8.5Verified guest“Almost everything was perfect. The location was ideal for the museums, city center, Sol, the Anton Martin metro, and Atocha station. The street was lively with cafes and restaurants. The room was very clean, nice, and convenient, even though it was small — I was offered a larger one but preferred my own. It had a bath and air conditioning. The staff were friendly, and I loved the place.”
