Very pleased with my stay at this hotel, which was recommended to me by a friend who lives in Madrid.
Located in a great section of Madrid--Salamanca--in an upscale neighborhood with high end shopping and great restaurants nearby. Not as touristy as Chueca, Plaza Mayor and Gran Via but still close enough and within walking distance to the major attractions such as the museums and Parque Retiro.
I have an oversized room with 2 closets, a large patio with furniture and a modern bathroom (rain shower with jacuzzi option). Nice cabinetry with refrigerator and tableware discreetly stored. The supplied toiletries (soap, etc) could use a bit of an upgrade.
This is not a full service hotel--no gym, no lobby bar (though Gingko Restaurant is attached to the property), no gift shop but you are not paying for those amenities here and the price at VP Jardin is quite reasonable compared to other hotels in the area and Madrid.
The front staff is excellent, speaks English, and is very helpful. The entrance area is minimal and slightly dated but the rooms are more than adequate, nicely furnished and more like an apartment. Very comfortable bed.
I would definitely stay here again on a return visit.
