This is the best hotel as a reasonable price and good quality of service Very cheap comparing with the other hotels in Madrid but very clean and not fare from the city since we have a car (20-25min) and 10min far from airport Everything was available in the room tooth brush, coffee, slippers and unlimited drink water There is a ironing room and laundry I recommend this hotel for anyone coming to Madrid specifically with a car because I don’t know how long far from metro

The common area on the first floor is spacious and has a water dispenser, but there's no kitchen or fridge. The dorm beds are quite large, and the curtains are excellent at blocking out light. Each room has a bathroom and wash area. You'll need to bring your own padlock for the lockers. The breakfast buffet is plentiful, with bread, coffee, and a variety of juices!

I stayed here for 3 nights in a row and highly recommend it to others for a few reasons: 1. **Fantastic Location for Transport**: It's incredibly close to the metro. Seriously, no exaggeration – you exit the Plaza de España station (line 10), take the 'Princesa' exit, and the hotel entrance is literally just 20 meters away. Super convenient! 2. **Excellent for Shopping & Sightseeing**: The hotel is situated at one end of Gran Via, making it super easy to explore. You can then hop on the free 001 bus to get back. It's also very close to the Royal Palace of Madrid, about a 10-minute walk. Within a 300-meter radius, you'll find plenty of restaurants, Chinese eateries, and a Dia supermarket. Right downstairs is Plaza de España, featuring statues of Cervantes, Don Quixote, and Sancho Panza. 3. **Great Amenities & Cleanliness**: The hotel is very well-maintained, clean, and spacious. You get free access to the rooftop bar, and the breakfast selection is extensive – truly the best hotel breakfast I've had in Spain. The hotel even boasts a rooftop pool, perfect for some stylish photos! The only slight difference I noticed was the elevator system; after swiping your room card and selecting your floor, the system tells you which specific elevator to wait for. It felt a bit unusual at first, but you quickly get used to it after a few uses. 4. **Excellent Service**: The hotel staff provides great service, especially the doorman. He always greeted me and chatted, creating a really pleasant atmosphere that I enjoyed very much.

Located in a middle-class residential area, the surroundings are quite peaceful, yet the hotel boasts excellent transportation links. The subway is just a five-minute walk away, and there's a bus stop right outside the hotel. You can even walk to the palace or take a bus from the hotel entrance. There are several supermarkets conveniently located just a right turn from the hotel entrance. Every staff member at the hotel is incredibly warm and helpful. There was a previous review mentioning an elderly person in their seventies being asked to pay extra and then being kicked out; that's simply a Chinese elder trying to take advantage and then twisting the facts when it didn't work out. It's completely untrue and shouldn't be believed. It's truly irresponsible that Trip.com would publish such a review along with photos showing people's faces.

The industrial-style decor was as basic as it gets, which was fine since I only needed to sleep for five hours before catching my flight. There was no view from the window, it was completely blocked. It's a convenient ten-minute drive to the airport, and there's also a shuttle bus available.

Good hotel room, very nice morning buffet with lots of different dishes. Hotel's restaurant at late night also serves pretty fancy food. Also, I really loved the free water and drink dispenser there. Got myself lots of free hot milk and fruit flavor water there. Would really recommend this place!

The hotel was very good and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The location is convenient, with the underground metro station only a 3–4 minute walk away. There is also a Lidl store about a 20-minute walk from the hotel, which is useful for buying groceries and daily essentials. The bedding and towels were changed daily, and the room was neat and well maintained. The shower and toilet were also very clean. The room felt airy and comfortable, which made the stay even more pleasant. Overall, it was a very good experience and I would recommend this place to others.

It took less than half an hour to get to the hotel by taxi from the airport. The hotel is conveniently located near bus stops and a subway station, both within a 3-minute walk. While there aren't many dining options directly around the hotel, the subway provides easy access to all the major attractions and a wider variety of restaurants in the city center. The hotel breakfast is quite European, mainly consisting of various breads with no hot food options.

Great hotel! Even though the bathroom and toilet are shared, they were spotless. There's a microwave in the common area, which was super convenient for heating up food from the supermarket. My friend and I were both very satisfied. The street view from the hotel balcony was also beautiful.
