It is very close to Puerta del Sol, so for us it was a perfect location. The reception is staffed 24x7 and every staff member was welcoming and very polite. The room and ensuite bathroom was clean, no issues. Overall, we had a very comfortable 3 night stay and feel it was good value for money. I would be happy to stay there again.

Hotel good , very clean and location unbeatable!! The male receptionist is super amable , helpful and make check in super easy . U have everything u need for ur stay . The only bad thing about the location is because it is a closed street for cars prepared to walk to the location when u arrive or leave to take ur taxi ( maybe a block no more than that . Otherwise the place is awesome for ur stay in the city of Madrid
Hotel is steps aways from the Oso madrileño !!! ❤️

The location is perfect for visiting the historic center of Madrid. Even though it is along a busy pedestrian street, I heard no noise from the street in my room. The room was perfectly clean and comfortable and the daytime receptionist was friendly and offered good advice on local restaurants.

The Staff attention was good. The room was clean and they clean it and change the towels daily. It was noisy, you can hear voices, doors open/close and stepping. Smoke odor in the hall and sometimes come in the room. The location was excellent!
