Pros:

El desayuno es de una calidad excepcional.

Cons:

El baño es muy pequeño. La ducha diminuta. Si una persona mide 1,85 mts o mas o es grande no estara cómodo.

Beautiful hotel in a great location, with excellent service and a very welcoming atmosphere. The staff were consistently friendly and helpful, especially Joudy at reception, who was exceptional.

A terrific stay!
Pros:

The hotel is in a beautiful very early 20th-century building with huge windows and lots of ornate decoration - including a wonderful lift. The atmosphere which has been created is tranquil and restorative. The rooms are spacious, elegant and comfortable, with nice bathrooms. Breakfast was delicious. Most importantly, the staff were delightful - thoughtful and attentive but never intrusive. We were greeted very warmly by the charming young men on the door (and later by the night porter); the reception people were very friendly and efficient; those in the lobby bar and serving breakfast were equally so. They all deserve commendation. The hotel is well situated with two useful metro stations very close. We had a terrific stay.

Pros:

Quarto silencioso, com enxoval de muita qualidade, blackout perfeito e muito confortável. O serviço é atencioso. A localização do hotel tb é um ponto forte, Chueca tem vários dos restaurantes e lojas mais bacanas da cidade.

Cons:

O serviço do café da manhã pode melhorar, apesar de vários funcionários, nem todos eram cordiais e havia demora na entrega de um simples café. Os banheiros não dispõem de ducha higiênica e o espaço do box é um tanto apertado, mas nada que comprometa o conforto do quarto de modo geral.

Wonderful stay. Kudos to the staff who are fantastic from the porter to room service.
Pros:

The hotel is absolutely beautiful. Our suite had a large terrace where we spent some very nice evenings.
Also worth a visit is the spa, it has a fantastic water-hot tub area that should not be missed.

Cons:

For the price of accommodation, I would have expected a few more free perks. I was surprised to be charged for ice considering it was 40 degrees outside. In other high-end hotel stays, the guest gets a few treats!
