Tutto perfetto
Pros:

La struttura é dotata di tantissimi servizi utili per rendere confortevole il soggiorno, ascensore, aria condizionata, stanze molto spaziose, wifi, pulizia e possibilità di lasciare i bagagli al check out, posizione super centrale che da la possibilità di visitare tutto a piedi

Cons:

Se proprio devo trovare un difetto direi la poca illuminazione all'interno della stanza

Sem dúvida, a localização foi o grande diferencial, permitindo explorar a cidade com conforto e praticidade, sempre a pé
Pros:

A localização do hotel é perfeita. Fizemos praticamente todos os passeios e visitamos os principais pontos turísticos caminhando, sem necessidade de transporte. Isso tornou nossa estadia muito mais confortável e agradável.

Cons:

O único ponto que poderia ser melhorado é o box do chuveiro, pois a água acabava vazando para o restante do banheiro durante o banho. Além disso, achamos os travesseiros um pouco desconfortáveis para o nosso gosto.

Básico, útil para pocos días. Prefiero movilizarme desde Salamanca al centro, en el caso de pasar varios días en Madrid.
Pros:

La cama era cómoda y limpia

Cons:

La recepción básica, había que llamar a la recepción para cambiar la T* del aire acondicionado y el teléfono no funcionaba, significaba bajar cada vez a la recepción. Lugar muy ruidoso, como todo ese sector. Calles repletas de gente y comercio.

Convenient hotel with great customer service!
Pros:

Hotel Ateneo is in an incredibly convenient location—steps from restaurants, shopping, and major attractions. My room comfortable and well appointed. But, the best part was the hotel front desk staff. They were so accommodating. I forgot something and they helped make sure it was packaged and ready for UPS to pick it up right away. Their customer service is outstanding! I would stay there again.

Cons:

Be sure you ask the front desk to turn the AC is on when you’re coming back into the hotel.

Perfect no frills base for exploring central Madrid
Pros:

Great location, comfy rooms, lovely breakfast friendly staff. Decent air con

Cons:

Street outside was noisy every night until 6am. Ask for a rear facing property. Need plugs on both sides of the bed not just one. A mirror near the dressing table would be very useful. Door to the room could do with better sound proofing

Older styled building, quaint and romantic, barely a block from the Puerta de Sol & subway station.
Pros:

I like that the kind lady on the desk switched us to a room that reflected the photos displayed when we booked, after I showed her the photos on the app. They plainly displayed a floor to ceiling french style window/door to a micro balcony. Our new room offered a picturesque view of the street. Highly satisfactory. My heartfelt thanks to that woman.
No problems with after hours street noise; noticed a police station/presence a block away and highly restricted vehicle traffic in the immediate neighborhood.
Breakfast was quite good, with plenty to choose, and kept well stocked. Kudos to the pleasant staff.
Central location where we chose to walk to all the interesting sites and tours. Nearby subway is one stop from the rail station, where we eventually departed for Seville.
All of the front desk staff were friendly and helpful, and spoke fine English. The pointed out a nearby convenience store, Carrefour, to explore and pick up various items.

Cons:

They put is in an "attic" room that did not resemble the app display photos when we booked. The bed was positioned under a gable, headboard to the outside wall, the window inaccessible without kneeling on the bed to open or close it. It seemed possible to hit your head on the roof sloped ceiling when accessing the bed. We spent the first night there, quite a lot of street party noise, probable because it was Saturday night and not the room's fault, as the window was modern, heavy and sealed well. Just lively locals having a good time in a party city, at a next door tapas bar with sidewalk tables.

Missnöjd delux
Pros:

Det bästa var läget. Mitt i centrum. Så mycket centralt med många butiker och restauranger.

Cons:

Balkongen öppnades ute i centrum där folk 24/7 passerar.
Det gör att rummen är mycket lyhörda. Man hör alla bilar och människor som passerar.
En disco någon meter bort där berusade unga skriker runt. Det går inte att sova på nätterna.
Minimal med faciliteter på rummen. Ingen vattenkokare, inga glas för att dricka vatten eller kaffe/te vilket det är standard på alla hotell även de billigaste.
Vi var 3 men det fanns bara 2 täcken och filtar. Dessa luktade mycket gammal svett från tidigare gäster. Vi klagade på det men finns bara 2 lakan och fortfarande inte ens 3.

Frukosten var helt ok. Mycket få att välja mellan men det dög för att bli mätt.
Fick bara 3 små flaskor vatten första dagen sedan skulle köpa själva. Vi reser mycket, minst 4 ggr om året och har aldrig varit med om detta. Betalade ca 4000kr/ pers för 3 nätter men gick verkligen ingenting för pengarna. Personalen så få ordiga så man kände som som en börda. Kommer inte rekommendera hotellet till andra.
