Great property, great location near dinning and quick connections to transportation hubs. Very clean and quite room, however I have to say that the front desk individual was not friendly and unpersonal.

The person the desk was really nice!

I would stay here again. Though the room could use a little upkeep (the workmanship is sloppy), it was clean, quiet, and the bed was comfortable.

For the price the hotel is expensive not especially wonderful on its own terms. But you're paying for the location, which is excellent in terms of access to parks, the Prado, many other museums, food, and the major train station.

No kettle available for rooms, you have to go to reception. There were no windows in the hallway I stayed on, this became very apparent when I stepped out of the elevator and the hallway was pitch black. I turned around to get back in the elevator and realized each section of the hallway had individual motion sensor lights.

Everything was really fine! I only was mising something to put my stuff in the bathroom and practical wall hooks.

It was an amazing stay. Very friendly staff and amazing location. House keeping is top notch. The only discturbance was the rumbling noise from the subway which runs right below.

I didn't feel in Spain. Staff was a little too uptight. Even as they smiled, they felt robotic. Still the place is perfectly located within train and bus stations. So, if you are looking for that, as I was, staff, which is almost a reflection of management, is secondary. And the price was right.

As experienced budget travelers, we were more than happy with the comfort, cleanliness and especially the friendliness of service staff at Urbansea Atocha. The location can’t be beat: A 10-15 minute walk from Atocha train station (hub for commuter train and Express bus from the airport, as well as Renfe high-speed trains to other cities), Prado (Museo de Reina Sofia is even closer), Botanical Gardens, center city highlights, and the hipster neighborhood of Lapies. Plus, the hotel accommodates (free) early checkin if there are rooms that weren’t occupied the previous night. This is really helpful for Americans arriving on red-eye flights! Our room was small, of course, but pleasantly modern in the European style. Note that bathroom area is separated from bedroom area by a solid white curtain you can draw across, but toilet is set in its own cubicle with a frosted glass door so we did not find privacy to be an issue. Also note that rooms with two twin beds seem to be the norm in Spain (often pushed together to mimic a queen), so put in your request for a double when making your reservation if you care about that.
