    The location was excellent - close to transport, shops, cafes and restaurants. The staff were very helpful with luggage and getting a taxi for the airport. The buffet breakfast was good, but not excellent.

    Location was perfect, right in the middle of everything. Very convenient. But the hotel is still nice and quiet, so you can relax inside despite the masses of people walking by on Gran Via. Service was excellent, we organised a couple of tours...
