“With its prime spot in Madrid's theatre district, the location alone makes it a winner, and I think the rooftop terrace, with its expansive city views, is a real highlight; the comfortable, spacious rooms add to the appeal.

peeling paint early morning noise
The location of the hotel is quite convenient.
I was disappointed by the condition of the room. The bathroom door had peeling paint and that was not pleasant. there was noise early in the morning from cleaners in the corridor. It was very disruptive.
