Breakfast is often praised for variety and quality, but there are isolated but significant complaints (cold buffet items, lack of adequate vegan options) that reduce this score.

Great location, excellent vibe and yummy breakfast.
Pros:

The hotel has a great location. We walked everywhere (Puerta del Sol, Palacio Real, Gran Via, Rastro, Prado, to name a few) and alto took the nearby metro station (Opera) to get to the Riyad Metropolitano for a concert. The vibe at night in the streets around the hotel is wonderful. Don’t worry, you hardly hear anything from the room. The pièce de résistance: the breakfast! It was amazing! Looking forward to stay here again on our next visit to Madrid.

Cons:

The wifi was spotty a few times but nothing major.
