The hotel rooms were okay but needed a bit of an upgrade as the decor looked tired and there were a couple of big stains on our bedroom carpet, which did not look great. However, the service was amazing, and the staff were very kind and welcoming. The location was fine if you don't mind a bit of a walk to the main attractions. The dining experience was really good in terms of variety and service. Overall, a decent stay with some minor drawbacks.

The hotel rooms were spacious and clean, but in need of renovation with noticeable cigarette marks and uncomfortable temperatures. The service was a mixed bag with friendly staff but unhelpful front desk for repairs. The location was perfect for Metro travel around Madrid. The dining experience was good but somewhat repetitive. Overall, the hotel offers a great location but falls short on room conditions and service.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms in the new section were spacious and clean but had a bad air quality issue, making them feel stuffy and old. The service was a bit inconsistent with some staff being rude, while others were friendly and helpful. The location was convenient, close to the main street but with a strange basement setup. The dining options were varied but overpriced, resembling a big canteen. Overall, the hotel had its perks and drawbacks.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. The room, while spacious and with a comfortable bed, felt outdated and in need of an upgrade. The service, though helpful and friendly, had some inconsistencies.

I was excited to stay at this hotel, but unfortunately, my experience was mixed. The rooms had broken plug sockets and felt old-fashioned and 'tired,' which was disappointing. However, the view from the room on two sides and the height were impressive. The service was a bit inconsistent; although the staff were friendly and helpful, there were some communication mishaps. The location was a great base for exploring the city but might not be the best choice for a peaceful night's sleep.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were very good size and well-located near the lift, but unfortunately, they were very old, disgusting, and had a bad smell. The service was exceptional, especially when my return flight was canceled multiple times; they were so helpful and even prepared special vegetable sandwiches for me. The location was amazing, just a 10-minute walk to Plaza de España, and close to all the sightseeing spots. The dining experience was overall good with a variety of options, but I found the food to be a bit oily. Despite the room condition, the convenient location and outstanding service truly made my stay memorable.
