    Room was quite small, hotel could use a bit of refurbishment.

    Location was optimal, close to the city center, key landmarks and tube. Breakfast starts at 9.30 on weekends, not ideal if in Madrid for work, but staff was very accommodating and served it at 7.30 anyway

    A very bad smell came from somewhere. It smelt like it was from the septic tank- stinky and strong.

    the design is quite bizarre. The lights for instance are either all on or not on. There aren't any good charging points too.

    comfy and quiet and clean

    the shower door leaked but we reported this and they said it would be taken care of promptly before the next guest.

    i really liked having a coffeemaker and having a separate sitting area. very quiet street near the Gran Via. Easy access to tours to surrounding cities which depart from San Bernardo 7

    Booking through a third party did not give us the two double beds that we needed but the manager was accommodating with a larger room

    The central Madrid location was perfect

    The lighting in the room was a little weird - especially the lighting above the sink. Overhead lighting when getting ready is never one you want 😂 but genuinely that was the only thing!

    Location was great! 10 minute walk to the Main Street Gran Via. Room was nice and clean - quirky layout!

    You still had to go through a few stairs to get to the elevator, and it was pretty old. The bathroom also smelled a little bit musty.

    The location was very good, and the staff were kind.

    The "hot" water was barely warm at best and that goes for the shower and jacuzzi so we couldn't really enjoy either sadly

    Great location, comfortable bed, had a jacuzzi in our Jr suite, decor was nice on 1st appearances. Big tv.

    Nothing really , but the street can be very noisy.

    The hotel was in a perfect location, on a great street in the bohemian Malasana neighbourhood, with an abundance of quirky bars on your doorstep. The room was nicely laid out , and quite spacious; double superior.

    Room was a bit small, no closet space for the clothes or to store the bags . Wet bathroom is not planned well as it was flooding the floor after every shower and water was overflowing into the room.

    Great location , convenient ,good value and helpful staff who were accommodating to our requests.

    No hand shower in the bathroom so only water from the top shower (rainfall); shower cubicle was a bit cramped. There was a coffee maker but the quality wasn’t good- lots of sediments so we didn’t bother. The temperature setting of the air con didn’t seem to be working.

    Cute little hotel. Not too far from shopping places. Lots of restaurants close by. Room was good-sized. Found the layout a bit weird. Bathroom first then the bedroom. Had water for drinking, which was appreciated. Had a lift although very old style (have to push the door to open) and it initially didn’t work from the ground floor. Good thing somebody came down so we could use it to go up. Appreciated storage for our Luggages. Nice classy lobby.
