This place is in the heart of Puerta del Sol. You will be steps away from the “go to” spots. Expect crowds, though, everywhere you go. The good thing is that - despite the craziness of the area - the room is 90% sound proof, which allows you to sleep without the noise outside. It has the basics (mini fridge, small stovetop and mini sink), safe and small closet. Great A/C, hot water and the plus is that the price included breakfast (I know that’s factored in into the price, but is something less to think about). If you’re short on time and want to take advantage of being close to everything, then this is definitely the place. An important disclaimer is that there is one set of stairs to get to the elevator and then from the elevator to the room. Consider this carrying luggage, strollers of wheelchairs.

Property is in a great location, staff are friendly, room is very clean other than grout areas in shower, and the AC cranks once they get it working. However more like a 2 star than 3 star. At check in they did the same euro to dollar conversion a previous review stated, even though I specifically said to charge in euros. So add 5% to the room rate for comparison. Had to get the front desk to get the AC working, but they did and it worked well. Elevator is on half-floors: So you walk up a flight of stairs to the elevator, go to your floor, then walk up another flight of stairs to where your room is. Odd but not that big a deal for most. Towels are made out of recycled material, guessing plastic bottles because they do not absorb water. Very annoying. Hot water is hit and miss. Front desk suggests just wait 15 minutes or not shower during peak times. 15 minutes is a long wait if you are standing wet in the shower waiting to rinse the soap off. Breakfast was fine though pretty basic. Our room faced the street, so it was a little noisy until about midnight. Not terrible but audible. If the price was right, I would probably stay there again, which is why I did not give it a 1 rating. Other than the hydrophobic towels and hot water issue, nothing was terrible and the location/staff were great.

Brilliant location

The location was excellent, above a bustling lane of restaurants right in the centre of Madrid and very close to everything, just around the corner from the Puerta del Sol. The associated restaurant downstairs (which provided breakfast) was great. The apartment itself was comfortable enough, though a little tired and probably due for an update. It lacked a few basic things like reading lamps, plugs for sinks, coffee maker or cafetière, and perhaps a few laundry pods could have been supplied.

The property was right done the street from the main plaza and directly above a great nightlife environment. We would just lay down at the end of a busy day and open the window and just listen to the sounds of people as we relaxed and fell asleep. The metro was really easy to get to and the staff was attentive and the building was clean and felt safe. Would go back for sure.

Excellent location, 5 minutes to Plaza Mayor. Amazing selection of bars and restaurants in the locale. However you must try the restaurant that is part of the apartments. Food was great as are all the staff. Breakfast also served there and was great each morning. Staff at check in friendly, apartments cleaned daily which we didn’t expect, towels also changed daily.

Great location ! Close to everything in Petra del Sol! Lots of great restaurants. The only downside is noise at night , some nights it is getting difficult to sleep . Rather than that the room conditions, cleanliness and AC we’re all working great. WiFi also sometimes didn’t work well.

Positives. Location is fantastic, in the middle of everything and close to metro but off the Main Street and quiet enough. Staff working us very helpful and friendly. Negatives. Apartment is small and dated, furniture beat up. Frying pan all scraped and unsafe to use. I boiled water for my tea in 6-7 liter pot as there was none smaller. Dryer is ancient. Bathroom has very little counter space.

While the apartment was okay, there was no tea making facility with no jug and no coffee or tea bag’s. The room was small. It was quite noisy until late every night however there are some that might be okay with that. The reception were not particularly friendly. It was convenient to shops and food with a lot of nightly activity in the plaza. The lift did not do to all floors

Good location near Puerto del Sol

The advantages: - good location near Puerto del Sol - reasonable price Challenging aspects: - the room was quite small and did not match the photos much - the best days of the room were already behind - the sounds and conversations of the hall, staircase and courtyard are heard very well in the room - the elevator is very small and does not go all the way up - the room key card did not work on the lower door at all and despite our requests it could not be made to work. Overall, I would say that the apartment is suitable for a short stay if the location is important. I do not recommend it for families with children or older people. I personally don't plan to come again (with the same money, I'm sure you'll find a better alternative).

Great location in central Madrid and many restaurants nearby. The beds are comfortable. However their booking policy is very deceiving. I booked the hotel through Expedia but the front desk lady insisted that I pay them directly and have to choose to pay in US doollar with their exchange rate. So we ended up paying $40 more than what was quoted by Expedia. Ironically on the receipt it was stated that we were given the choice to pay Euro or US dollar. There is no living room in this apartment, just two bedrooms and a kitchenette. There is no coffee or tea provided, no coffee pot either. If you want to cook, you will need to buy cooking oil and salt as none of the basic spices are provided. It looks like there is a washer but again no soap is provided. There is no paper towels or tissue paper provided either. The hot water tank is very small and water temperature is very hard to adjust. After two people take a shower, the third person has to wait for hours before the water gets warm again. The towels of this place are paper thin, the cheapest kind I have never seen before at a hotel. It took a long time to warm up the room and it never got up to the cozy temperature we wanted. There is no closet in the second bedroom and no place to hang your clothes. If you want to keep the luggage at this place for a few hours after you check out, your luggage will be put in an open air area with no cover above. Overall this is not a comfortable place for travelers.

Overpriced for what it is. Our room looked nothing like the picture. Kitchen was basically in a closet and the bathroom was so dark even with the light on. Breakfast included at the restaurant downstairs was just ok. A/C was strong. Good location - a few mins from Puerta de Sol. The hotel is inconvenient in that there is only a tiny elevator on the 2nd floor so you need to carry your luggages up there first and then only 1 person 1 luggage fit in the elevator at a time. Also, the lights in the stairwell frequently shut off and the steps are uneven and dangerous. I did not appreciate that when I paid with my credit card, the machine gives you the option to be charged in Euros or CAD. The reception forced me to choose CAD which includes an up charge in the conversion rate. It ended up costing me an extra $50 which was irritating. Would not recommend.
