Central in Madrid
Very nice staff! Shower could probably fit four people.
A bit confusing electronic control panel for lights, curtains and windows. Stone floor that was rather cold.

A very different hotel, very original. Very good value for money.
The different style in which is decorated every floor. The room, the bed size, the originality. The breakfast is excellent.
Some noises during the night. The pillows are too hard and big.

Fashionable and trendy.
The hotel is different, you experience contemporary luxury with a bit of out of the box ambiance and surrounding.
Concierge desk is not very well equipped to advice foreign travelers on how to utilize their stay in the hotel and around the city “a bit of language challenge if you don’t speak Spanish”a

good for short stays
Nice and clean hotel. Nice and kind hotel staff.
Breakfast was not much selection (at least not at all a 5 star level), and for that 30 euro/person is quite expensive. There was no room slippers provided, would have been useful as there is any carpet, and floor was cold.

Brilliant location beside metro. Very clean and well maintained. Rooms very spacious and modern. Good choice at breakfast. Lovely outdoor area.
Breakfast was supposed be till 10.30 but we were told it was closing at 10.30 so we were rushed. Couldn't control lighting in room? Rooftop observatory was closed.

The design of the hotel is unusual. The view from the window is beautiful. Breakfast is very tasty and varied. The room itself where breakfast is held is cozy.
There were no detergents of any kind in the room and no hair dryer. I had to talk about this twice at the reception desk. The beds in the room reminded me of a hospital bed.

Glad we stayed, would stay again. Thank you
The area where it was located was very convenient especially as taxis were located near. The view of our room was amazing. The coffee, teas, and complimentary water was great.
My husband hit his foot about 4 times at bed corner. Tub/shower didn’t drain fast.

Really nice hotel with cool interior, felt like a space shuttle. Staff was really nice. Metro station also close.
Interior!!
Carpets should be cleaned/changed

Ok, but too expensive for the room we've got
The location was excellent for visiting Madrid, with the metro very close to the hotel and two lines that take you anywhere in the city. The hotel staff was also very helpful.
The room wasn’t quite up to standard. There was a stain on the carpet, humidity marks on the bathroom door, and a broken mirror in the toilet. The sliding shower doors didn’t work properly, and there was no toilet brush available.

Nice hotel for work purposes
Nice big rooms, great bathroom facilities. Transport via metro is quite close.
Lighting controls in the room are strange and no ambient lighting or reading lamps. The room was very hot on arrival and took some time to cool once the air conditioning was set. Ensuring blinds/curtains are down during the day would help keep rooms cool before guests arrive. Breakfast was mediocre and the mushrooms tasted very vinegary, which was odd.

Location was convenient. A quick walk to the airport shuttle and close to the subway. Not right in the center of town but convenient to the neighborhoods we were visiting. We liked the room. It was a cool design. Especially the shower though the controls were a little hard to figure out. Room was spacious and big for a European hotel.
Would have been nice to have a water heater or coffee/tea in the room.

Absolutely loved the room, it was a fabulous experience.

Very Unique Stay
We are photographers and seeing each separate floor designed by a different architect was great. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Our beds were really comfy.
It’s a bit of a way from central Madrid although serviced by nearby metro stops. The water in the shower seemed to pool on top so I was always having to slosh it off. And the food options were a bit limited although always tasty.

Always stay in this hotel in Madrid
The view of the city, the breakfast ( high quality), the cleaning and the quiet

Exceptional design of every floor.
Is far from the city center. Zaha Hadid’s room has really unique design but not really comfortable for long staying, not a single horizontal surface.

Staff very friendly. Good facilities. Great breakfast. Nice location away from touristic areas
Had to ask for another room as the first one was dirty. But done quickly, no fuss

Great breakfast, unique design, most staff not 5 star trained. Dissapointing observatory closed.
Uniquely designed hotel, very clean, great breakfast choice
Most staff indifferent and unwelcoming apart from trainee lady on reception at checkout, very polite, can't remember her name, porters/ door colleagues very polite and helpful.

Amazing - would definitely come back!
The hotel was in a good location, 2 minutes walk from the metro and the hotel itself was an amazing unique design. Each floor had its own design and it was a great experience. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the features in the rooms were also great! I must say Sergio, the night receptionist was amazing - from every interaction he was so helpful and friendly! The whole staff at the hotel were lovely and the breakfast was great too!
There was nothing in particular we didn’t like. I would say it was just a shame due to closure we couldn’t experience the rooftop bar but other than that I think the overall hotel was lovely.

we had the zaha hadid room. the room was very spacious and unique. the staff were pleasant.
the chair in the room was too hard no other comfy place to sit other than the bed but this is minor

Loved the concept of the hotel and rooms. Lovely staff and safe area. Food was OK.
Location was perfect for us as we were close by to friends in the area. If we did want to go into town it was only a 20 min uber ride (or less) as we went during the quiet month of August.
The rooftop isn't open during August and it wasn't stated to us at all until we asked. Perhaps it should be made clear when checking in to manage expectations

A hotel full of design, but not 5-star worthy.
It is really a design hotel to at least take as an experience of immersing into the world of the best interior designers where every single floor is decorated by a different renowned designer. So the best thing about the hotel are the brave and creative rooms you cannot find anywhere else.
It has had its best days in the past and you can see it being outdated in various areas. It is an OK hotel, but definitely not 5-stars in todays standards.

Nice
Cool architecture of the room. Good value for money. Clean rooms. Good food at the hotel restaurant. Amazing views of Madrid from the 11th Floor.
Not having a separate Bathroom. The shower was in the room. Lighting was not really suitable for the room.

No sauna, for a 5 starts hotel I feel some facilities are missing. Also the doors were very loud at night
16 July 2024
Fabulous
the location, the design, the cleanliness
the zaha hadid floor (the back side, not the one to the street) is right next to lobby’s air conditioning which is noisy and almost completely disrupts the view. the reception staff needed a lot of time to answer simple requirements or questions, we had to wait a much longer time to switch the rooms then what they promised.

Beautiful design but facilities could be better
We stayed in one of the Zaha Hadid designed rooms, which was beautiful. The bed was very comfortable and staff were helpful.
The services could have been better for a 5 star hotel. We expected to be able to use the hotel facilities such as the rooftop bar and swimming pool however the rooftop bar was not open on the days we were there and the pool was only open from noon to 7pm. The bar that was open closed at 11.30pm which seemed very early for a hotel bar.
6 July 2024
Great! Would recommend
Unique
Location, so far from Madrid centre. I dic not like the charge of 50 euros each day that would be paid back at close of the stay based on any incidental’s incurred at the bar etc. expenses should be paid as you go or settled at the end of the stay.

Pleasant
It was a very nice facility.
I requested 2 beds in the room since I was traveling with my son. He arrived the night before I did. I was quite disappointed on arrival to find out that there was only one bed in the room and there was no private shower. It was quite awkward. No effort was made to offer another room.

Definitely worth a visit
Cool design, very friendly staff.
Swimming pool opens only at 12pm, so no option to chill/swim in the morning.

Great hotel for the value!
The room was cute and had ample space for two people with a big bathroom ( loved the shower options and the water pressure). The beds are very comfortable and everything was very clean.
Location - not very close to anything.
