“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.

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.

sink placementlimited dining
my room was not great. the sink was actually in the room, not even in the bathroom. it felt odd and lacked privacy. also, the limited dining options were disappointing since i prefer more variety.
