My husband and I stayed at this hotel in November 2010. We stayed there for one night because it was close to the airport and offered free shuttle service. The price was also good for a suite. There is free breakfast included. There is lots of food in the buffet, but there are lots of people also since it is a big hotel so you have to be mindful of them. The food was fine, no complaints. Different choices so easy to find something to eat.
There is a kitchen, a living room, a bathroom, and a bedroom in the room. It's pretty nice when you look at it and everything is clean. The furnishings are nice in the kitchen and living room. However, the bed is not very comfortable. It was a bit small for my husband and myself. The mattress was also very cheap quality and uncomfortable. I actually had a nightmare the one night we were there, and although it is not the hotel's fault, since I remember that night I can't rate the sleep quality as very good.
It's location is in a neighborhood. You can walk to a bus stop down the road to take the train into Madrid. But I would only recommend you do this if you have a lot of time. We arrived in the afternoon and thought we'd spend half a day there in middle of the city, but the bus took awhile and then so did the train when we got to it. It took us almost an hour to get into center city. We spent a few hours there, but found it hard to find places to eat near the big library, and ended up finally walking all the way to Plaza Mayor. After the anti-climactic visit, we returned to the hotel very late. I don't recommend walking around in the neighborhood at night. Although it is not in a bad area, it just didn't feel comfortable at night. Though the hotel area is completely safe inside.
There is a mall nearby that you can walk to - we did that in the morning and I enjoyed looking at the shops and grabbing a quick bite there before we left Madrid.
Overall, it was a suitable place to stay for one night. If I were to stay longer than one night in Madrid though, I would probably choose another location closer to some of the sights.
We did not have any trouble with the service - the front desk even held our bags for us since we had to wait awhile after check-out to leave for our flight.
