A massive blackout hit the whole Spain when we stayed here so definitely a trip to remember. Special thanks to David who was working the blackout night and stayed level-headed and helpful despite doing a lot of running up and down the stairs to get guests in their rooms. Also thank you for taking a photo of us, aka The Chic & The Basic :) The blackout kind of steals the spotlight here – pun intended – but overall, this small hotel has a friendly staff, nice design, cool room layout, and the location really couldn’t be better. It’s very much in the middle of the middle, right between Gran Via and Sol, just a few steps off the busy Preciados walking street. Despite this, no street noise reached the room. Wouldn’t mind going back the next time in Madrid. (We now have a proven record of finding the place even when it’s dark.)
