Dining & Bar

The on-site restaurant serves a modern approach to local Spanish food, and a cocktail bar is open daily. Breakfast is a buffet with diverse options, including fresh fruits and hot dishes. Room service is available for meals and snacks.

“In my opinion, this adults-only hotel captures Madrid's exuberant spirit, particularly its embrace of LGBTQ+ culture, that feels inviting to all. The location in the Barrio de las Letras places one in the heart of the action. I think the rooftop sky bar, accessible year-round, is the place to be.”

Mixed Feelings

gym noise noisy environment
My room seemed to face the interior. It was quite noisy due to activity in the central area. The music and general noise made it difficult to relax during the day. The gym noise was particularly disruptive. It was a letdown.

The room was wonderful! everyone at reception was kind. i appreciated how friendly everyone in the hotel was. The hotel has a good location especially if you want to be close to plaza mayor. It's only around a ten minute walk away! there is also a metro stop a few minutes away.
The rooms are really dark. The flow in the shower is weak and the water is cold.
