Carabias Vacations from $1,222

The hotel Bar and facilities are really great and they have aged super well, a great place to say in Madrid

Clean room, perfect location! Breakfast was a bit disappointing, the bathroom was quite small, and sometimes smelled like sewage. But overall was very conveniently located. Staff could have been friendlier. Good price for what you get especially with the perfect location. Rooftop pool was nice, gorgeous views of the city from the room floor and the rooftop. The patio was also a great add, very spacious and a great spot to hang out.

The friendliest and most helpful staff!

We were only there overnight to catch an early morning flight, too early for the breakfast. Staff was nice, bed comfortable, nice shower and towels. They also delivered the pillow type of our choice, which was nice. The location was helpful since we needed to depart to the airport before shuttles started running. Cons: Dark bunker room has seen a lot of use. It's truly a convenience choice for crazy flight times, and you pay plenty for the privilege. Since it was around $400 to stay there, it would have been nice to receive a couple of complementary waters and snacks. Everything in the mini bar was charged airport prices. The other con is that because it's located it's outside of security, we were unable to go to some of the better terminal restaurants without a bunch of rigaramole since our flight didn't leave until the next morning. We ended up eating at an overpriced and shipped-in-catering in a Paul's which is a nice chain at say, the Bordeaux train station, somewhere where the staff has some hand in preparation. This was airport meh, and a waste of money. We would have packed something from San Sebastian to eat had we known. Useful-yes. These places exist for a purpose, and I respect that. Will I avoid crazy flights that end up calling for something like this? Yes

Overall the apartment has a great layout, tons of storage. One concern I have about unit #201 specifically are the bathrooms. Each bathroom has a window that faces into the back area of the building. Neither window has a privacy film or curtain to obscure individuals in the near by hotel stairwell from looking in (and recording).
