Urban Hive Madrid

8/10 Good

"The hotel is in a great location. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Ride share knew the hotel location and picked us up/ dropped us off right in front of the hotel lobby. The only issue we had was the hot water went out for the hotel late one of the nights. The issue was resolved by the morning and we had no other problems the rest of our stay! Highly recommend!!!!!"

Radisson RED Madrid

8/10 Good

"The hotel is good for a short stay, but unfortunately there is a strike and a demonstration next to the hotel. We could not take taxi or any transportation to hotel ,only walk and carry luggage in the rain and cold climate,plus at night not easy to find the address. Same style of breakfast for our 3-day stay, also, not a real 3*Michelin restaurant as marketing?BTW, the room is quite small, even with a big terrace attached."
