We just spent six nights in a Jr Suite. We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay. The location is great, easy walk to the Prado, Botanical Garden, Reina Sofia Museum and Thyssen Museum. Reasonable walk through a charming historic neighborhood to Plaza Mayor etc. Cafe across from the hotel was great for outdoor nightcap.
Our room was very good. Bedroom was better than many standard hotel rooms. The bed was large (queen plus?) with plenty of space around it to move, decent size closet and separate built in drawers. Living room was comfortable for six people to socialize. Juliet balcony (large enough to stand on) looked down on small plaza and looking sideways down to the boulevard bordering the Prado and Botanical Garden.
Another reviewer wrote about a poor experience at breakfast, however our experience was the opposite. Buffet offerings included a variety of fresh fruit (kiwi, orange slices, pineapple, melons, etc.); bread (croissants, pain au chocolate, etc.); sliced meats (Iberian ham, other hams, smoked salmon etc.); various hot and cold cereals; pastries (apple tart etc.) as well as made to order eggs, including omelets, bacon, sausage. The staff for the breakfasts was outstanding. Very friendly, helpful and very efficient. We found the breakfasts to be exceptional.
Similarly, the front desk staff were very friendly, and knowledgeable. They recommended "Salmon Guru," a fantastic bar an easy walk from the hotel.
The only thing we found to be less than amazing was that the lobby was quite small. Big enough to wait to meet someone, but it did not invite lingering.
I cannot comment on price/value as this was part of a larger package booked through a Spanish travel agent.
En suite bathroom and half bath off the living room were clean, modern, spacious with excellent water pressure and temperature.
