It always helps when your room is upgraded when you arrive! Lovely room, very clean and comfortable. The rooftop pool and bar is a fantastic addition and well run, we enjoyed an afternoon up there when it was too hot to be walking around sight-seeing. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Location is perfect - central to just about everything and with great restaurants within easy walking distance. Would stay again if in Madrid again.

Great location and steps from the metro, but you pay for it. Immaculately clean but nothing else about the stay jumped out imo. Pool area was nice but was too cold when I stayed. Can’t fault the hotel for that. Staff at the pool bar/restaurant were rude/dismissive (to me at least)

I stayed at this hotel for two nights and was disappointed with the experience. When I first checked in, I found hair and even a contact lens left in the shower, which showed the bathroom wasn’t properly cleaned. On top of that, the walls are very thin — around 4am I could clearly hear the guest in the next room showering and singing. It was so loud that I couldn’t sleep well. Overall, the cleanliness and soundproofing were far below expectations, and I would not choose to stay here again.
