It always helps when your room is upgraded when you arrive! Lovely room, very clean and comfortable. The rooftop pool and bar is a fantastic addition and well run, we enjoyed an afternoon up there when it was too hot to be walking around sight-seeing. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Location is perfect - central to just about everything and with great restaurants within easy walking distance. Would stay again if in Madrid again.
