I stayed in a newly renovated 7th floor room with a private terrace with views of Madrid and an outdoor shower, table with chairs and umbrella/sun shade. The room was great. It had an ironing board with iron, mini-fridge, spa tub, tea kettle, views from the bathroom and bedroom, external shutters for light blocking and as an extra barrier against street noise—however, noise was never a problem. I slept super-well. The 7th floor is the top floor so you also needn’t worry about noise from above. This was my third or four stay at this hotel. In the past, I always asked for an interior room facing away from the street, as I am a light sleeper and noise sensitive, but this room was way better.
I love the location of this hotel. It’s convenient and in the heart of things but on a not-too-busy street. It’s an easy 7-minute walk from Atocha train station, a few minutes walk to the metro, a few minutes walk to the Reina Sofia Art Museum, which always my first stop in Madrid (so I can visit Picasso’s painting, “Guernica”). It’s close to restaurants, ATMs, cafes, the Prado and Retiro Park. A well-stocked Corte Ingles Super Cor mini-mart is just steps down the block, if you desire snacks, a fine wine, or ready made salad.
The staff is kind, friendly and helpful. If English is your only language, don’t worry, they’re perfectly fluent.
I would recommend this hotel.
