“The room was incredible and outstanding, with a balcony and a good bathroom, plus baby-sized beds. Service was as expected – good.”

7.9Verified guest

“Very clean, very quiet, and very adequate – exceptional for budget accommodations. The room had a good-size plasma TV, a private bathroom, and comfortable beds. Decor was quite nice. Other hotels with the same rating were much pricier in the area. Staff were exceptionally nice. The location is excellent – a metro station a few yards away, Plaza Mayor and Sol within minutes walking, and restaurants and a theatre just steps away.”
