot 4 and one for 3 persons. How many rooms are there? Lots. So if it is fully booked, the queues will be immense. Rooms at the back view on old walls. Needs a bit of paint and restauration. Breakfast?... More

GOOD: Clean hotel. Looks like well protected against fire. Excellent clean spacious room, good bedding, good fittings, safebox (1 EUR per usage), excellent sound-proof windows from street noise (very New York City). Good LCD TV except that the provided menu in the room doesn't correspond at all to the reality (less channels as advertised). Smoking room upon request. Excellent housekeeping... More

The hotel is very central and clean but rooms need some reburshment. Bathroom door does not close. Bathroom tiles have black mould surrounding them. Carpets in the room are needed when the weather gets colder. Air-conditioning in our room was reported and it was not fixed by he time we left 2 days later. but above all it was clean... More
