The place is very nice, the location to me was perfect because i went to Shakira's concert (iberdrola music) and i was looking for somewhere close to it.
I want to mention that this is not m
This place in an interesting concept. Kind of a shared work space combined with rooms and apartments. I only stayed one night and thought value was great. The location is quite remote though, both from the airport and the city centre. It depends on what you need, for me it was fine.
I would not recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Madrid.
My stay was going well until a very serious incident completely changed my experience. While I was out on a tour, someone entered my room, stole cash, and attempted to use my credit cards to make purchases totaling more than €2,500. Although I accidentally left these items in my room while rushing out that morning, this should never happen in any hotel, especially one with such highly rated reviews.
What was even more disappointing was the hotel’s response. After I reported the theft, the staff provided little information other than saying they were “investigating.” The incident occurred on a Sunday, and by the time I checked out on Tuesday, I still had no answers. It has now been several days since I returned home, and I have yet to receive any communication.
Following the theft, I specifically requested that no one be allowed to enter my room. Despite this, housekeeping entered the room the very next day. When I returned, it appeared that my belongings had been disturbed again, which only increased my concerns about the security of the property.
Whether the amount stolen was €1 or €10,000 is irrelevant. Guests should be able to trust that their belongings are safe in their hotel room. For my first visit to Madrid, this was an extremely disappointing experience. The theft itself was bad enough, but the lack of accountability, communication and concern shown afterward was even more troubling. DO NOT STAY HERE!!!
If you're traveling for pleasure or business, this isn't the place for you: they don't offer basic hotel services, and the staff is incredibly unfriendly and even VERY rude.
I realized they operate as a student room rental service and want to treat you the same.
I paid for continental breakfast, and they had no idea what it included. When I requested the service I PAID FOR, the waiter/bartender threw things at me as if he was doing me a favor.
They don't offer a service to store your bags for 3-4 hours while your check in is available, like any hotel in the world. Although I can understand that, what I find unacceptable in general is the treatment of the staff, especially the hostess, Fiorella.
I don't recommend this place, and it leaves a very bad experience overall.
Super bien todo lo que hay disponible y todo está muy nuevo. Tienes en la habitacion para prepararte un cafe y algunos playos y cubiertos pero no hay para limpiar y no te los limpian. cuando fuimos a pedir nuevos ni nos dieron cosas para limpiar ni nuevas tazas. tampoco reemplazan el cafe, solo te lo dan para tu primera noche. por todo lo demás bien, aunque el servicio de desayuno (a pesar de que rico y muy bien) es muy lento y siempre se hacen colas.
Nuestra experiencia ha sido muy decepcionante y no volveremos, por la atención de RICARDO.
El día de nuestra salida hicimos el check-out antes de tiempo porque nuestro AVE salía horas después. Como hacía muchísimo calor, preguntamos en recepción si podíamos utilizar la piscina durante ese tiempo. El primer recepcionista fue muy amable, nos dijo que sí e incluso accedió a darnos unas toallas.
Sin embargo, cuando llegó su compañero RICARDO, todo cambió. Nos dijo que no podía darnos las toallas. Le propusimos subir a coger las nuestras de la habitación, ya que aún no era la hora de entregarla, y también se negó. Incluso ofrecimos pagarlas y la respuesta volvió a ser negativa. Mientras un compañero intentó ayudarnos, RICARDO solo puso impedimentos, sin ofrecer ninguna solución. Su trato fue muy desagradable y poco profesional.
Además, la relación calidad-precio es mala. Las habitaciones son muy pequeñas para el precio que tienen.
Ha sido un error cambiar de hotel esta vez. Siempre que viajamos a Madrid nos alojamos en Truliving Vallecas, donde las instalaciones son nuevas, el personal es atento y la relación calidad-precio es excelente. Esta vez decidimos probar este hotel y nos arrepentimos.
No volveremos nunca y no lo recomendamos.
Attenzione all apparenza albergo nuovo e funzionante …
In realtà un disastro
Camere piccole ed anguste
Letto comodo ma alla francese
0 connessione TV
Distanze rilevanti per mezzi centro commerciale e altro
Molto distante dal centro ma zona residenziale OK
personale nn sempre all altezza
NN C É POSSIBILITÀ DI AVERE ACQUA MINERALE IN ALBERGO CON IL BAR CHIUSO
COLAZIONE DA DOMENTICARE
UN DISASTRO
Väldigt obekväma sängar och ingen tillgång till deras aktivitetshus då vi var där under en kortare vistelse. Annars fint och rent. Saknade däremot möjligheten att kunna få frukostbuffé.
Las instalaciones y la habitación excepcionales ,todo muy bien y cerca de un gran centro comercial para ir andando 5 10 minutos .

O hotel é muito distante do centro, a equipe não é muito agradável e sobre arrumação e limpeza deixam a desejar..
Ficamos 11 dias hospedados neste hotel e fizeram arrumação no quarto somente 3 vezes. Muita poeira acumulada.
