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? Not bad.

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 and friendly staff
Excellent breakfast (wide choice and quality products) and long hours (up to 11am), with great staff.
Excellent location near 3 metro stations (the best way to move in Madrid beside walking)

BAD:
The poor quality of the WiFi connection, very low signal, most of the time none, and getting frequently disconnected. I found out the best place to catch a low signal: the bathroom sitting on the toilet...
2 connected PC's in the lobby are available free but I also experienced with them some glitches too.
Bad front office staff. Never we felt we were welcomed. Not even a "thank you" at check-out. Addressed with the WiFi issue, the FO manager try to behave surprised by my claim, and some others at different shifts admitted they were aware but don't say anything if something was underway to solve that. It appeared to me that no one is handling the case.

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 and very very central. Breakfast was good too BUT staff should smile every now and then.

All in all it was ok but a bit expensive.

I travelled with a friend and our experience of the hotel was better than what the reviews said. There is'nt an elevator at the street level of the hotel so everytime you go in or out, you have to go up or down a flight of stairs to get to an elevator. For young people in shape this should not be a problem. For a 3 star hotel I was pleasantly surprised, the room was small but very clean and comfortable. The location is perfect- we didn't have to use the metro almost at all. Breakfast was good with a variety of foods. The receptionists were not so kind or helpful and most of them did not know english. WIFI is free at the hotel but not always worked. All in all, I would return to this hotel if i were to be in Madrid again.
