Lovely hotel unfortunately we only booked it as it had a roof top pool
On the first day went up to pool and it was empty! Asked receptionist and was told it was having maintenance done so a huge disappointment
The bar prices are double that of all the other bars and restaurants we visited on our three day trip
No view from the room would have liked a street view
Otherwise staff very friendly and bed comfortable

Disappointed
I was given an accessible room which was not what I had booked. I refused this room and was given another. It was an adjoining room and I could hear the people next door and I am sure they could hear me.
I think when you are a solo traveller you are given the worst rooms.
Nice hotel - upscale with great location. Great security, very helpful staff. Breakfast buffet was very lovely as well as rooftop bar and restaurant. Downside was that it was noisy. They had a banquet in the hotel and we could hear percussive music that didn't stop until 12:30 am. Also there was a dangerous doorstop in our bathroom with sharp jagged edges.
We loved this hotel! We were also here during the Madrid blackout and the staff were incredibly patient, accommodating, and helpful. Would highly recommend and would stay here again.
Excellent hotel staff and service. Loved the room and location in the center of the city. Easy walking to Plaza Mayor, Flamenco shows and so much more…we loved this place.
