9/10 Wonderful! (739 reviews)

We stayed for over a week in the middle of August, and it was the greatest, most convenient location, lodging, and service. The staff were all incredibly kind and accommodating. The place and rooms were clean and the cleaning staff was very detailed and thorough. I certainly plan on staying here every time I go back to Madrid.
