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.

Hotel good , very clean and location unbeatable!! The male receptionist is super amable , helpful and make check in super easy . U have everything u need for ur stay . The only bad thing about the location is because it is a closed street for cars prepared to walk to the location when u arrive or leave to take ur taxi ( maybe a block no more than that . Otherwise the place is awesome for ur stay in the city of Madrid
Hotel is steps aways from the Oso madrileño !!! ❤️

The location is perfect for visiting the historic center of Madrid. Even though it is along a busy pedestrian street, I heard no noise from the street in my room. The room was perfectly clean and comfortable and the daytime receptionist was friendly and offered good advice on local restaurants.
