This is a small hotel near the Reina Sofia museum. The location is a little removed from the center of everything closer to the Puerta del Sol. The room was a little tight, but it was very clean, the shower was great, and we enjoyed that the sink, toilet, and shower were separated so that one of us could use the shower, while the other used the sink or toilet. The staff was very friendly and offered us a welcome glass of rose and a bottle of wine when we got to our room. We did not pay for the breakfast as part of the rate, but purchased it a couple of mornings. It was OK, but not great. We enjoyed the coffee machine, and the lemon cake was excellent. We would recommend the Artrip to anyone looking for good value and for a location near the Reina Sofia and Prado museums.

We stayed for four nights in early March this year (just as the coronavirus was moving into Spain). We found the room very comfortable and quiet, the breakfasts tasty and generous, and the management friendly and very helpful. The neighborhood is very pleasant, with good choices for cafes, and with a self-service laundry across the street and a good market nearby. Hotel can also provide a pocket wifi hotspot to facilitate access to information while out-and-about in the city. We'd stay there again in a heart beat.

Beautifully organised, high standard acommodation, very helpful reception staff available 24/7, excellent location in an interesting central area that's not 'touristy' but within walking distance of major attractions, and 5 minutes from the metro. Great value for money. A really lovely place to stay. And when my return flight was cancelled, a delightful.place to be stranded!
