We booked this hotel for our recent family trip to Barcelona after reading the many wonderful reviews. I honestly didn't understand how a hotel could be reviewed so highly so we gave it a shot. It was great! First, location is unbeatable. We walked everywhere. Second, hotel itself is fabulous - boutique (about 7 floors), quaint, homey. The rooms are very nice and the bathrooms are clean and modern. Third, the staff is unbelievable. The front desk was always willing to help (thank you, Asier). I've never seen a waiter as happy and competent as Domingo every morning (and his colleague, Ravinder). And when we were stuck after the football game and couldn't get a taxi, we called Stan at the front desk who scrambled to find us a ride home. When he couldn't, he sent Abbas (hotel security) in his personal car to come get us. That is service! Whether you are with a family, a significant other or yourself, I would highly recommend the H10 Madison. No doubt I would stay there again.
