“The location was perfect, just a short stroll from Gran Via, surrounded by shops and restaurants. The breakfast buffet offered a variety of fresh items to start my day right.”

“Our room was great value for money and well-equipped, provided with a comfortable desk and good shower plus a big balcony.”

8.8Verified guest

“Room and bathroom were well sized – not too small as is often the case in other hotels. I liked that the price of breakfast was included in the room. I also have to say that the breakfast is not super good, but it's good. Perfect location, central and you have everything at hand. Even the Callao metro station is next door. Friendly staff.”

8.8Verified guest

“The location is very good: a quiet street, 5 minutes' walk from Puerta del Sol and Gran Via. Two metro stations nearby, but we hardly used them as all the main attractions can be reached on foot. Three shopping malls within walking distance, with supermarkets on the minus first floor. It takes 15 minutes to get to the airport from Plaza Sibelius. Breakfast is ordinary European, the staff is very friendly. The room is the same as in the photo, with everything there. Plumbing and water pressure are excellent.”

8.8Verified guest

“Elegant location, a large room, about 20 m without a bathroom – good room cleaning, excellent mattress and pillow. Room 511 went into the yard, no noise from the street. Excellent linens, lots of storage space in the closet, bedside tables, table, fridge with minibar, chair. Bathroom equipment without complaints – not new but everything works and is perfectly clean, two sinks and a bidet, and a decent size. Around a pile of food and shops, on Carmen Square, taxi stand. To the subway a few minutes walk. Excellent Wi-Fi, no dropouts and with good speed. The room has a lot of different lighting, and no ordinary hotel shade – everything is super. If your budget allows, you can safely book this hotel.”
