The hotel is extremely nice, as it appears from the photo but for me the service was just incredible. Everyone in the team is incredibly nice and well trained - we felt very special throughout our stay. Gracias Pilar and team - I can’t wait to be back

We booked the Suite for a long weekend and weren’t disappointed. Room was spacious with numerous balconies. Extra touches with cakes, fruit or sweets daily along with bottled water, besides the normal tea and coffee. Cleanliness was second to none. Staff were professional and polite. Breakfast was full of variety along with freshly cooked eggs and bacon by order. The indoor and rooftop pool facilities were amazing. Lots of restaurants in the vicinity along with bars. Just a short walk...

Check in was easy. The receptionist, Laura, was lovely and very helpful.
The bed was excellent. Room very clean and spacious.
Our main problem was that the hotel is further from the town than we imagined.
There is a Repsol garage beside the hotel where we bought sandwiches. There is a very good (in our opinion, quite expensive) restaurant beside it but if we wanted to have a drink somewhere else, we would have needed to get a taxi.

Clean, well-maintained, friendly / helpful staff (who spoke English well enough) within a few minutes walk of train station and across from night buses stop for Madrid. Next door to convenience store open late, down street from good pizza shop, across from huge well-kept park, safe neighbourhood. Nothing to the local area but nice break from crowds of Madrid if you want more seclusion.

The hotel was easy to find, just 20 minutes from airport. The room was very well appointed, with a panoramic view of snow topped mountains. The staff were always polite and eager to help. I would certainly recommend this hotel to friends and family.

Excellent hotel although a little further out from the City than expected as we had to catch a bus to the Metro. Wasn't a particular problem as the bus was at the Hotel door. Would have liked tea/coffee facilities in the room - Britts like a cup of tea on awakening! Service and food in the 'Meat Love' restaurant brilliant. Madrid a wonderful place to visit and we would love to come back.
