Great location, nice hospitality but the rooms weren't very functional. At first glance they were…read morealmost fancy looking but up close it seemed a little cheap. Our shower was strange. "Abalu" had been carved out of steel in large letters. I was afraid to stand on the wrong part out of fear of bending it. Plus the shower was in the corner of the bedroom on carpet with a swinging glass door. For the value and location it worked for my husband and I. And as I said the staff was lovely, but if you are looking to spend a little more time in your room, it may not be the place for you.

My wife and I just returned from spending a week here and the facilities at this place may have…read morebeen some of the worst for the money that I have experienced anywhere in the world. Not sure where to start. The jacuzzi in our room took three days any and having to ask five times to have it repaired. Once it was repaired we could not get hot water, actually during the week we only had real hot water three days. Dilapidated shower curtain, light fixtures hanging out of the ceiling, this place may haver been trendy at one time, now it's only trashy. As a matter of fact if you looked out the one window in our room all you could see was trash. I have photos if anyone would like.

I was booked into this hotel by my tour company and I'm pleased. It's walking distance to the train…read morestation. The front desk staff were polite and helpful. I had forgotten an adapter for my phone charger, and they saved me a trip around the neighborhood searching for a store, by having one for purchase. The breakfast buffet is large, varied and tasty. My room is clean, modern and has all the amenities I could ask for, including convenient toiletries and the shower gel smells lovely. The WiFi is fast and free. The surrounding area is not very interesting and the view isn't arresting, but since I'm taking the train tomorrow to Sarria, it ticks all the boxes.

While visiting Madrid, we stayed at El Madrono in the Salamanca neighborhood…read more El Madrono is a modern style hotel with "apartment" style suites aka hotel room with kitchen which is great if you are staying a while, on a certain diet, etc. It also makes for some great extra storage for your luggage and clothes lol. Bathroom, heating, and electric fixtures are very modern for European standards aka great for Americans' long showers and no worries about the hot water running out. Air conditioning thermosthat is programmable and lights are all motion detected. Note that they have afternoon check in and while most international flights from US to Madrid arrive in the morning, you will most likely not be able to check into your room that early but front desk will lock up your luggage which is what we did. Front desk staff is nice and accommodating. They also have us great (local) recommendations for restaurants, shows, trips, etc. and even called to make reservations and plans for us. There are gardens in the back which I'd recommend for a "quieter room". Clean hotel, friendly staff in safe neighborhood and accessible to metro stops. I'd come back!

Nice hotel on the outskirts of Alcalá. Very helpful front desk who gave us all the details on how…read moreto get to Madrid on the metro as well as where we should go once there. Breakfast was standard Euro fare, included in our room rate. Rooms were tidy and well appointed, great shower. My room had a balcony overlooking the great outdoor pool area. In the warm weather, it would be a great place to relax. Walking distance to many restaurants and a huge shopping center. Wifi was great, although it did not work for about a day and a half of the 6 day stay.

This hotel is in a great location and is reasonably priced. The rooms are fairly basic, but…read moreadequate and clean. It was somewhat noisy, but that doesn't bother me. We had some confusion where they double-charged us for breakfast. Later they contacted us to refund the overcharge - I'm not sure whether they did that because I posted a negative review online, or if they discovered the error on their own.
