Excellent City Hotel Experience

fantastic location premium room short walk public transport

The location is fantastic, just steps from Plaza de España. The hotel upgraded me to a Premium room on arrival. I found the Royal Palace is only a short walk away and near Parque de la Montana. It makes the area safe! The proximity to everything meant I rarely needed public transport.

The club behind the hotel played very loud music. This noise continued past 4 AM. This loud music disturbed my sleep.
