Room Mate Alicia, Madrid

On check in we had a few area questions and the receptions spent time to get us up to speed. VERY HELPFUL! Our room exceeded our high expectations for size, cleanliness, amenities, … and the location was exactly where we wanted to be…in a central, interesting part of Madrid, with historic attractions, and world renown museums nearby. Everything is walkable distance.

My husband and I stayed here twice during our honeymoon trip to Spain. First, March 19-23, the room with the green blanket. Then we went to Granada for 2 nights. The hotel kept our big suitcases in a locked room behind their desk. Upon our return we were in a slightly better room for March 25-29. You can't beat the Las Letras location. We took a few taxis in the rain but otherwise walked nearly everywhere in Madrid. Partially because it's flat and lovely and we were in a good location, but also because the metro isn't handy compared to Barcelona's. Anyway, the hotel was really good. Comfortable beds, good water pressure and temperature, even if the in-room setup is odd for Americans. We had a good amount of outlets, were able to hook up a Switch and laptop to the TV (we brought an HDMI cable) and barely heard any street noise. We did use their laundry service once (in addition to a few sink pieces on our own) for $100 and it was nearly same day and nicely done. The front desk staff helped us find the very close farmacia when we both had colds, there's also multiple breakfast places, sushi, and gelato literally around the corner. We would stay here again! Stay 1: Hotels.com for US $765, booked in December 2024 Stay 2: Direct with Room Mate for $841 but pay on arrival, also booked in Dec 2024

The room looked nice but there were no logical place to hang towels. I also did not like that the toilet was separate to the place where to wash the hands. The hotel did not have any gym or bar and the breakfast felt a little bit 'low effort'. However, service was very friendly and nice. Room cleaning was top and location as well

Room Mate Alicia is the perfect location for people who enjoy walking everywhere. We were able to see all the major sites of Madrid within easy walking distance. The area felt safe and there are countless restaurants nearby.|Our room was very clean, comfortable and quiet and the front desk staff were always helpful and pleasant. The shower was very good with good water pressure and plenty of hot water.|I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel and if we return to Madrid, this is where we would stay.

We arrived and we’re greeted by a very lovely hospitable staff. No complaints. However, there is construction next-door, which you will see pictures. We were originally on the fourth floor with a better view of the square and then we were demoted to the second floor with a view of the building being worked on and a little piece of the square.. The location of this hotel is perfect. Unfortunately, there’s renovations of building next to it and they have no control for that. If you’re going to book with roommate, Alicia check to see if the construction next-door is still going on.

We spent 6 nights at Hotel Alicia. The staff were amazing. Very attentive and incredibly helpful with offering suggestions for restaurants that were not the tourist traps. The only drawback was that we came in late fall and the AC was turned, so the rooms were HOT. Even then the staff were very quick to help us with a fan when we asked. Thank you!!!

Friendly helpful staff, we received a warm welcome, and the receptionist gave us lots of tips, how to get around! The room was a corner room was quite small but met our needs for a long weekend. Lots of storage space for luggage clothes, toilet and shower were small. The beds and pillows were so comfortable!!! The room was spotless clean, small mini bar. Good air-conditioning. We got the breakfast one morning, good value @€11 coffee juices breads pastries fruit, scrambled eggs bacon, cheeses. Again helpful staff.| |Hotel has a brilliant location easy to walk to Mayor Square, shopping, Palace etc.|Again check out was very efficient, helpful we stored bags and staff offered to organise a taxi. |Only recommendation- would try to make the internal courtyard look nicer a few plants tiles as we left the blind down when in the room, TV with wifi to get other channels. |Overall we really enjoyed our stay ☺️ and would highly recommend.

Amazing location, walked everywhere! The people who work here were so very nice!! The rooms made great use of space and were comfortable. Would definitely come again.

I've slept with all four of the Madrid Room Mates - Mario, Laura, Alicia, Oscar - and I've enjoyed them so much I don't see much of a reason to go anywhere else when I'm in the Spanish capital. Alicia is quite possibly the best of the Room Mates in Madrid - she's well located in the Santa Ana plaza (not far from the Barrio de las Letras), her rooms are nicely appointed and as I've come to expect with this hotel group: her wifi's free, her rates are affordable and her staff is helpful. Room Mate Alicia is an excellent bet for the savvy traveler in search of a boutique hotel at a budget price in the heart of Madrid.

Looking for someone to sleep with in Madrid? Alicia (or her friends Oscar, Laura or Mario) are happy to oblige. And trust me, her price is right. Roommate Hotel Alicia really had it all. The location was fantastic right outside Plaza Santa Ana and a 5 minute walk from Plaza Mayor and Plaza Del Sol. The price was more than reasonable. The wifi was fast and free, as it should be. The staff was super friendly and helpful. And it must be said - there was one of the best music TV stations that payed everything from Brittney to Blind Melon to Beyonce to Blues Traveler. The mystery of what would be up next really added that cherry on top. Whether you're a baller on a budget or you only sleep in boutique beauties, Roomate Alicia won't disappoint.

Room Mate Alicia is hot. Every bit as hot as the naked cartoon woman in the moving art in the lobby. Is that Alicia? I like her! The good: -Location -Location -Location -Stylish, cute -Very accommodating staff sweetly answered every question and gave us a nice late check out after a late night in Madrid. -View of square and street from my room. -Happily let us borrow boiling water device for room to make coffee. -Great value The (not so) bad: -Hated the floors in my room. Made of rubbery, plastic material. Cheap. -Not luxury by any stretch. Basic. -No privacy while showering, so be comfortable with your room mate! I'd stay here again anytime. I walked to the palace, shops, restaurants, clubs, bars, and Retiro Park. Another note on Madrid- it's a vibrant city, felt safe, full of beauties, and it really doesn't stay open ALL night unless at a discotheque. Everything else pretty much slows down around midnight.

Found this place through a recommendation by the lovely Laura N. It isn't as fancy as the website would suggest but overall I was really happy with our stay. Fantastic location, really close to everything central. Simple reservation process online and they offered a deal including breakfast on the site. This was typically European breakfast fare, mostly breads, cheese and meat. Bit lacking in the fruit department but that seems symptomatic of the whole of Madrid. What was really welcomed was that they stayed serving up to noon, so you can sleep in, laze about and still get your brunch on. The room was a little smaller than you might like but really very adequate with a desk, twin beds and a decent sized shower. You could probably have gotten a few people in there with you. They also didn't tack on any bullshit extras, like paying for the safe or internet. Free wifi = happy Linzi!

Awesome and contemporary hotel. I'm more of a traditional girl but this place is super trendy. B
