Rooms were great and up to date, location was also perfect! Breakfast was good but I wouldn’t pay $30 euro per person for it. Only downsides were that parking was expensive (32 euro) and the garage didn’t work so we were stuck inside for 10 + minutes and never got some sort of refund. In addition, I think there was some sewage leak and it had a strange smell on our second day.

Our biggest regards to Lucas at the front desk who helped change our room as 1st room was located aside all ventilation so was very noisy.
Unfortunately not the best overall quality for a hotel with this reputation.
Amazing breakfast & doormen & rooftop bar! Although our room did not have a view, we were able to see plenty around the hotel. Very spacious and clean.
I booked for 4 adults and specifically requested king and 2 twin beds. I ended up with a not so great king and a lousy uncomfortable sofa bed that my adult kids had to share. It was advertised as a family suite with 2 separate rooms but the rims are very crampy and the overall sqft was less than a regular room in other hotels. Hotel amenities were ok.
Excellent central location in Plaza de España, steps from Gran Vía. The rooftop is outstanding, offering 360º panoramic views, perfect for sunset drinks and photos. Restaurants and bars are modern and convenient, with a strong breakfast buffet. A great choice for comfort, views, and staying right in the heart of Madrid.
