A very nice small hotel with clean and large rooms. The staff was really helpful and kind. There was also a basic but good breakfast. The metro station was very close, at a five minute walking distance. I will definitely go back there in case I visit Madrid again.
PROS
Boutique-hotel like designed rooms, great choice of colors and decoration.
Great location in the heart of Madrid, considering this the rooms are surprisingly spacious. The same hotel will cost you double the price in Paris, Amsterdam or Barcelona.
Very clean, confortable beds.
CONS
No minibar or nonstop nearby shop.
The staff can only be reached by phone after 20:00.
The WiFi quality, as everywhere in Spain, is frustrating.
Check-In/Check-Out:
No prolems, despite of unsufficient English knowledge of receptionist and breakfast was only offered upon request. But too late for me (8.30) as I Ieft at 6.30 the next day.
Positive: Check out was possible without receptionist, as nobody is on site from 10.00pm to 8.00am. The Credit Card has simply been debited afterwards.
Cleanliness:
Bedroom, bath, bedclothes, towels were clean.
Rooms:
Spacious and quiet (Room 203 yard side), no minibar, two seperate boxspring beds; bathroom equipped with bath (till the water for shower gets warm in the early morning it took 5mins). TIP: First turn on the tap into hot water position, wait 5mins, then undress to have a shower)
Both bedside lamps were loose at the wall.
W-LAN was not working, (The already weak Connection was aborted every 15 seconds, resulted in an 1h attempt to send an important E-Mail with attachments). Most annoying during my stay.
Location: Central, 10mins walk to "Plaza de Espana" and Metro station, 40mins to airport, easy accessible with one change.
For my next trip to Madrid I have booked a four star hotel incl. breakfast for the same price...lesson learned.
One of my friends found this hotel, and it's a perfect place to hang your hat while exploring Madrid. It's no frills, but very clean and comfortable and you certainly can't beat the price.
I had a single room with a lovely little balcony which was nice. The Metro stop is about 3 blocks away, and there's a small grocery around the corner, I'd reccomend picking up a few bottles of water to keep in the room. Otherwise, get out and explore!
A great little find. Extremely cheap but with great clean rooms and walking distance to all of the gay bars. The staff was nice and helpful with maps and other info readily at hand. If you are traveling as a couple make sure to ask for 'matrimonial' bed when booking otherwise you will get two twins pushed together.
