There was heavy construction in the facility during my stay. This included hammering onto my room walls!!!!!! Simply abusive and a horrible experience I would like to get some accountability for.

As other reviews mention, there is prostitution in this side street from the main drag. Nonetheless, it is still a safe area as there are tourists and eateries all over. The property itself is very clean and modern. Check in was easy and the front desk was very friendly. Excellent value for the location and proximity to tourist area.

It was fine for a one night stay. Location was great but the hotel is pretty dated. The bed was a bit uncomfortable. That said, I’d say it met my expectations.

Hotel very clean and people at the desk very nice. Really like idea about "green button" which mean they do not change the towels till is needed. Dispensers rather than samples is nice and eco- friendly. I would definitely come back.

Good affordable option in the center of Madrid! AC worked great, the room was clean and decent size. Bathroom and shower was good, plenty of towels. The street scene outside was a bit sketchy but overall no problems. Some street noise during the night but nothing terrible. Loved the balcony!

The big problem in this property is that the location is surrounded by prostitutes 24/7. It is not for families or couples

I enjoyed my stay here. The hotel is located very close to Gran Via so it's essentially a 10 to 20 minute walk to all the major attractions of Madrid. It's far enough off the main road that it's not insanely busy. My room faced the back of the building so I did not hear any noise from the street. The room was clean. My only complaint is that the doors are very thin so you hear everything from the hallway and that would wake me up in the mornings. There are a lot of reviews about the presence of prostitutes on the street which is certainly true but there were only a couple and they don't bother you in any way. As a solo, female traveller I never felt unsafe or uncomfortable. I think it's a good spot for the price they charge, especially given so much else in Madrid is very expensive. The front desk is staffed 24/7 and they all spoke English and were very nice.

the area around the hotel was dirty and probably with prostitutes. It's not the hotel's fault, but still, it's an issue. of course, I book a 3 star hotel, so I know that it can't be perfect. The hotel staff was excellent.
