I would have rated this hotel 5-stars had it not been for our experience on the first day. This is not an ordinary hotel, which we actually loved. It feels more like you are living in a small apartment in Madrid. It is a great location, very walkable to all major sights downtown and close to metro lines, restaurants and shopping. The room was clean, the AC was cold and it was surprisingly quiet. Everything we wanted. My only complaint was with hotel management. There is only staff there from 2pm-10pm which we knew. On the day we were to check-in our flight from the US arrived early in the morning. Earlier in the week, I messaged the hotel to inquire if there was any opportunity to drop off our bags. They told me that the day before check-in we would be sent an access code to the building which would allow us to drop off our bags early and then we could come back at 2:00 to check-in (BTW, you need an access code to enter the building at anytime of day). That was the last I heard from them. They never sent me an access code and you couldn’t reach anyone by phone. We arrived that morning with our luggage and no instructions at all. I started messaging with them the day before and all the way till check-in at 2:00 with no response. We ended up finding a luggage locker place a half mile away and stored our stuff there so we could go explore. When we finally came back at 2:30, we had to call to get access, our room wasn’t ready, we had to wait till they could let us into our room.

Excellent location for centre of Madrid, short walk to Opera Metro, slightly further to Sol. Loads of cafes and bars to hand, Carrefore within 5 mins. Rooms are basic but functional and the reception is operated part of day. Easy access in and out - only (minor) downside is poor sound proofing between rooms and street. Everything else really positive.

A very convenient place in the heart of Madrid city centre, very close to metro stations and main attractions. It’s an old building, and it needs refurbishment, but this hotel is good value for money. WiFi works well, and I like very much that they try to be sustainable with water resources.

Excellent little boutique hotel!
Girls trip to Madrid. We were instantly pleased with the hotel when we arrived. Room was perfect for the three of us. Clean and roomy. Gabby checked us in, we unloaded and we’re off to explore the city. Location was perfect. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to be in the thick of the action.
