I spent 2 nights at the NH Abascal during a business trip. The hotel is located in a superb old building in the center of Madrid, but far away from the touristic and night life areas. This is quiet, but not very convenient. The immediate impression from the checking is an impression of sadness, linked probably to the decoration, colors... More

Considering the pluses and minuses of the Abascal, I found the experience of staying here overall just fine but only for a "good value" price. But you do have to put up with some significant deficiencies. The rooms are clean and well taken care of overall. The decor is dated, the twin beds are comfortable and you can ask for... More

You don't stay at the NH Abascal because the rooms are amazing or because of high speed Internet. You come here because the hotel staff is simply outstanding and, overall, the hotel represents an excellent value. Excellent location between two metro stops so very easy to get around Madrid. The hotel itself was a former embassy (and, supposedly, a jail,... More

I stayed here with my partner for a weekend recently. The hotel is in a great location and very good for transport links to main city and shopping areas. It is also very handy for the nuevos ministerios metro from the airport. We had booked a special weekend rate including wifi , minibar and breakfast. On arrival we upgraded to... More

I stayed in this hotel over the New Year period taking two rooms on the 3rd floor (325 & 327). The frontage and the main reception area are all very ornate and picturesque in nature and well maintained. The rate I payed was exceptionally good value but may have been drive by time of year as this may primarily be... More

This has become my habitual hotel in Madrid. Clean, comfortable rooms, good food and service. Yes, the hotel is slightly dated but its not bad, especially for the price. Needs new gym and free internet though.

After several years without visiting this property I came back to discover that they keep their high standards. The reception staff is nice and always addresses you by your name. The lobby bar keeps being a calm venue to relax. Rooms are wide enough but bathrooms start to look a little outdated. I would ask for rooms facing the internal... More

Stayed here during a conference in November 2012. The hotel was adequate enough; staff helpful, food just ok, rooms standard. I would not stay here for leisure as it really isn't a comfortable holiday hotel, it felt more geared to business travellers. The location for the metro was great, but the free internet connection was horrible. Yes, it was free,... More

Stayed during a conference in Madrid in october 2012. Nice hotel, friendly staff, clean, spaceous room. Breakfast ok, not a great variety, but pretty good for a Southern European Hotel. There is a gym, didn't try it. The hotel is located pretty close to everything, and the metro is just 4 minutes walk away. The reception was very helpful when... More
