Super hôtel

Excellente situation géographique en plein centre de Madrid qui permet de visiter la ville à pied.
Tout le personnel de l'hôtel est sympathique et très professionnel.
Le ménage dans notre chambre a été fait tous les jours. La propreté de l'hôtel en général est irréprochable.

A short visit to Madrid.
Pros:

The location was great. The rooftop terrace provided a great view of the city.

Cons:

The elevators were very slow. The problem is there are the main elevators and a secondary parking elevator. Guests call both sets which makes the elevator slow.

I would not stay there again or recommend it.
Pros:

The location is central. The staff was nice.

Cons:

Thin walls thus very noisy. I could hear the neighbor’s conversation. I tried calling front desk to ask for an iron, but did not know which number to dial. I had to walk down to ask for iron and they disclosed the number. There were no clear instruction at check in and none in the room either. I did not like the breakfast and thought $24 for what was offered is quite high. A soap dish would have been nice as to not get soap on the counter.
