Barceló Torre de Madrid
I love this hotel, is close to everything and also you walk outside and there is a train station to go everywhere. The hotel was very clean, I had a good streets view and the staff was very friendly always happy to help. I took the train to go to the airport, to the Real Madrid stadium and more places ...

Hotel Liabeny
Quarto de tamanho bom, após ser aceito um upgrade com diferença a pagar, mas o problema do quarto acabou sendo forte odor de esgoto exalado do banheiro. Café da manhã com bem pouca opções no buffet. Ponto forte a localização, além da limpeza em geral.
