My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were large and spotlessly clean with a comfortable bed, but there was a strong cigarette smell even though it's supposed to be smoke-free. The service was courteous and helpful, with some lapses in attentiveness during breakfast. The location was optimal for exploring the city center but had a slight inconvenience with taxi drop-offs. The dining was good overall with a variety of tasty desserts. The facilities were sufficient for a comfortable stay.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was great, with easy access to many attractions and a lovely sitting area.

The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of Madrid, steps away from major landmarks and shopping areas. The rooms, while small and dark, are ready for check-in, and the air conditioning struggles to combat the persistent heat. The service is friendly but somewhat lacks attention to detail. The dining options are varied, though not particularly rich. Overall, a great spot for exploring the city with a few drawbacks.

Although the room provided was smaller than expected and had an unpleasant smell of sewage, the hotel's proximity to Madrid city center makes it convenient for exploring the city. The service was decent, although some staff members seemed uninspired. The lack of vegetarian or vegan options in the dining selection might not suit everyone, but the hotel offers a great location near major attractions.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although comfortable and with a gracious old-world style, were small and dark with views of an internal shaft. The service was friendly and helpful, yet not always attentive to specific needs. The location was ideal for sightseeing but could be noisy due to the lively surroundings. The dining options were good quality but relatively expensive. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
