Location
Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel has beautiful rooms, great breakfast buffet for families, and attentive service. However, the location was temporarily closed for a few hours. A quiet spot in the city center with fantastic views and access to all areas of Madrid.
The hotel truly felt like a serene oasis in the heart of the bustling city. The rooms were incredibly spacious and squeaky clean, resembling the luxury of a pricier option like Melia but with the added benefit of access to the Club room for complimentary food and drinks from 7 am to 11 pm. The service was top-notch, with an incredibly attentive and knowledgeable staff that made my stay truly exceptional. The location was perfect, offering a quiet escape while being within easy reach of major tourist attractions. However, the dining experience, though decent, didn't quite meet the lofty 5-star standards set by the hotel's other services.
My stay at the hotel was superb! The spacious rooms had all the amenities and were very comfortable, but I wish they had better views than just a tiny backyard. The staff was incredibly friendly and competent, going above and beyond to assist me. The location was excellent for sightseeing and accessing key attractions, although it might get busy at times. The dining experience at the Coroa restaurant was top-notch with a wide selection of fresh and tasty dishes. The facilities were well-maintained, making my stay even more enjoyable.
The hotel offers a beautifully designed room exactly like the pictures shown online, suitable for two people. The bathroom layout was interesting, featuring a tub and a skinny area. The service was exceptional, with extremely polite and helpful staff who went beyond to assist with transportation, directions, and even dinner plans. The location is superb, close to many attractions yet situated on a quiet street. The dining experience was very delicious with a variety of options, but compared to other 5-star hotels, it fell below standard expectations.
My stay at the hotel was truly delightful. The rooms were clean, spacious, and just what I needed for a comfortable stay. The service was exceptional, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed. The location couldn't have been better, being conveniently close to the palace and other attractions. The dining experience had its ups and downs, but overall, it was a great stay with fantastic amenities.
The hotel offers a mix of comfort and inconvenience. The rooms, though cozy, have some limitations, while the service stands out with thoughtful gestures. The location is ideal, close to attractions but with small drawbacks. The dining experience shines bright with exceptional quality.
