Ávila Vacation Packages

A beautiful grand hotel. Old school in style and design yet clean and well maintained. Bathrooms even come with a shaving kit and toothpaste but no coffee in the room which was a small drawback for us. Situated on Madrid’s Gran Via, you have the best and worst of the location… it’s walking distance to everying including the palace, Plaza Mayor and the Prado. However, it’s also incredibly busy; sidewalks and streets are packed from dawn well into the evening and we heard the sounds of police/ambulance sirens almost every night. The cherry on top (literally on top) is the rooftop bar which made for a perfect spot for a drink after a day touring the sights.

When we arrived we were told that due to Spain national day all roads will be closed at 7 am and as we have flight out of Madrid that morning we requested that rather than checking out on October 12 we requested to check out on October 11 and requested that we get refund for the last night , we were told that as we reserved our stay through Expedia we needed to contact Expedia who said the decision was up to hotel and manager at hotel declined our request which forced us to check out very early that day . Our reservation initially was for 4 nights and should we were told of that issue we would have requested 3 nights instead I know hotels want to sell there rooms but I would have liked that They accommodate our request as this was out of our control Any way our stay was pleasant and the hotel is excellent as facility

This apartment had everything a family with young kids can ask for. We booked the 2 bedroom apartment (with an additional sofa bed in the living room), traveling with an infant and a toddler. The living room was extremely spacious and well designed. Kitchen and bathrooms were fully stocked, extra towels and endless pillows available in closet. The daily cleaning offered by Hyatt was a godsend. The bedrooms were very sound proof and luxurious with lots of amenities. The only thing I didn't love was that the 2nd bedroom had a single bed, which was not ideal for co sleeping with toddler. The location is in a nice neighborhood but it's a 15 min transit to the central tourist areas/sites to see, and a several minutes walk to local restaurants. So if you're traveling with young kids, be prepared with a stroller and carrying kids for several minutes as you navigate transit. We did find the transit stations such as the metro and the bus to be quite accessible for the stroller. It helps to have the tap to pay with credit card option. Kids under 4 ride free (as of writing of this review).

The place was spacious, tastefully decorated and well appointed. The location was unbelievable, walkable to lots of good restaurants, cafes and local attractions. Will definitely stay there again if we’re back in Madrid. Highly recommend it!!!
