Spent 6 nights over Christmas at the Generator Madrid. Great place and fantastic location, would highly recommend if looking for accommodation in Madrid.
Travelling with my daughter, so we had a twin private room and ensuite. Everything was just as described.
We ate in the dining area a couple of times, very convenient and prices were very good. Had their breakfast once, wasn’t for us, pretty basic but probably expected. There are plenty of options near by, plus a supermarket pretty much across the road.
We also used the washing machine and dryers as we were travelling for 6 weeks. Very handy and well priced.
