Very Friendly staff as in in all Melia hotels - which really is the most consistent i have seen in any chain.

The Melia in Madrid is huge - you would imagine since lots of customers walk through the service would be poor, but it was as good as always.

location: good if you are there for work - it is located where most offices are. to get to central Madrid it is a small can ride (around 10-15 Eur)

Fitness: well equipped gym (just some free weights and one multi gym along with couple of treadmills). Fresh towels, apples and water always there.
Unfortunately they close their pool anytime other than summer. which was disappointing since the temperature was 21 when i was there (pretty warm)

Rooms: tad old but well kept, cleanliness maintained well

events: they organized some great drinking games

Food: very consistently good food throughout my stay of 4 days

I stayed here due to a conference that I was attending at the hotel. Got in really late and was given my room key.

The room itself was big and had a separate hall area as well as basin area separate to the bathroom.

The room however did not smell that good. The bathroom was the problem and the entire place smelled musty.

The bed was comfortable and the size of the room impressive. However the actual bathroom is not configured nicely. The toilet is not in a convenient place and you are forced to hug the toilet roll dispenser when sitting on it. The combined shower and bath are small.

The coffee shop at the entrance is really nice had morning coffee and croissant there. The milk coffee was really amazing as was the service from the very kind gentleman.

I previously stayed at this hotel and really enjoyed it. I travel all over Europe every week and believe that this hotel has the best breakfast that you will find anywhere. I will be there again from next Monday to Wednesday.

A very busy hotel when I was there, a few conferences but apart from a short wait for a table for breakfast everythiong was excellent.

More a business hotel as it is a little away from the major atractions but not too far away from the Metro- which is even better than London Tube. I saw lots of young people get up to offer their seats to other people- being a Londoner I was shocked as the last time I saw this behaviour on the tube it was me standing up to offer a seat.

Food at the hotel was excellent and the rooms quite and comfortable- even the wi-fi worked well on the 9th floor most of the time.

Large but friendly could not ask for more especially as i turned up with no reservation and stgill got a good rate.

Search out some of the local bars a cafes for some atmosphere and good Jamon
