Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Rooms can feel dated — Some guests found the apartments a bit old, and a few mentioned rooms needing improvement, particularly in terms of decor or condition.
- Occasional noise from renovations — Construction in neighbouring rooms can cause some disturbance during the day, though staff try to keep it low-impact.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, which could be a limitation for travellers wanting to bring their animal companions.

7.9Verified guest“Location and price were both excellent for families. The apartments are a bit dated but clean, though some rooms need updates. There's self-service laundry on the floor, parking nearby, and you can order breakfast to your room. The first room smelled of smoke, which was a problem for my daughter with allergies, but the staff switched us as soon as a room opened, even though they were nearly full.”
7.9Verified guest“Tidy place, with a competent team on the next shift. The units are a good size and recently renovated, with twin beds, a dishwasher, and a microwave.”
7.9Verified guest“Everything was neat, and the staff on the later shift were capable. The venue is in a practical business area, very close to downtown and many shops. It's also near Al-Mounia, where you can have lunch.”
7.9Verified guest“The location is great, and the quality-to-price ratio is very good.”
7.9Verified guest“I asked for early check-in at 9am and was told 1pm, but when we arrived tired from a long flight from Tokyo, they let us in around 11am—that was so nice. There are also plenty of tapas spots and restaurants just around the corner; a great area to eat out.”
7.9Verified guest“This is my second stay at this apartment hotel—first time was with my family and it was excellent, so I returned for my last days in Madrid. The reception has been fully renovated, making it very welcoming. Staff are friendly from start to finish. My room was large, spotless, and bright. The floor attendants do a great job cleaning. There was some noise from construction in the next room, but they were working delicately to minimise disruption, and as someone in the sector, I understand. The location is unbeatable—2-3 minutes' walk to Cibeles and Plaza de Colón, and any part of the city is reachable with a short stroll. A train station and bus stop are right outside. Excellent value for such a central spot, suitable for families, individuals, or couples. I've found my Madrid hotel—congratulations to the team, and looking forward to the next visit.”
