Comfortable hotel, good breakfast spread, nice and quiet neighborhood. NOT near the center of town, if that matters to you. More like a convention hotel.... If you don't mind a short walk to the Pio XII Metro station, this is the place to stay. The Colombia Metro (different line from Pio XII) is just another block or so more, and it's a direct line to the Airport. (€2.50 one way). ROOM PROS: Windows open, which is important since one of the ROOM CONS is that the heat can't really be controlled. Another ROOM PRO is the double-shower-head situation in the shower. Very comfortable. Unfortunately, our room had a CON in that the shower leaked all over the floor every time due to the instability of the glass partition "attached" to the tub and the floor drain was on the other side of the bathroom. Another ROOM PRO that we enjoyed was the in-room safe and the easy-to-use free Wi-Fi. One CON for me was the rock-hard mattress, but this was a PRO for my spouse...so they'll cancel each other out. We traveled by train, so the parking situation is unknown. The breakfast spread was great. Food was tasty, variety was good. If you want to get your own food, there's a supermarket down the street, with restaurants a few blocks more. The in-room fridge is big enough to keep supplies, and free bottles of water are provided daily. We would definitely stay here again next time in Madrid. Close proximity to the Chamartin train station (with access to Cercanías and RENFE trains) made daytripping very easy to El Escorial, Avila, Segovia, and more. Get a 10-ride Metro ticket and save some money coming and going from this hotel. Staff was VERY friendly every time we came and went. :) Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Nov 21, 2011
