We absolutely loved our stay at this hotel! We booked a Junior Suite overlooking Plaza España and were captivated by the stunning Madrid view and vibrant nightlife. The hotel’s location is unbeatable just steps away from the Plaza de España Metro station and right in the heart of Gran Vía, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the city. The experience exceeded our expectations, and we can’t wait to return!
