"Good train stop if arriving late or leaving early. Convenience is handy after a long tired day of traveling. Convenient restaurant so you don’t even have to go out if you are not up to it. Good place to unwind and regroup after busy travel day. Staff helpful as booked a 315am taxi to airport and driver was waiting at front desk. A bit expensive but worry free as I was traveling alone and older ! Worth it !"

"Excelente todo ame este hotel y su comida"

"Is a beautiful hotel, and the breakfast is excellent…."

"Looked at a bunch of different hotels in the area this one was perfect! Middle ground to walking to a lot of different areas and spots. Hotel was very clean, staff was very nice and helpful! We had an amazing time!"

"The staff are first rate. Due to no fault of the hotel night work was carried out right next to our window and on the second night of our stay. A crane was employed all night with the construction lighting impacting the room even with curtains drawn. The noise of the crane and the loud conversations continued all night. I think a hotel’s worth is measured in how they respond. When reported at check out they apologised and immediately waived the cost of breakfast for our stay. We will absolutely return to this hotel for its breakfast service and wonderful top floor bar and tapas. This is an hotel that values its guests."

"My only complaints would be with communication. The front desk explained to us that we would have a two for one breakfast buffet promotion. We had breakfast at the buffet one day but not the next day. They never told us the promotion was only valid if we had the buffet both days. Do we got charged full price. There didn’t seem to be any language barrier as the person at the desk spoke English quite well. The room was decent and clean. The safe did not work at all and the tv volume wasn’t very good. Otherwise, the stay was decent."

"Staff is very helpful and friendly. Lots of restraunts and other amenities around"

"We had an amazing experience during our stay at Innside by Melia.Amazing Hotel with best staff.Highly recommend."

"Great location near the main train and bus station and key museums Prado, Queen Sofia and Thysenn-B…. Great place, w elevators, 4 bunk with shared br was great - comfortable, clean. Basement has tables, kettle and microwave, (breakfast at attached bistro for 9 euros;) Tuesday night was an open mic type event with 6 musician s and bar. Towels for rent. Definitely a return place."
