![]() The bathroom was okay - clean and functional shower and toilet - with a sink outside this room adjoining a wardrobe, a different design to what I'm used to but worked fine. Wifi worked well up in the room (and down in the bar) but it was an annoyance there's no bedside power points - I ended up stretching a cable across the bed to charge my mobile devices. I found the room stifling at times, even with the aircon on (I kept it on a low setting just to make the nights a bit more bearable) but didn't realise until later I could have opened a window. My room had a roaring 20's speak-easy gangster feel to it initially dark upon entry (they keep the curtains closed) but the soft blue light and furniture all adds to the wall decoration and general room theme. Each time I passed by reception they were friendly and polite, a good sign for travellers to Madrid. Check-in was good - they had all my details, the receptionist spoke good English and everything was pretty well-organised. Everything very clean and comfortable and the room was very quiet so the sleep quality was excellent.Ġ.53km from Cine Victoria I thought this hotel was a bit quirky and original - a retro feel that's quite Clockwork Orange, but the whole hotel is film-themed so you're bound to find some tricky cinematic references around the place. ![]() There are certainly shops/restaurants in this this area and you're next to a Metro station, but if you want a hotel within walking distance of the major tourist attractions this isn't a good choice. We walked very easily to the bus station and therefore it's an excellent choice if you are coming/going from that big bus station. HOWEVER - we had an early morning bus and were rushing through breakfast and so I was eating my breakfast sandwich from my hand as I was walking out of the buffet and was stopped by the staff and told I couldn't take food out of the breakfast room but that she'd let it go "this time" and that was not a nice way to start the day with this unnecessarily bad customer service. The hotel has a really good breakfast buffet, and I was a bit surprised as I did not expect this (I don't have a lot of experience with the AC Brand and their hotel at Atocha Station does not offer breakfast). Unfortunately we were only there one night but it was very clean and comfortable. 0.45km from Cine Victoria We're Bonvoy Titanium members and were upgraded to a large and very nice room.
