High value perfect location with 10 star staff and lavish warm breakfast
Pros:

Hotel Miau Madrid's location is perfect. It is a 15 minute walk from virtually every museum, arts facility, jazz room, fine dining, mercado, tapas crawl, etc. that you would want to visit in heart of the city.
The staff is amazing. This is a tiny, boutique hotel with barely a lobby. I was not 100% sure it was staffed 24/7. Not only is it staffed, but its English speaking front desk crew is responsive in person and to emails.
Staff helped me plan for the trip and helped hugely during -- even got me a doctor in less than an hour when I couldn't shake a cold.
The soundproofing for busy/loud Plaza Santa Ana is amazing. I could hear faint sounds, but the double doors provided quiet nights in a roof with a small balcony and historic views.
The breakfast is beyond lavish. Most free breakfasts are crappy little cold food huts. The buffet has variety, hot foods, gourmet coffee and a super hardworking staff person.
My bed was super firm and comfy.
The bathroom is large and the shower tube had lots of hot water.
The room is small but quite efficient -- with a wall mounted fridge capable of cooling a soda, beer and few bottles of water.
The price point for a perfect location in May was under 200 USD fully loaded -- delicious breakfast and taxes included.
Miau -- yes it has a cat theme in its logo, etc. -- is very close to Sol, the biggest transit station in Madrid. Anton Martin and others are close by too.
Puerta del Sol, Plaza Mayor, Opera, Prado, El Rastro, Gran Via and dozens of top areas are no more than 15 minutes walking distance.
There must be 1,000 historic buildings, boasting food, drink, dessert -- very nearby.
I only used rideshare once -- on a rainy day when I was visiting an historic cemetery outside the old city.
The well-trained and warm staff gave suggestions for a pair of authentic tapas bars that were within 5 minutes
walking distance.
Staff also respected my request for limited housekeeping.

Cons:

The reviews mention hallway noise and I must say they are correct.
It is odd that the double doors tamp down raucous sound from Plaza Santa Ana, but the interior modern renovation lets noise in.
Each night, I heard fellow guests talking in the hallway (the rooms are small, so groups in 2 or 3 rooms seemed to hover in the hallway at all hours. They were not drinking or making trouble -- just talking loud enough to disturb my sleep.

Breakfast starts at 8 a.m. It is lavish, so it is hard to complain. Plus I understand that Spaniards eat small breakfasts much later than Americans.
But maybe opening at 7 a.m. on weekdays and 7:30 a.m. on weekends would be a compromise. I'm an early riser. I had to kill lots of time before the breakfast room (2 doors down from hotel) opened. Again, my words are more advice than complaint.

The fridge is sleek looking and saves space with the wall mount. The only thing is it is cool, not really cold. I could not find a knob to adjust it to a colder setting. While this was fine for sodas and bottled water, some milk I had for medication was not cold enough. I worried a bit that it would spoil within a couple days, vs the 10 day expiry on the label. Once again, this is a very small deficiency at a very excellent boutique hotel.

Top, personnel top, localisation top, propreté top !
Pros:

Tout !
Le personnel est génial, très agréable et à l’écoute
Le lieu est très bien situé tout se fait à pieds (ou en vélo !) l’hôtel est à quelques minutes à pieds du métro et du centre ville.
Le petit déjeuner est complet, les chambres propres et encore une fois le personnel est au top !
De plus nous sommes arrivés un petit peu avant l’heure d’arrivée prévue, l’hôtel a accepté de garder nos valises pour que l’on puisse visiter tranquillement et idem pour le retour nous avons passé un agréable séjour merci beaucoup

Small shower, and hard pillows.

Pros:

Die Lage, das Frühstück war gut und ausreichend

Cons:

Der Geruch "Schimmel" im Zimmer war extrem sofort auffällig. Es befand sich am Fensterberreich auffällig erkennbar Schimmel an der Wand ebenso im Badbereich. Das Fenster war uralt somit war auch bei niedriger Zimmertemperatur der Aufenthalt im Zimmer sehr unangenehm kalt. Die Klimaanlage ließ sich nicht auf Heizung umstellen. Die Rezeptionistin meinte mit einem lachenden Gesicht, das wäre halt so und sie könnte uns eine Decke zusätzlich geben.
