I went to Madrid to celebrate a special event with my wife and I decided for this hotel as it is exactly in the center!! I confirm the position is perfect!! Close to everything! The courtesy of hotel assistant also very cosy. The only sadness is the room! They have few rooms with front view and all the little rest... More

This hotel is slap bang in the middle of loads of great restaurants, in a really lively area. It feels rustic but quite newly renovated, and our room was spacious with a lovely beamed ceiling. The bed was comfortable and we had no street noise. It was so easy to get around and it made our short trip even better... More

We stayed in a 3 bed room for 3 nights. The location is excellent next to Plaza de la Puerta del Sol in the middle of Madrid. The hotel is a bit difficult to find. The entrance is a black door to the right of the restaurant En Busca del Tiempo. There is only one narrow staircase with many steps... More

I stayed one night in Busca del Tiempo as part of a longer trip, and fell in love with it. It is in the heart of Madrid but in a quiet sidestreet, the hotel is full of history and is a perfect mix of old brick walls and wooden beams, and modern decoration. The room had airconditiioning (which was great... More

We had a double room with bathroom en suite. And, most importantly, we had a room that faced the back of the hotel. The hotel is located just a block from the always hopping Puerta del Sol, and there are numerous bars and restaurants on the same street and in the vicinity. Amazingly, we never heard any outside noise once... More

We found this hotel by chance on a weekend when everyone else was sold out. We were so glad that we did! The room was so cute (we suggest requesting a room with a view!!) and it was the best shower we'd taken in our 3 months in Europe! Most staff didn't speak good English, but we didn't have any...

I've stayed at this hotel on several occassions, and I've been very pleased with each experience. The rooms and bathrooms are very clean and there is air conditioning. The location is very convenient and close to everything, inlcuding a metro station. They now offer free breakfast downstairs at the restaurant. The service has gotten better over the years. And the... More

We stayed in these apartments for 2 nights. They are located on a pedestrian street within walking distance to two Irish bars, 'The Dubliner' & 'O'Connell St.' and other local bars & restaurants. There are several flights of stairs but there is also a lift available after the first flight. We checked in and were shown straight to our rooms... More

Clean with comfortable beds. Within a couple of blocks there are more tapas cafes than you could ever eat at. Close to the metro. Felt very safe - we were 2 women traveling alone. The staff was very helpful and friendly, spanish speaking only. They were able to do our laundry for us after running the days linens - very... More
