2/10 Poor

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.

Overal good with some complaints
Good Customers service. Some prostitution activities in the area. Very noisy after Midnights. I could not sleep sometimes because of the noise coming from a bar next door. Location is in the Center of Madrid.

4/10 Fair

My room was tiny and quite old fashioned compared to some other rooms. As a solo female traveller I did not feel safe especially at night. The road was dark and in a red light area. However on arrival the first receptionist was very friendly and helpful.

We always stay here when we are in Madrid. The location is great. At night it does get a bit sketchy around there, but nothing to be concerned about.

The AC has to be 27 degree celsius or higher. This reduced the comfort.
