Great location. I appreciated the front desk's 24 hour service. The room was basic and kept clean. The housekeeping was punctual, and efficient. I would have loved coffee service available in the lobby, but was able to go out to find coffee a couple of blocks away. I would definitely stay there again.

It is very close to Puerta del Sol, so for us it was a perfect location. The reception is staffed 24x7 and every staff member was welcoming and very polite. The room and ensuite bathroom was clean, no issues. Overall, we had a very comfortable 3 night stay and feel it was good value for money. I would be happy to stay there again.

Staff was very helpful and gave us a warming welcome. A/C wasn’t working, it seems that they disable the units when it isn’t summer. Location is absolutely wonderful, it is in the middle of everything, train and metro are at walking distance.
