Pros: Nice multi-lingual staff, central location, nice rooms, clean, offers a deal for the in-house restaurant and breakfast buffet (50% off) upon arrival, and it's a good deal for what you get.
Cons: Mattresses aren't the best, not exactly sound proof rooms, lack of cabs, spotty wi-fi.
Okay, under my "Cons", there wasn't a lack of cabs in the area, but...
Maybe it's my spoiled American nature, but I have never been to a hotel who didn't hail a cab for patrons who are departing for the airport. Wait. It's not my spoiled American nature because every hotel I've been in Europe, Asia, and North America has done so! We didn't lack for cabs, but this was just bizarre. Heck, the last Madrid hotel I was in not only got a cab for my family, but they bellman gave the cab the instructions in English (I speak Spanish, so I know there was no funny dealings going on :-p).
Apart from the cab issue at the end of our trip, the staff here was friendly and accommodating.
All-in-all, this is a good value hotel and worth a try, but next time I'm in Madrid, I'll probably try somewhere else.
