Below expectations
Worse than expected, but there were positive sides as well. The Ático restaurant is good value. The terrace for drinks is nice. However, the bathroom feels a bit cramped. The shower is good. The cleaning service was really slow and without much extras for turn down service. There is no refrigerator in the room. Location is the main plus, even if we would choose another location and hotel on our next trip to Madrid. Service is below what you expect. Another annoying thing is that the pool was closed down already the first week of October.
