Room was good size and really clean, all new furniture and massive tv. The bathroom was a bit small and beds were a bit hard - but overall comfortable. The hotel is in a great location! I would stay here again

A very convenient place in the heart of Madrid city centre, very close to metro stations and main attractions. It’s an old building, and it needs refurbishment, but this hotel is good value for money. WiFi works well, and I like very much that they try to be sustainable with water resources.

Perfect and Clean room in the Center of the city. very discreet and cosy place perfect if you want your own privacy with just codes to get in and out without having to pass reception. Perfect location aswell and room was almost like in a 4 star hotel without having a “lobby and reception”.

Excellent location for centre of Madrid, short walk to Opera Metro, slightly further to Sol. Loads of cafes and bars to hand, Carrefore within 5 mins. Rooms are basic but functional and the reception is operated part of day. Easy access in and out - only (minor) downside is poor sound proofing between rooms and street. Everything else really positive.

Excellent little boutique hotel!
Girls trip to Madrid. We were instantly pleased with the hotel when we arrived. Room was perfect for the three of us. Clean and roomy. Gabby checked us in, we unloaded and we’re off to explore the city. Location was perfect. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to be in the thick of the action.

Great room in middle of old Madrid
Room was small but clean and modern. Nice bathroom. The house and staircases leading up to the hotel scared me a bit because it was in very poor condition but the rooms itself was top class. Location is certainly in the middle of old Madrid, very close to Plaza Mayor, Sol and Teatro Real. Room was perfect for me as a solo traveller, imagine it would be very small for two.
