It cannot be denied that the location is about the best in Madrid; Close to Plaza Mayor, The Real Plaza, The Opera house if you`re looking to treat yourself, and walks in and around Madrid, and if you`re looking for a no frills hotel then this could be the place for you.
If you like just a bit of luxury keep looking unless you can insist upon room 407 or 107. 407 is probably the best room in the hotel and is offered to you as a placator if you have had the misfortune to be given room 401 for a night. We did and didn`t even unpack our
clothes as we were leaving if they couldn`t give us anything better.
The breakfast room is a tiny room in the basement, it serves it`s purpose but if you fancy a dining room, then hereagain, this place is not for you.
The young ladies at the reception desk really do try to accommodate you and they cannot be faulted - they are doing the best they can with the limited resources in the hotel.
I booked this hotel after looking for several hours on the internet, and reading so many reviews that it was so late and I just thought "Oh just get it done" - I wish I had stayed up a bit longer and found somewhere a bit smarter but eventually we made the most of it.
Bear this in mind, along with all the other comments, - there were a lot more that we had looked at and this was quite expensive by comparison to some - i.e. we paid £520 Euros for 4 nights, with nothing from the mini bar because there wasn`t one in the first room that we had, and neither was there one single drawer in any of the 3 rooms that we were eventually given on various nights. Room 107 is a family room on the front with a king sized bed and bunk beds folded back into the wall. Room 407 is a king sized bed with a tiny balcony on the front. Insist on it or nothing !
It has the only guest lounge in the world where there are three bicycles standing there, for what, I asked myself, and the business centre is just off that room, with one easy chair and two computers.
