Despite a great location and friendly staff I wouldn’t recommend nor stay in the hotel again. Luckily it was only 1 night, would have moved if I was suppose to stay there any longer. The room was tiny, view on the wall, scary, claustrophobic lift, dodgy and smelly entrance to the building. No soundproofing so I could even here the people next door snoring. Not a good night sleep and deffo not worth the price paid.

Secured and close to everywhere.

I slept really well, no noise, and good views at Sky 44 and even from my window. The only thing it is on the 7th floor and elevator had issues in addition of me not liking the small elevator I used the stairs in total 9 floors from the base. They close the door at midnight, but they say you can use your car to open the door. The only thing I did not like was there is no mini fridge.Make sure you get what you selected.

It’s no 5 star hotel but it did the job - right in the middle of town. Amazing views at the roof top. Walking distance to everything. So many restaurants and souvenir stores. Elevator only holds 3 people due to weight restriction so plan ahead. Hotel is on the 7th floor. No complaints at all. Only stayed in the room to sleep And shower.

Loved the location and the reception staff was very nice, my only complaint is that the cleaning staff gets way too loud in the mornings, especially the older lady who seems to constantly give loud instructions to the rest as if she was arguing with them. Other than that, it would be a great choice.

The staff was amazing, the location was unmatched, and the breakfast on the rooftop was great. That said, we had constant issues with the AC. The first night it didn’t work at all, and the second night it only barely worked. Additionally, the elevator was a constant problem. One four-person capacity elevator serves the hotels on the fifth, seventh, eighth, and ninth floors. We frequently ended up just having to climb eight flights of stairs. Besides the elevator and the AC, we had no issues.

Trouble communicating to the hotel staff

My son accidentally left his favorite stuffed animal on the bed. I tried to contact the hotel from the hotels.com support line within one hour after we checked out, as we will be in town until 2 weeks later. No one responded and I tried to call the hotel numerous times, but no one ever picked up the phone call. The stuffed animal is an old toy that may be worthless to others, but it was very special to my son. I am hoping the staff will be able to retrieve for us and we will be able to pick up in person before we leave Madrid.

La localizacion es muy buena, a pasos de todo. El aire acondicionado no se podia controlar desde el cuarto, hacia calor. Se escuchaban ruidos de otros huespedes. Subi varias veces los 7 pisos por las escaleras pues el ascensor tardaba en llegar y era pequeno. Cama comoda y cuarto pequeno pero para dormir ok.
