Massive place is essentially a huge ramada inn

small room with view onto a window shaft, fake rug is generic astroturf, clogged and confusing elevator system, hundreds of guests packed into crowded lobby/common spaces including cafeteria, where breakfast is fine but nothing special. Location is great, and the building is iconic, but tThere are many better hotel options in that corner of Madrid.

We stayed 2 nights to celebrate our anniversary and we had a bad experience. The staff and service was poor and they need to improvements to provide a better customer experience. Specially the room service and pool area bar-waiters where it took a longer time than normal for serving us and the attitude was very unpleasant.

Tiny rooms with very basic amenities. They catfish you with pictures that look nice but then you end up in a room facing giant air conditioning units. The hotel was oversold. All of the areas were terribly crowded and staff stressed out and stretched to the max. The pool is tiny and was always packed beyond its capacity. So was the rooftop bar as they let people who are not guests there. The views from the rooftop are nice if you manage to find a spot to enjoy it.

Great location! Amazing views on the rooftop bar. Pool is nice but a little small. Staff was amazing and accommodating. The area is central to a lot of recreation and beautiful historical buildings. A bit busy at the hotel but that is to be expected for that area. The room we had with the balcony was perfect for the 2 of us. Loved the bathroom. Breafast was great too.
