They tried to charge the breakfast that we didn't have! The room is uncomfortable, bad distribution and conservation, awful bed, the only good thing is that is right in the middle of the scene, so it's even expensive...

First time in Madrid. Chueca is fun but not as smart as some areas of Madrid. Great for the gay scene.
Oscar exceeded our expectations. We upgraded to a superior room as we had read reviews of noisy neighbours. Fabulous room. Bright, funky, clean and comfortable.
Breakfast buffet was great (for Spain) and the breakfast boys were attentive and (extremely pretty!)
Reception staff were incredibly helpful from check in to check out and everything in between.
Brilliant choice for a first visit to Madrid. The only negative was that the roof and pool area was closed which would have been nice to have been notified about in advance as we were looking forward to the views.
ps I would suggest taking a taxi straight to the hotel from the airport if you don't know your way around madrid. It's actually about 50 Euros but worth it. You can take the train back for about 5 Euros once you've got your bearings.

Room Mate Oscar was the perfect location for my 1st trip to Madrid with my partner. It is centrally located in the Chueca district near restaurants, cafes and the San Anton Market. The staff is friendly and our room was a good size for European standards and well appointed. We liked the roof top bar for a nice drink and great views of the area. We were somewhat bore with the daily breakfast which was thankfully included in our package. I don't recommend paying 6.95€ if it is not included since there are many nearby cafes that offer better breakfast. Their breakfast consisted of exactly the same lower grade hams and sweets and breads with no daily variation. Other than that small detail, the Oscar is a great home base to explore Madrid as is only 2 blocks from Gran Via and a stop of the Madrid Tours Buses. You can also walk to El Prado, Plaza Mayor and Palacio Real.

This is my second stay at this time - this time as a solo traveller looking for a cheap but modern, lively hotel near the center of Madrid.

It didn't disappoint - rooms were clean, arty, quiet, and with good amenities. The beds are very comfortable and the bathrooms functional. Lighting in the entire hotel (incl rooms) is interesting / funky.

Breakfast at the hotel was delicious (see pic) with tons of food and good coffee machines. The breakfast room looks over a square near Chueca. I didn't go to the roof deck this trip but the pool / rooftop bar was a highlight from my last trip.

I gave this stay 5 stars mainly for the location, cleanliness and value. For the price I paid, I really think this (and other Room Mate hotels such as the Laura) are hard to beat for staying in Madrid close to the nightlife. Service was friendly and useful too. Definitely give this hotel a try.
