Great place to stay . Super clean with the friendliest staff . I have stayed here several times and my experience has always been the best . If I had a suggestion would be for them to invest in some King Size beds . I always ask for a double bed and everytime I'm given two twin size beds next to each other , which it would be fine if the beds did not keep on pulling appart .

Great location and even better breakfast

The location of this hotel is perfect. Right in the middle of everything you would want in Madrid. We found the rooms to be updated and very clean. The best part was the breakfast buffet in the morning. Wow. It was incredible and so nice to fill up before our flight home.
