Exceptional hotel. Super friendly and helpful staff. Had my room ready even though I arrived early. The room was large, airy and clean. Had three balconies looking out over Calle de Arsenal. Lovely large bathroom with all the amenities you need. Breakfast was amazing with loads of delicious options. Prime location for visiting the sites in Madrid and for accessing the metro. Area is safe and lively at all hours. Windows are soundproof. 10/10 would recommend this hotel - no negatives whatsoever.

This is an amazing property. It was my second time staying there and it will definitely be the place I stay every time I visit family in Madrid. It’s a clean hotel, safe area, fun area with lots to do in the area. It’s also between two metro stations (Sol and Opera), and the breakfast is pretty great! Great price for central Madrid!!
