"I definitely recommend the rooms that have a view to La Gran Via. Even though you can hear all the noises of a big city, (such as when you stay at a hotel in New York, in the center of the city) in my case the view of the life in Madrid is priceless. There are 3 bathrooms per floor, they were always very clean and well maintained. There are no amenities except for body gel and shampoo. The shower has hot water, I tried to make sure to use the shower at non-peak times. The bed is comfortable enough (again, balancing the good location over a little bit less comfort) but it was good enough for a 4 night stay. The room specifically 401 had a good space and a great view. The street noises did not bother me, because I knew I was going to be in the middle of the city, it is actually in the middle of La Gran Via; but if you are someone who has light sleep, you might want to consider rooms in the back. There are several kitchenettes on every floor, almost one kitchenette outside every room. The staff was very friendly. They don’t change the bed or the towels unless you ask for it. I enjoyed my stay mainly because of the location of this place, and the size of the room, which for Europe is very well appreciated. I would recommend it if you are not bothered by the city noises and can manage to have a bathroom outside your room."
