The staff were very attentive and ready to serve and accommodate any needs, the rooms were very clean, breakfast was absolutely amazing with vast verity of options and the bar was cozy and comfortable.
We had an amazing stay at this hotel! It had all the amenities we were looking for and more! Staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Breakfast was spectacular! We will definitely stay here when we come back to Madrid.
The property was very well located close to many stores and restaurants. Staff was very helpful. The rain head shower was amazing.. I would say that the only drawback is the lack of more lighting in the room.
It’s the second time I’ve stayed in this hotel and I don’t regret it. The rooms are warm and spacious. The quality of the main restaurant is not great but if you are in Madrid, you always eat somewhere else.
EXCELLENT HOTEL IN SALAMANCA AT ALL LEVELS...ROOMS ARE A BIT SMALL AND LIGHTING IN ROOMS CAN BE IMPROVED...OTHERWISE, WALKING FRIENDLY, TAXI ALWAYS AVAILABLE, CLOSE TO AIRPORT, GREAT SHOWER, NICE ROOFTOP FOR A SMALL DRINK BEFORE SLEEPING
Such a beautiful stay i enjoyed the room was so comfortable and clean! Best thing was they always had taxis outside ready for you! And dont get me started on the mint and lemon water they had for guest especially on a hot day coming from the outside in!
