Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Distance from the city centre — The hotel is about 20 minutes by metro to downtown, and walking is not recommended. This is fine for business but less ideal for sightseeing.
- Dining scores lower — Dining rates 7/10, with one guest finding the coffee undrinkable, though breakfast is otherwise praised.
- Inconsistent staff experiences — While many guests praise the staff, one review describes rude service that overshadowed an otherwise pleasant stay.
- Area lacks character — The San Blas neighbourhood is functional but not particularly interesting, with nothing special for leisure travellers.

8.8Verified guest“I enjoyed my stay—the hotel itself was great—but the staff were very rude, which was shocking for such a nice place and really dampened the experience.”
8.8Verified guest“Breakfast was fine, but the coffee was undrinkable.”
8.8Verified guest“The staff were really nice and the place is perfect for a business trip like mine. For other purposes, though, it's a bit far from downtown. Very clean and comfortable. Great value for money!”
8.8Verified guest“Everything was fine with my family, including a 2-year-old. Easy access to the city centre by subway—about 20 minutes from the hotel.”
8.8Verified guest“This is my hotel of choice in Madrid. It's very pleasant and not overly expensive for the quality, and above all close to the Atos offices, which is where I need to be. I imagine it would also work well for a city visit—the metro is nearby. Of course, you shouldn't try walking to the city centre, and while the area around the hotel seems fine, there's nothing particularly special about it.”
8.8Verified guest“Nice location with metro and bus nearby. Clean and comfortable.”
