We had a great stay. Place is in an excellent location, walkable to many nice places in Madrid. Great space. If anything we could say that could be improved, if beds could be a little bit more comfortable, it would be perfect. Definitively, we would come back.

Fantastic location in heart of Madrid

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. It is not a high end hotel However the location and other mentioned points above will cover it.

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).

Excellent Apartments in Perfect location

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. Amazing time had in Madrid

Decent place for the money

Very good price and good size for a family of 4. Great location and good level of cleanliness. It comes with a full kitchen and washing machine which is big plus! I don't know if its just our apt but the only complaint is the Wifi is really bad.

Movida is here

If you're going to Madrid for the first time and your looking for "movida" this is the place. It's on the middle of everything. Just travel light for you will have to do the stairs.

Unable to have taxis drop you off at hotel you must walk to hotel. In addition, elevator does start at first level you must carry luggage to first set of stairs. Rooms are not all accessible with elevator. Hotel is in the middle of strip of restaurants and bars which people are out partying until 5am and unable to sleep.

Expensive not worth the cost

WiFi doesn’t work at all. If you plan to get any work or even a email or a simple task of checking into your flight don’t stay here. Only good thing is location in center. So noisy due to multiple bars and tapas place in the street next to the apartment all the way to 4 am

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.

This is the perfect set-up for younger and middle-aged travelers/couples who travel light, move fast, and are not particularly concerned with a spacious room. Not so much so for seniors like us in our early 70's lugging multiple bags. We are pretty spry and fit for our age but there were a couple of steep stairways we had to negotiate which was a pain with luggage at check-in and check-out. We were on the 4th floor and there is a tiny elevator that goes to floors 2 and 3 as I remember, so that helped. Street scene was a bit noisy into the later hours. The breakfast set up was decent. Overall, a good value for the money.
