5Was very pleased with my stay at this hotel; my family and I had booked for a long weekend and were v.impressed with both the location of the hotel and the internal decor (as well as the price of the stay may I add). It is very modern, v.clean and the rooms are of a good size. A few things on the downside - the walls are paper thin, the ladder on the bunkbeds was a tad unstable so no good for boisterous young children (say, under 6) and, for a family, there is not enough storage. On the plus, the staff were very efficient, the free internet access is a plus along with the satellite access on the tv (sad, but true)!
I must add though, contrary to the hotel's details, the hotel is not 5 minutes by car from the airport, more like 20 minutes and that was with a clear road, and the free shuttle - which was excellent especially when you have a 6am pick-up time - only picks up/drops off at the airport, nowhere else.
The metro station is about a 5-10 minute walk - good - and there are a few restaurants about 3 minutes walk away - which you wouldn't know if you didn't ask!
There are about 4 playgrounds right in front of the hotel which is great for young children and a bonus after you've done a day's walking round the sites of Madrid for the children to wind down before retiring back to your room.
I would definitely recommend this hotel.
