Tryp Diana - Madrid, Spain 

"Best deal for an airport hotel"
Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009
I really don't understand the negative reviews. The Tryp Diana is the nearest hotel to the airport. It is located in a residental neighborhood with a handful of shops and bars and restaurants within walking distance. Inside the hotel it self, I noted 8 eateries, bars and one night club. The bar across from the newstand was inexpensive and the quality of product as good as any upscale taverna in Madrid. Both of my stays within a 3 week period were very enjoyable. Both of my rooms were clean and comfortable. Not to mention the bathrooms in both of my rooms were the newest most modern I've seen in Europe. Overall experince was better then most and didn't cost an arm and a leg.

Effiecient hotel for a work trip

I needed a hotel close to both the airport and the conference centre at short notice and this hotel had a room. I can understand some of the comments regarding the 4* not being worthy and if your trip was for leisure then I am not sure you would be happy however for a business trip it was fine. The reception staff were helpful, the choice of food/bars were extensive, I did not feel intimidated at any time being a lone woman, it was very quick and easy to get online in the room and the breakfast was standard Spanish 'fodder' - which I like. I cannot find fault with anything about my stay but I do agree with the 'looking tired' comments of other reviewers. If I have paid the cost of the night I would have been disappointed with the overall quality feel of the hotel. However I would not hestitate to stay here again if attending FITUR or travelling for business.

Noisy and smoky

You expect noise in Spain, but not in a hotel of this standard. Noisy plumbing meant being woken up every time someone in a room above used the bathroom. And there are FIVE restaurants / cafes in the hotel. But only ONE is non-smoking. Don't rely on the free shuttle bus to get you to the airport in time. At times there are too many passengers and you have to wait for it to do the rounds and come back.
