“Hotel itself is ok but location less than desirable”

Was disappointed when we first arrived as we were not expecting to be this far away from the centre. The area that this hotel is in is obviously residential, with many tall brick apartment buildings around, they are not a pretty sight when you want to see Spain. It's a very quiet area, not much going on, don't expect to step outside and find shops or anything. There are a couple of small restaurants nearby, but they're nothing special. Closest metro station is "Sainz de Baranda" which is a 3 minute walk from the hotel. It's about 5-6 stops on 2 different metro lines to get to the centre.

Hotel itself was ok. Room was definitely on the small side but it was efficient enough. Of course your view here will look like the suburbs in any western country. Not a unique experience here. The price was good though, decent value for accommodation in Madrid. But then again, you have to balance that with the decrease in convenience factor.

Just came back from eight nighjts at this hotel. Stay elsewhere if at all possible.

Situated in a section of Madrid east of the Retiro park, you could be anywhere where high rise buildings predominate. No atmosphere. Inconvenient to everything. Everything in hotel done on the cheap. Clean. Staff disorganized and surly. Even refused to call for taxis.
Breakfast lackluster.

See my review of Senator Gran Via where I stayed the preceding week.

I stayed at this hotel with my husband as part of a Bristish Airways package. We had no problems with service. The accomodations were sufficient. It was in in a great location as far as access to Madrid. Would definately stay there again.

Stayed two nights as part of a tour package. Restuarant staff at breakfast very rude. Avoid room 202. Many problems, air-conditioning, hair dryer, not clean, old, etc. There has to be better places to stay. I have provided comments to Grand European Tours.

I stayed for one night in this hotel for my work and paid around 100 EUR for the room and a breakfast. The room was very large and clean. The breakfast buffet was ok but nothing special. This hotel is a bit out of the city center but near the metro. You can find more info on the hotel on (---)
