The hotel was disappointing for its price and services. The suite reserved had a noisy air conditioning unit and a non functioning hair dryer. We requested for a room change. The other room didn’t have a functioning dryer as well. The bathroom has a poor water blockage from the shower. The toilet was a separate room from the shower room which was fine, however the ventilation system was poor. The room has a complimentary bottle of water. We had to go to the lobby to purchase a €3 water.
This hotel is wonderful. Even though it is huge, it works like a well oiled machine. From there delicious breakfast to the coordination of elevators, the cleanliness and the quiet. The location is incredible! With Plaza de España across the street and the metro within a few feet of the hotel door, getting anywhere is easy. Great experience overall.
Amazing service from every single person! Isabela in particular was very helpful with a dinner reservation and when I left my bag at the restaurant, coordinating with them for me to go pick it up.
The elevators are terrible, many rooms for 6 elevators that the bell service uses too.
Breakfast the same every day for six days it’s not good.
No fridge in the rooms and I ordered and they dont have. Babys milk open and throw away the rest (daily)
The towel in the room was dirt and the black floor in the bathroom you can tell was moldy

Can’t control ac on winter time, either hot or vent mode. No ac cool mode. Sometimes room was hot and you have to open window to let air in and cool it. But then you hear the noise from outside. Rooftop cool but overcrowded. Far from Plaza Mayor and Plaza del Sol. Breakfast was very good.
