Staff was very helpful and gave us a warming welcome. A/C wasnā€™t working, it seems that they disable the units when it isnā€™t summer. Location is absolutely wonderful, it is in the middle of everything, train and metro are at walking distance.

Otherwise the place is awesome for ur stay in the city of Madrid

The Staff attention was good. The room was clean and they clean it and change the towels daily. It was noisy, you can hear voices, doors open/close and stepping. Smoke odor in the hall and sometimes come in the room. The location was excellent!
