I was very happy with how clean the room was and once you have got your bearings I like the location close to gran via and massalana. It would be nice to have tea making facilities in the room.

My room was tiny and quite old fashioned compared to some other rooms. As a solo female traveller I did not feel safe especially at night. The road was dark and in a red light area. However on arrival the first receptionist was very friendly and helpful.

We always stay here when we are in Madrid. The location is great. At night it does get a bit sketchy around there, but nothing to be concerned about.

OK spot for a night or two
Great location and simple room. Has the bare necessities, not the most comfortable (especially the beds/pillows) but fine for a couple nights. Walls are paper thin

Bom apartamento
O pessoal do hotel possui boa educação e são atenciosos. O quarto possui um ar condicionado bem forte e um chuveiro amplo. Contudo, no piso, há diversos azulejos que estavam soltos, acredito que há uma necessidade de renovação do revestimento do chão do apartamento em que ficamos.
