"We stayed in the Arenal Suite, which has a wonderful wraparound balcony with several seating areas, so there is always a spot in the shade."

“I see a boutique property that stands out for its location in Madrid, a perfect starting point to discover the city's cultural scene. However, some rooms may suffer from noise issues, and space can be a constraint; it's worth considering a room upgrade for a more comfortable experience. Overall, I would recommend it for travelers who prioritize being in the heart of the action.”
