Ikonik Gran Vía

The location, breakfast and staff. The kettle at reception.

great location in a very busy street, room was spacious and modern, bathroom was great, reception staff were very welcoming and process was very easy

Positive aspects: -New hotel, everything is brand new with simple and very sixties deco; -Super well located, to know the town and for shopping, metro station just in face -Despite being in the gran via, at night I only heard the ambulances -The view from the room is stunning and the old balcony is really charming -Confortable and clean I will definitely come back if they don't raise the prices...

Excellent hotel in a lovely renovated old building situated in the heart of Madrid, close to all the restaurants and shops and easy to find and access from the airport via the metro station(s) nearby. The hotel is in a lovely building and our bright and nicely decorated room on the fifth floor gave us all the comfort we needed. We had a room with city views and it was lovely looking at the Gran Via at night. Luckily, the windows are very well soundproofed and we slept like babies in the huge bed. Matress was good and pillows as well. The bathroom was also very large and it had a comfortable hot shower room. Breakfast is really excellent with ample choice and as such, it offers good value for money in comparison to hotels with similar comfort levels. We also very much liked the breakfast area itself, with its large windows overlooking the streets. Much nicer than being stuck in a basement. The hotel staff is friendly and accommodating, the lobby is quite small but it has free water and coffee/tea on offer which was certainly welcome and appreciated. You can walk from the hotel to all the major sights in Madrid or take the metro/bus easily from there. In all we really enjoyed our stay and regretted only being in the room/hotel for one night.

1. The location is very central. 2. The staff were very helpful and courteous.
