Spacious, modern apartments
These self-catering apartments receive largely excellent reviews, with the majority of previous guests satisfied with their stay and the accommodation provided.

Negative Reviews
negative:
Be prepared for noise
Previous guests warn that the area in which the apartments are located can be a little noisy, which could disturb light sleepers in particular. It is worth noting that this is the nature of most accommodation in central Madrid, where the nightlife and dining scene runs in full swing until late at night.
negative:
Unreliable Wi-Fi
A number of previous guests mention the lack of signal strength offered through the free Wi-Fi at this hotel, which those who travelled for business in particular found to be an inconvenience.
negative:
Cramped when using sofa beds
Those guests who travelled in groups and therefore required the use of the sofa bed found space in the apartment to be rather tight, with little room to move about once the sofa was unfolded.
