I chose the Zenit Abeba as both my preferred hotels in the area were unavailable for my travel dates. The location was fantastic and the welcome was warm. My flight from the UK had been delayed and I arrived after 2am, necessitating a taxi from the airport, rather than the Metro. The taxi journey took about 15 minutes and cost 30 euros with supplements.

Zenit Abeba is a very trendy hotel, with the hallways and rooms largely black and grey. This would not be to everyone's taste. It does make everything a bit dark and cold.

Pros: comfortable bed with quality linens; windows that open; air conditioning; a real hair dryer in the bathroom, quality bath towels, large flat screen TV, excellent buffet breakfast, friendly service, general cleanliness and location

Cons: very low level lighting and when combined with the black and grey colour scheme it is a bit dark, only one mirror in the room and that is in the bathroom, poor lighting in the bathroom makes it hard for ladies & make up, limited storage space in both the room and bathroom -- no drawers at all for clothing and only 4 hangers. Little soundproofing (typical of Madrid hotels, not unique to this one.)

Overall, the pros outweigh the minor cons and I would both recommend this hotel and return again myself. Would love to use the pool in the summer!

I expected a lot more from this 4 star hotel! When I arrived, it took about 5 minutes for someone to show up in the front desk! The bedroom is very comfortable, clean and tidy.
Once, when we returned at night, we stopped at the restaurant/bar and wanted a cup of tea. Again, nobody showed up to serve us, or even to tell that it was closed, or something like that.
It is a pity that the hotel, which is new, modern and comfortable, offers bad quality services.

My only complain is that the room was small and there was no fan in the bathroom so every time we had a bath we had to open the window otherwise we were feeling the bedroom a little wet.The location was good and the hotel was next to the metro station and near to restaurants and shops. Breakfast was ok and stauff was ok .But for me this is a 3 star hotel and not a 4.

I stayed at this hotel while attending a trade show and conducting other business in Madrid. My local contacts suggested staying here as it would be good value for the money and very very close to the Metro.

The hotel is more like a 3.5 star. Other than a very good buffet breakfast, it didn't really have other dining options. I didn't really care about this because I was in Madrid and there was no way I was going to hang out in my hotel for the stay.

I would say that the rooms were very spacious by European standards, and comparable to typical North American hotel rooms.

P.S. Be very cautious of the taxi drivers in Madrid. They were out to screw me the whole trip! Other than that, Madrid was incredible and one of my favourite cities in the World!
