Check in: not very friendly. Rude front desk service. Called about our rooms and the agent couldn’t understand what we asked and rudely hung up the phone. I booked 3 rooms and would have expected better assistance. All 3 rooms were different. One room was upgraded but the other 2 were standard and one was much smaller/less spacious. Decorative pillows look cheap and poor quality. No toiletries. Nothing inside the fridge. Bathroom was not cleaned well. There was a ball of hair in the shower. Breakfast: chaotic, rushed, got up from table to grab coffee and my table was immediately cleaned up with food and juice still at table. Felt like we were in a cruise ship. Not at all what we expected for a 4 star hotel. Seems like this hotel is more focused on the rooftop experience than the client experience. Will not be staying there again and will not recommend it.

This is a landmark property in Madrid, so it was a unique experience in that sense. It's been thoroughly modernized, and the thick outside windows do an incredible job of keeping the street noise completely out. It is a huge facility, so the breakfast buffet was the equivalent length of a football field, though distributed in multiple stations, so all the options seemed close. The quality of the food was also first rate, and everything was freshly cooke (no pans of tepid eggs sitting under a hot light for hours). On the othe other hand, the size of the pool was not commensurate to the number of people around it. The views, though, were spectacular. Also, if we hadn't had to catch an early flight, we definitely would have spent some night time in the beautiful 27th story terrace (definitely a dress up venue). We dod a quick walk through, and it was impressive.

Checking in is absolutely horrid. This hotel actually does not allow you access to your room until the actual 3:00pm check in time, I’ve never experienced this with any other property. Usually whatever time you get in, you check in and have access to your room. The check in process is completely disorganized, having to continuously check with the front desk. Luggage room is a nightmare. Hotel is clean and amenities are very good. Staff was nice and helpful. Just seems they can not handle large crowds or their busy season.

It’s a great hotel in a great location looking over the square. It’s beautiful, big, and busy. Units were clean and modern. Beds were comfortable. Breakfast was the highlight, it’s delicious and they offer a big spread. Roof top is amazing, views are top notch. The only feedback I’ll offer is to supply blankets in the rooms. With the AC, sometimes it could be too cold at night. All ins all a 5 star location.
