The breakfast is good. The rooms are clean, but the furniture a old. It is a basic hotel, the staff is kind an helpful, great location in Madrid. At the entrance of the hotel you have some stairs to go underground, where is the recetion. No elevator at the entrance to go underground for reception. If you have a big... More

Hidden hotel, good location for discovering Madrid. The only thing you see is a lobby and two small elevators. One fot 4 and one for 3 persons. How many rooms are there? Lots. So if it is fully booked, the queues will be immense. Rooms at the back view on old walls. Needs a bit of paint and restauration. Breakfast?... More

GOOD: Clean hotel. Looks like well protected against fire. Excellent clean spacious room, good bedding, good fittings, safebox (1 EUR per usage), excellent sound-proof windows from street noise (very New York City). Good LCD TV except that the provided menu in the room doesn't correspond at all to the reality (less channels as advertised). Smoking room upon request. Excellent housekeeping... More

The hotel is very central and clean but rooms need some reburshment. Bathroom door does not close. Bathroom tiles have black mould surrounding them. Carpets in the room are needed when the weather gets colder. Air-conditioning in our room was reported and it was not fixed by he time we left 2 days later. but above all it was clean... More

I travelled with a friend and our experience of the hotel was better than what the reviews said. There is'nt an elevator at the street level of the hotel so everytime you go in or out, you have to go up or down a flight of stairs to get to an elevator. For young people in shape this should not... More

The street level of the hotel doesnt have an elevator, you have to carry laugage by yourself all the way down to reception and then up when you leave. we arrived in the middle of the night with two babies - they refused to help!!! the elevatores in the other floors are tiny, most of the time we walked up...

best thing of the hotel is its location. right in the center of madrid. we didn't have to use the metro AT ALL! the rooms are not luxurious, but comfy, clean, and homey. the staff is very proffesional and breakfast is perfect!!! highly reccomended for both young and adult travelers. probably not for families. all in all very satisfying.

We have just returned from the Hotel Rex in Madrid. It is what it says it is a 3 star. Clean hotel, maids did a good job every day, reception staff were friendly, I needed a sewing kit and they had one, which wasnt a problem to them. Breakfast was good, good variety. Excellent location for loads of attractions. We... More

If you're looking for a good location to do some sightseeing in Madrid, this is a very good place to stay. The hotel is right on the Calle Gran Via (main road), close to a metro stop but also convenient when you want to walk to all the hotspots in town. We had a room in one of the upper... More
