Excellent hotel at the Plaza de España. Great location, close to shopping, restaurants and more. It's our second time there! Great Staff and breakfast buffet!
From check in to check out a wonderful experience. Breakfast is well worth the extra.
Check out the glass walkway on the roof terrace where hotel guests have free access.
Great location near a metro stop and in all the action. Beautiful view of the square. The breakfast was incredible. Lots of choices and plenty of wait staff to refresh the food.
Our family enjoyed every minute we spent at this beautiful hotel. Everything was nice, extremely clean and well organized. Staff friendly and approachable, will definitely visit again.
