Stayed here with our children in a Family Room - King size bed + bunks. Room was perfectly sized; very nice bathroom; good free internet connection. Good breakfast - staff were efficient. Near to El Retiro Park + good place to stay with a young family away from the bustle of the centre. Nice walk to the Prado.

My wife and I recently returned from New Year's in Madrid, staying at this hotel. We loved it! It is a high tech hotel, and was recently remodeled. All the rooms we saw on our floor looked very nice, and each had different shapes (not just a cookie cutter). Since it is high tech, it has modern equipment, including a laptop with free internet in each room. The bathroom was excellent. Our room faced the inner courtyard - no view, but very quiet.

We chose this hotel for its price for value. There were many hotels in the price range (100-150 Euro/night). But most had some sort of problem for us: seedy location, no internet, dark rooms, poor reviews here, etc. I am happy to report that the service was excellent and that staff really went out of their way to help, although they didn't always know things a tourist might ask. Location right near the upscale boutiques meant that it was fun to walk the area, as well as safe and quiet at night. There is a wonderful restaurant across the street too (in the Rioja club) that is open to the public.

It is also 1.5 blocks away from the subway and another 5 minutes from a light rail network station (connecting the key train stations of Madrid). It was about a 15-20 minute walk to the Prado and museums there. It was probably a similar walk to the main city center (or a few subway stops).

We would definitely be willing to go back.
