"First of all, the location is excellent, just a 5-minute walk from the Prado Museum and a 10-minute walk from Puerta del Sol, which is commendable. However, the room smelled strongly after renovations. The hotel also insisted on charging an extra €55 for bringing my daughter, who's under 11. This is incomprehensible. We've traveled all the way from Amsterdam, Brussels, Cologne, Frankfurt, and Madrid, and we've never encountered such treatment. Hilton and Marriott hotels don't charge extra for bringing children, and the Frankfurt Hilton even offered a free extra bed. We booked a so-called superior king room with a street view, but if you look closely at the room pictures, you can only see the balcony of the building opposite, with no street view at all. Beware! We tipped €50 from check-in to check-out. The bellhop was incredibly helpful. This hotel has a large staircase, so travelers with a lot of luggage should be aware of this pitfall. 😂😂"
