“The location, right on Plaza Mayor, is undeniably a draw, placing you in the heart of Madrid's bustle. While I appreciate the modern design touches and in-room amenities like blackout blinds and Nespresso machines, a detail like the open bathroom concept in some rooms could be a sticking point for some travelers. Overall, a stylish base for exploring the city, especially if you prioritize location above all else.”

The location was excellent. It made exploring the city very easy. The rooftop pool was a nice feature. I appreciated the opportunity to relax there after a day of sightseeing. The breakfast each morning was also good. There was a wide selection of items available.

The room size was smaller than I expected. It felt a bit cramped. The noise from the square below was noticeable at night. This made it difficult to sleep at times. The gym only had limited equipment. It had one treadmill.
