The hotel had decent-sized rooms, a lovely pool and rooftop bar, with a comfy bed, though not overly spacious. The service was fine, but for the price paid, I expected a bit more. The location was not very central but easily accessible by Uber or Metro, close to Buen Retiro Park. The dining experience offered high-quality options with a variety of choices. Overall, a good value for the amenities provided.

My stay started off a bit rough due to the room being on the 6th floor, but overall, the hotel offers spread-out rooms that are easily accessible for those avoiding elevators. However, there was a lingering smell of cigarettes that was unpleasant. The service provided was incredibly friendly, even if the staff spoke very little English. The location was unbeatable, with easy access to nice restaurants and bars. The dining experience was fantastic, although the Nespresso machines left much to be desired. The facilities were fair but not exceptional.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were really big and comfortable, complete with a terrace. They had everything we needed, from towels to shower gel, and even an iron and hairdryer. However, there was an exposed electrical outlet in our room for the shaver or hairdryer. The service was top-notch, with juicing fruit & veg throughout the breakfast session. The hotel's location was excellent, close to the subway, airport express bus stop, and a lively square full of dining options. The dining experience was a bit disappointing with a disorganized food selection, but the variety was impressive. Overall, a great value for money!

The hotel rooms were spacious and had nice amenities like a kettle, tea, and coffee, but they smelled heavily of smoke initially. The service was limited only to the reception and had communication challenges with other hotel personnel. The location was convenient with some drawbacks, being right outside the door of the hotel. The dining experience was mixed, ranging from disastrous to fantastic depending on what was ordered. Overall, a place with potential but room for improvement.
