Urban Hotel

Great experiencie Bed is too small for this category of hotel and the mattress is not good The rest of the room is excellent Love the deco!

The hotel staff is friendly, professional, and incredibly helpful. It's impossible to single out anyone. From the time the doorman opened the front door, every single person we encountered there went out of the way to make sure we were well taken care off. The hotel interior is striking, a contemporary place filled with antique artifacts from Southeast Asian and Oceania. Our room on the fourth floor was not large, but the design was thoughtful and well-sized. There was enough closet and drawer space for more than a day's stuff, although since my wife was staying another five days for a professional conference, we could have used a little more.

First, the location is terrific. The Prado and Thyssen museums are a 3 minute walk down the street, and Ritero Park is three blocks past the Prado. Around the corner is El Rincón de Esteban one of the best dining experiences we've ever had. A block or two more and you're wandering through the Madrid of narrow streets and local shops and bars that seem almost totally free of tourists.

The hotel interior is striking a contemporary place filled with antique artifacts from Southeast Asian and Oceania (look to your left at the desk at the five foot tall figures from Papua NG). Our room on the fourth floor was not large, but the design was thoughtful and (once we had out empty suitcases taken down to storage), well-sized. There was enough closet & drawer space for more than a week's stuff (although since my wife was staying another five days for a professional conference, we could have used a little more). We never heard any street noise, and the drapes kept the room dark, as we discovered when we overslept until late morning the first day. We even had an 18th century I think gold Buddha in our room. Even though we were across the hall from the elevator, we never heard a voice, or any noise, for that matter. We didn't eat in the hotel, and breakfast was a bit too pricey for our taste but their restaurant just earned a Michelin star. Tip you have to ask for refills on the coffee cups if they aren't replaced by housekeeping.

great location
