One of the genuinely pleasant stays I have had through years of extensive travels across the world both for work and leisure. The room was immaculately clean and had perhaps one of the most comfortable ambience I have experienced in a hotel. As much as I enjoyed Madrid, I also didn’t hesitate to stay in whenever I could. It was a good respite from the August heat and had a home-like feel, thanks to the modern design that pays homage to Madrid’s own architectural heritage and the building’s own character and history.
While the quality of the breakfast could be improved flavour-wise, it was decent enough and more affordable than comparable joints in the area. That said, the hotel is perfectly and centrally located, within a few blocks from Calle Serrano in Salamanca on one side and Las Salesas and Chueca on the other. It’s wedged between vibrant areas of excellent dining, shopping and coffee options. Yet, the hotel area itself is serene, clean and practically crowd-free.
There is access to several metro lines as there are three metro stations within easy walking distance. If you’re thinking of taking the metro to/from the airport, the hotel can be accessed by transferring at Nuevos Ministerios from where the hotel is a stop or two away on another metro line.
Lastly, the stay would not have been as pleasant without the magnificent service offered by its staff, all of whom were perpetually professional, warm and helpful.
