This was booked for me for a business trip. The hotel location is convenient. The room was adequate. Free wi-fi was available in the room and lobby. My room was directly across from the elevator, so noisy. The decor was probably nice when new, but is not aging well. I was alone so didn't mind that the bathroom was not... More

chic&basic Atocha (madrid) was clean, and basic. The stewards were friendly but not very helpful while not asked. They didn't give us any info about madrid when we checked in. We had to ask for a map, and then ask again to have a better map (with metros and monuments etc). However, they were happy to help when asked to.
