Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was simply fantastic! The rooms were incredibly spacious with a large terrace, and the chic decor gave off a luxurious vibe. The service was top-notch, super personalized, and the staff even went the extra mile with shoe shining services and thoughtful touches like a mat and slippers. The location was perfect, right at the center of everything you need in Madrid. The dining experience was delightful, especially enjoying breakfast on the terrace overlooking the streets. However, I did find the beef dishes a bit lacking. Overall, a wonderful experience!
I had an amazing stay at the hotel; the rooms were comfortable, equipped with great amenities, and I particularly loved the balcony overlooking the Metropolis building. The service provided by the staff was professional and super helpful. The location was outstanding, offering a perfect blend of privacy while being right in the heart of Madrid. The dining experience in the hotel's restaurant was very good, with a variety of pastry, cold meats, cereal, and fruit. Overall, a fantastic choice for my stay.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were fantastic but extra small and very dark, which made them less comfortable. The service was very friendly and extremely helpful, with great advice on local attractions. The location was super convenient right at the beginning of the Gran Via, but the dining options were very poor. The facilities were up to standard, offering decent amenities.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, with clean and spacious rooms, though a bit odd-shaped, and accommodating young receptionists. The service was gracious and extremely helpful, offering various amenities. The location was perfect for exploring Madrid, quiet yet central. The dining experience was good overall, with a minor disturbance from noise. Overall, a comfortable and convenient choice for travelers.
I was thrilled with the stunning views from my room's terrace overlooking the city through French doors. The room was chic, spacious, and well-equipped with a lovely balcony offering a picturesque view of the Metropolis building. The bed was enormous, and the modern bathroom with a superb shower was a highlight. However, the price was a bit steep.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel with some minor drawbacks. The room, although lovely, felt a bit small especially with the dark decor. However, the quietness and the view made up for it. The service was top-notch, very accommodative and friendly. The location was excellent for exploring Madrid on foot, though there were some minor issues with aesthetics. Dining was enjoyable, but not exceptional. Overall, a comfortable and pleasant experience.
